Chip clips, bag clips, food clips—whatever you call them, they’re the sort of thing that you always want to have around the house, because whether you’re using them for food storage, organization, or decoration, they’re one of those inexpensive yet indispensable devices that just make life better. Here are our picks.
Cheap and Cheerful
It goes without saying that you don’t need a bag of chips to use a chip clip, as they’re useful for any bag of food that you want to seal effectively. So if you don’t want your kitchen cupboards or drawers littered with stray pasta, rice, or flour, get yourself some clips. To keep food as fresh as possible, fold the top of the bag over more than once so your clip creates as airtight a seal as it can.
Long Lasting Materials
Try using color-coded chip clips to help you distinguish between different types of foods. You might choose yellow for pasta, blue for flour, green for sugar, or group according to how you cook: red for cake-making ingredients, yellow for carbs. You’re sure to find a system that suits your kitchen.
For Every Room
Of course chip clips don’t just have to be used for food storage. These versatile tools often come with a magnet attached, making them a great option for sticking onto a fridge and clipping notes, shopping lists, or reminders. Plus, they’re an easy way to hang up star report cards or your kids’ art pieces.
