Hello, kids! Today's Tip comes to us from VillageLife. (Thanks, Izzy! )
Scroll on down and check it out.


EASY WAY TO STORE DRY FOODS

As you can see in the images below, you can turn any plastic bag into a sealable storage
container by using the top portion and screw cap from a plastic bottle. I think this would
be especially good for grains and cereals, as you could then easily pour them out through
the small cap opening and easily measure the correct amount that you need.

It looks good but I think the plastic bag will show some wear after opening and closing a few times.

I've seen this somewhere... I forget where. It's another ingenious use of everyday stuff. Many come in quite useful and are really very clever. I come up with a few and adopt a few. Thanks Izzy & Pam!

Can't I just use my twist ties. Looks like a fun thing to keep the kids occupied, making bags for their goodies.

Good tip, Pam, but store your food in a glass container. It's healthier. Who knows what is the plastic bag made out of.
Here you go, make something else from your plastic bag Or use it to store stuff other than food.

Good idea Pam.

We don't get through packs as quickly as we used to.
