They're also much stronger than any "chip clip" I've ever used. I’m with you on the binder clip solution; I keep a box of those in the kitchen and the office, and I can use them for whatever.

One tiny piece does it for the bag. If you don’t have enough room to ‘peg’ the bag or if the bag is made out of that annoying silver-plastic stuff that doesn’t fold well, just use a piece of tape.

I wouldn't call clips unitaskers at all. Like others, I use clips all the time — so many things come in plastic bags — not foil, for which this trick is suitable.

I JUST blogged about chip clips. (((cue Twilight Zone theme music))) I do use the chip clips but got crazy tired of chasing them all over the countertop, so I figured out a simple solution, which is what I wrote about a few days ago. I like the special rolling technique, but honestly, now that my chip clips are organized, I doubt I'd take the time or effort to roll a bag like that. ~Monica How odd!

So, in our house, we just couldn't live without our clips.
