Ok so this drives my wife crazy when I do this so I thought I would find out what the rest of you do. I am a twist and fold guy. I think that seals the bag just as good as putting that stupid twist tie back on the bag.
I usually go with the 3 second rule. I look for the twisty on the counter, if I don't see it in 3 seconds the bag just gets twisted and tucked under. If I do see the tie I will put it back on then twist and tuck.
I just leave it open and set it on the toilet seat and later it's always put up like magic. my wife asks me to be better but why spoil her after 30 years together
Use the tie for a while on new loaf. After I feel there's enough to tuck under the bread to hold it down I do the twist and fold.
I'm not falling for the propaganda put forth by the corporate twist-tie machine. I don't need your useless tie that takes more time to implement.
I tie it in a knot and move on. If it can't be tied in a not I twist and tuck. Both piss off the old lady. But my response to that is that she pisses me off when she gets mad over nothing. So stfu and move on with life
