Keep Fruits and Vegetables Fresh Longer

The produce co-op that I talked about here comes with a lot of fruits and vegetables.  It's approximately 2 laundry baskets worth.

If you have a smaller family or don't go through a bunch of produce quickly it is possible to keep your produce fresh for two weeks (sometimes longer). We use the Debbie Meyer green bags for all our produce.  In the past, we used to waste money regularly because produce would spoil before we had a chance to eat it all. Since we've started using the Debbie Meyer bags I rarely throw away produce anymore.

The only thing I'd like to call out is read the materials that come with the bags.  When you put produce in the bags you need to ensure it's dry.  If you notice moisture collecting you should wipe down the inside of the bag, otherwise the produce will actually spoil faster.

You can get a box of 20 bags (10 large, 10 small) for only $0.99 + $4.99 shipping.  Details can be found here.  Even with $5 shipping it's still a savings of 40% since these retail for $9.99.

As an aside, I've never been a fan of 'As Seen on TV Products'.  However these Debbie Myer green bags really do work!
