Thrifty Thursday: No Expensive Sealers Needed!

This week's Thrifty Thursday post is a quick tip!

Did you know you can seal any plastic bag without an expensive sealer?

Simply fold a piece of aluminum foil over the edge of the bag that you want to seal. Then run a hot iron over the edge (making sure the aluminum foil is covering BOTH sides where you are running the iron). It will seal the bag, and you can keep packages fresher longer!

Of course, this tip is for you only if you actually own an iron, I know. But it gives some of us an extra excuse to dust the iron off ;)

What a great idea! I have never heard of that before. It's also nice because you don't have to store a big clunky sealer in your house!
