has anyone tried them green bags they used to advertise ? was wondering if they help keep stuff fresh longer ..
or any tips to help things last ? I want to start pre cutting/slicing things like onions/bell peppers, but would like them to last a few days (I could prepare everything on a day off, so I can make quick meals at home) ..
just a question .. no bashing please .. I know most stuff on the market is crap, but never know if that 1 item might be worth it ..lol

I've never heard of these before and I've never seen them. But now you have me interested because my fruits/veggies spoil fast sometimes!0

they were called "debbie meyers green bags" or something like that .. I seen them at the dollar general a few months ago.. but was just thinking about them
-- found a link http://www.greenbags.com/
but I don't plan to order them online, esp if D.G. still has them .. but was wondering, if they work, awesome. . if not, save my few dollars .lol
guess, I will have to experiment and find out though0 -
They have them at the Dollar Tree....I think they really work well and I use them all the time0

I have and they worked. I was surprised. I mean its not like they keep stuff good indefinitely, but it definitely helps them last longer. :-)
and from what I understand you can buy As Seen On TV ones at places like Dollar General now.0 -
I use them. I think they work!! It seems like they keep my lettuce and spinach fresh up to 3 days longer than regular storage in the fridge. I also use them on onions and peppers. I have never tried them on fruit, but I love them!!0

I have some of them but I'v never used them.
As for pre-cutting fruits and veggies, I've done it for onions, peppers, zucchini, watermelon, cantalope, squash (acorn, spaghetti, and summer), apples, mango, papaya, pineapple, beets, celery, carrots, lettuce, eggplant, and broccoli. I think that's it.
Store the cut up items in a ziploc bag or a airtight container.
Apples will turn brown in a day, eggplant takes a couple of days. Pineapple - cut on Sunday, good til Wednesday/Thursday.
For celery, wrap it in a paper towel then wrap in foil and it'll last MUCH longer without turning brown.
Lettuce, store in a ziploc bag with a damp paper towel and replace the towel every other day.0 -
They didn't work for me. I just threw out several last week. If I knew they really worked for others I would've been happy to pop them in the mail for you!0

I want to be able to prep for a few days at a time but I don't want the food going bad b4 I can eat it ..lol0 -
