MIL has arthritic hands as well as carpal tunnel syndrome in one hand. She is having a harder time with zip top bags, especially her packaged frozen fruit bags.
Those click closed containers are impossible for her to snap shut.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have exhausted Google search.
Thank you
over a couple of times and put an old fashioned wooden clothesline clip with the metal spring to keep it closed . These are easier than chip clips . I use them on chip bags, the bags inside the cereal box, my Pepperidge Farm cookie bags etc . I love my wooden clothesline clips . I keep a pretty bowl of my wooden clips on the counter .
You can buy 100 of them on Amazon for a few dollars . They sometimes break , but 100 pack lasts me years .

It'll be difficult to freeze foods using these methods, however, so maybe mom can buy fresh foods in smaller amounts.
Maybe she could use this for food she makes , leftovers for the freezer .

I first saw these at our local Mast General Store and bought several for Christmas gifts.
I have trouble closing zip tops and then have trouble getting them open because my hands are weak. As others have said, I too use clips to close store bought products that have zip top closures. I love WayToMisery suggestion of wooden clothes pins... very affordable.
