Frozen peas

I love peas, they don't last very long in my house. I have a plateful at a time!

I have clips from Lakeland plastics. They come in three sizes and many colours, and are easy to open and close - perfect. You can pur peas out of quite a smal cut in their original bag, so you don't need the large size clip.

I wonder if it would be cheaper to buy Ziploc bags yourself and decant cheaper peas into them?
Still a risk of peas going everywhere though.

I took a large, opened bag of frozen peas out of the freezer the other day, it had a peg on top.... unfortunately the bag was upside down and the weight of the peas forced the peg off..... bloody peas everywhere...

I bet Ziploc ones cost more?
The miser in me would be reluctant to pay more, but the emotional reward may be worth it?

We have some of these, they keep the tops of the bags flat:

Other retailers available

The peas we buy come in a ziplock bag.

Pea soup, anyone?

We used to tease my mum about pegs being on the Hoover cord to keep it in place, on the tops of cereal boxes to keep them bent over.

Then one day I went to my daughters salad drawer, and there was half a bag of salad, with a peg on it!

I'm another clothes peg user. My daughter has lots of those freezer clips.

My mum was a big fan of the clothespeg for keeping things in their place.

Thanks very much all. Good of you to take the time to answer a rather stupid question. Will get some zip lock bags and try the other suggestions as I go along with other things. The original packs need to be quite a way down I find before rubber bands or clothes pegs can get a grip.

Yes, I often decant frozen things into separate portions in zip-lock bags and it work perfectly.

If there is still anything in the original bag, I expel the air, fold over the top and, like Kittylester use rubber bands to seal it. Pegs are too faffy in my tiny freezer and special clips cost money!

Rubber bands are possibly the most useful thing in my kitchen, I use them to ensure bags in the pantry are well-closed too.

I use clips for pasta porridge and suchlike but I find you can snip a corner off peas sweetcorn etc and elastic bands work better.

I gave lots of those freezer clips. I always buy the big bads and just clip them and use as necessary.

Elastic bands. I keep a small packet in kitchen drawer. Also seals food waste recycle bags. Very cheap.

Or decant them into one of those zip lock freezer bags? That way you just take out what you need and then zip them back up again.

We keep ours in a freezer box.

Oh yes Grannyben I am an avid user of the clothes peg - preferably the wooden variety - so versatile - never go anywhere without a clothes peg handy

I stick a clothes peg on the top of the bag

Just decant to manageable portion tubs/bags ASAP .
