"Green" bag sealer

When I come home from the store, I take most of my items out of the containers and put them into canisters and ziplock baggies. I do this because I hate packaging and feel that they are more convient to access this way. Well, guess I'm gonna have to look at this again. Here is an idea that you can use on any soft plastic bag to help avoid using disposables, and it keeps stuff sealed tight. This is especially great when you buy stuff from the bulk bins at a co-op or whole foods type store.

All you need to do is cut off the top of the bottle and take off the cap. Push the bag through the bottle neck, fold it over the edges, and twist the cap back on. Now, your bag has an air tight seal, and you didn't have to waste the bag.
