    I'm such a rebel I'm not on the chart. I use a twist tie (not the twist and tuck) and then put it in a bread box. I have this neat vintage one that my mom had as long as I can remember before getting a new one and giving it to me:

    I used to be a chaotic neutral but DH prefers lawful neutral and it seems like an easy thing to let him win

    @bows22 Legitimately, same. I would always lose the bag clips and bread ties so I just did the twist and tuck for the longest time but MH hates it.

    What is the chaotic good hack? Never heard of it. 

    I’m lawful neutral, MH is lawful evil & it drives me nuts. I love that it’s called “evil” because that’s exactly what that knot is!

    I think DH and I are both chaotic neutral, but that's only because most of the time, we can't find the bag clip.  :D

    I am also a chaotic neutral married to a lawful neutral, too funny that there are so many of us! We fight about the ties in the produce section all the time (when we used to go to the grocery store, that is).

    We are lawful neutral and chaotic neutral (if we lose the tab lol). If I'm lazy, I'm neutral evil.

    @keikilove you cut off the top section of a plastic bottle, thread the bag through and fold it over and then twist the cap on top.

    @inthewoods23 I still don't get it.  That seems like a ton of unnecessary work!

    @DoubleUp8 I love that you use a bread box! I'm a girl who dreams of having a cute bread box on the counter. But the humidity here would mold the bread in a heartbeat.

    @legallykate I am 100% lawful evil in the produce department! I do have reusable draw-string produce bags, but those are prohibited in stores at the moment because of COVID.

    @keikilove in the northeast we don't need to work about humidity for a lot of the year. I thought the whole point of bread boxes was to keep the humidity out? Though my retro metal one obviously wouldn't do a great job.
