How savvy housewives store food: an original life hack

As you know, many products should be stored in a dry place without access to air.

However, there are not always enough containers, jars and other vessels that could be used for this purpose.

In this case, plastic bags will come to the rescue, in which you can place everything you need, and then securely close the bag.

This is where the time comes for a useful trick that has been tried by many housewives.

If the bag does not have a clip (called a zip-lock) or adhesive tape that can be used to tightly close the product, use regular paper clips.

It is enough to bend the neck of the bag several times, and then put a paper clip on it, like a clothespin.

As you know, clips can be of different sizes, so use the smallest ones for bags with various seasonings and spices. By the way, if you opened several packages at once, for example, with cloves or pepper, such a clip will conveniently combine all the opened bags into one group.

Remember that the metal from which the clamps are made can rust, so they should only be used for dry products.
