I was chatting the other night about things that you buy and actually get a lot of use out of. I have these small folding tables that have literally served as dinner tables/laptop tables in front of the idiot box for years. (I’m actually using one right now.)

I try my best not to buy crap, but Kmart does suck me in occasionally. I love how their giant ice cube trays are so cheap (MM I’m looking at you for charging $15 when they’re near identical and $1.75 at the big K.)

That said, I bought these chip clips (from Kmart). Yes, exactly that. Four in a pack. Two shaped like corn chips and the other two shaped like crinkle cut chips and I love them. These silly clips bring me such joy, being able to clip a plastic corn chip to a Doritos pack.

In saying that, does anyone else keep their chips in the fridge after they’ve opened them? I swear by it. When I started doing it years ago it was a complete game changer when it came to chips going stale.

Anyway, LOL, whoever said money can’t buy happiness. For that dose, $1.75. Hahahaha.

Oops, looks like they’re on clearance. I think I better get a few more.

I don't understand this chips in fridge thing. You open chips, eat all the chips, throw away bag. What is there to put a clip on and refrigerate?

I only buy those huge bags of round corn chips for having with guac. Those packs last me many weeks.

I’m a chips in fridge gangster 👋. It’s a world of difference.

I got some of those chip clips too, but chips in the fridge sounds absolutely wild

Haha. This is one of those things in life I can back 100%.

Honestly, once you do it, you’ll never go back.

I use bag clips but don't do the fridge. The chips seem fresh enough.
