We use plastic clips which we keep in the bread box. They sell
them at the supermarket and most kitchenware stores for a nominal
price. They last for years. Usually get lost (no, I don't know
how) before they even start to wear out.

They don't get all frayed like the paper-over-wire twist ties and their
colorful enough to be obvious if you forget to put one back on and leave it
on the countertop.

Also, if you are troubled by mold forming on your bread, you can obtain some
radioactive material from your favorite covert source and leave it in your
bread box or drawer. Also helpful for finding the bread in the dark when
you go into the kitchen for that late-night snack.
