Pick one of the hand wipes at the front of the store and put it in the cart. Wet your fingers with it. The bags are easy to open if your fingers are damp.

Can you share your secret on how you do .it
Take the bag and unfold it. Then hold it toward the top and rub your hands together with the opening still at the top. The top easily opens. Please everyone, don’t lick your fingers to open the bag and then pick thru loose veggies and fruits.

Pull down real hard, let out a blood curdling scream and someone will come over and help you.

Use the sticker off a piece of fruit. Works every time.

I’m with you! I go to the produce that is sprayed with water occasionally- touch the water and the bags are easily opened once your fingers are damp!

using a wet wipe and moistening your fingers will help to open those plastic bags. I know Walmart has those wipes in the beginning of the store for the carts. You can also use your hand sanitizer to wet your fingers.

Easy peezie. I have the same problem and have learned a few new curse words whilst trying to open the darn plastic bags. But, then I discovered something. I won't put my fingers in my mouth to get them wet (afterall, how many nasty surfaces have I touched in the store and in getting there). I go to where they have asparagus. Asparagus is always in a bath of water. I get my fingers wet, then slide them across the recalcitant plastic bag for tension and presto, I get the bag open and I don't draw the attention of my fellow shoppers by muttering curse words under my breath!

first you have to work up some saliva in your mouth then spit on your fingers(never put your fingers in your mouth)you have no idea where they have been. Once that saliva encases your fingers you will have no problem. When done just wipe your hands on your shirt! This works for me.

It helps to open it from the correct end.
