Organized nails I use the sandwich sized bags to store small lots of nails. I punch a hole in the left top of a bag and then hang it on a peg on a pegboard. The nails are then visible, accessible, and remain rust-free. No more tin can scramble to find the right nail for the job. Ziploc saves the day!

Organized kids' outfits I have 3 small children so sorting laundry is a hassle, much less getting ready in the morning. I've started putting 1 complete outfit in a gallon size Ziploc and it's made my mornings so much easier. I pick out their bag and it's got everything from socks to underwear in it. I then give these clothes to the kids. It makes everything a snap....or should I say I Zip through the morning?
