Don’t Worry About Open Bags in the Freezer

This simple hack makes it easy to knot that open bag of fries securely.

When we came across this hack, we knew we had to share it with all of you.

Ever open a bag of frozen fries and only use half? (Ok, probably not, but how about a Costco size bag of frozen sweet potato fries?) If you’re like us, you probably twist the top into some kind of knot. Sometimes the knot holds, sometimes it doesn’t. Or maybe you fold down the bag and put it into a ziploc bag. That works, but it’s kind of wasteful.

Try this instead!

Instead of cutting the bag open across the top, cut a wide “U” into it.

Pour out whatever you’ll be using.

Then you can grab the two “handles” that you created

and tie them into a tight knot! So easy and neat!

This also works with those extra big bags of lettuce or anything else that you’re not going to use up right away.

    And if it’s something like fries, I’m thinking greasy hands, greasy outside of bag now, greasy everything in the freezer it touches… no thanks! I’ll keep my ziploc bag! But not wasteful because when bag is empty, I stick ziploc in door of freezer & reuse on next bag of fries, whatever.

      I just tried it and my bag was not greasy! I think it depends on the company of the fries.

    I close all my frozen bags (fries, broccoli, edamame…) with rubber bands.

    Lol I usually just cut as small a hole as possible to pour out the fries or whatever it is. Then I roll up the open part and hope for the best 🙂
    It works and I usually use the rest of the bag fast enough that I don’t have to worry about freezer burn or anything

    Bag Clips! Dollar store sells a bag of them in various sizes and I use them for everything. They even keep a bag of lettuce fresher longer.

    Great tip!
    For those nervous about greasy bags, you don’t have to use it for French fries.
    I tried it with cauliflower and also for half a bag of barley. Worked great for both!
