Solidly into "why didn't I think of that" territory.
Who's got other examples? I'll go first:
In my kitchen, I have a coffee can full of ordinary plastic clothespegs/pins that I use to clip bags shut. They work so much better than occlupanids or even purpose-made bag clips, whether you fold or spin the bag.
- jiofih 6y agoWhy not go the extra mile and use wooden pegs. Less plastic!
- atoav 6y agoI am ging to be that guy now: he already has those plastic pegs. Throwing them away and getting wooden ones may look more environmentally friendly, but it isn't. Avoiding to buy plastic in the future is a good idea. But throwing away perfectly fine plastic stuff you have to replace it with wood stuff isn't.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoThat's the case in my home. We have some supply of plastic clothespins bought years ago, and some of them just slowly migrated to the kitchen. We aren't planning to buy any kind of new ones any time soon.
- wlesieutre 6y agoI use metal binder clips for holding bags shut. Maybe they'll break eventually but I've been using the same ones for years and haven't had one break yet.
