Use Plastic Bottle Tops To Seal A Plastic Bag
Here's a simple yet ingenious tip my Mom shared with me...

Zip-lock bags are great, but sometimes you buy something in bulk and you’re stuck with an unsealable bag.
No more twist ties or rubber bands. Method is water proof and air tight.

1) Cut up a disposable water boottle and keep the neck and top:



2) Push the bag through the bottle neck, fold it over the edges, and twist the cap back on.
Now your bag has an air and water tight seal, and you didn’t have to waste the bag. cool
