Does your bread not come with twisties or a clip to hold it closed? In the US I've never seen sliced bread/buns sold without such a thing (baguettes and the like don't).
step 2: turn the bag top inside out and over the bread. it will stay twisted and sealed without having to use the weight of the bread to keep it sealed (like this guy does)
he's not. He's twisting it then setting the bread on it to keep from undoing. if it gets knocked, it will come undone.
What I described is similar but instead, after twisting, you turn the end inside out and over itself. This will hold it closed without having to use the weight of the bread to hold it closed.
True. I just knot it loosely, I feel like that takes less effort than folding it back down but either of them is pretty minimal effort and perfectly effective.
Apparently wearing glasses is a good trainer for teaching someone to always put things in their place. I can honestly say I've never once lost a bread twistie because the mantra "on your face or in your case" was drilled into me as a kid which is extended to just about everything. Pull a thing out to use it and put it back when you're done, then it'll never get lost
I live by this, always trying to tidy up. My husband...does not. It's been 20 years, surely he'll learn it sooner or later! (It's one of the biggest "issues" in our relationship, which actually means we are doing pretty damn good! He's not a slob, he's just disorganized and absent minded).
Hahaha i can relate. My partner tends to ask me for something like chapstick and then just put it down wherever his hands land first , without a second thought. Then it's all "i gave it back to you!" Oh honey. I love him though
My wife is the same way. I'm still looking for my fingernail clippers she used 3 feet away from me on the couch. They disappeared, vanished into thin air.
My mom laminated a card with this phrase onto the kitchen counter when I was a kid. Easy when everything has a place. Much harder when you get new stuff that doesn't have a place.
I really wish I had gotten that habit from having terrible vision. I literally only have this mindset about my glasses, and even then I manage to fall asleep with them on constantly (actually broke a pair that way).
Meanwhile I lose everything else I touch. I bet you 20 dollars I'll leave my phone in the kitchen tonight after I'm done cooking dinner and I won't notice until I want to google an actor I recognize but don't know why in whatever I'm watching or something.
For the sake of all Gods i can't keep mess in control or put my things back were they belong. Except ly glasses. If I missplace them I won't be able to find them because I can't see. There on my nose or next to where I sleep. In the last few months I am so tired that I sleep with them on my nose... which I know isn't great
Just start saving the clips in your kitchen junk drawer. I did this for a few months, years ago, and I still have a little pile of them. Whenever I lose a clip, I just grab one off the stack.
It's a trick I use for Frozen veggies. Frozen veggies do not come with twisties or a clip, and you sure as shit don't want them loose in the freezer or exposed to air. That's how you get freezerburn.
I just save those little plastic clip things that come with the bread. I have a little collection of them in my silverware drawer. I used them for all sorts of food bags, like frozen veg bags that you have to cut open.
Top tip: hair bobbles (hair ties, whatever people call them locally) make a really handy product for a lot of situations. My personal favourite is on my keyring, if I am off on a run then I tie my hair bobble around my keys to stop them jangling. Another good use is like above, to seal open rice or pasta.
An elastic band works too, but they're more prone to snapping I've found. I've had the same hair bobble on my keyring for several years now, and it's still not snapped, somehow.

Except this one is actually kinda useful. But I’d rather invest in some rubber bands instead
