Green bags

[heidi0622]

I throw away so much produce! Has anyone ever used these Green Bags?

Do they work? Worth it or waste of money???

I want to know about those too.

This thread is timely... I saw the advertisement for these for the first time this morning - had never heard of them before... I'm curious to know if they work as well because produce just doesn't last as long as I'd like it to....

[jellybeany]

Wow if they really work that would be great!

[heidi0622]

Hmm...curiousity is getting the best of me, so I may be a sucker and try these one time.

Anyone out there that can give us a preview???

I'm interested to know too! We throw out so much produce.

amazon seems to have favorable reviews... assuming it's the same product.

Ok, I bit the bullet and bought some online. I'll report back in a few weeks how they work.

Heidi! I'm so excited that someone had the guts to buy some. You just might start a cult following. :D I always get mad that I didn't eat my produce quick enough. Good thing I have a compost bin.
Thanks for starting this thread, because I am quite curious and had never heard of them.

I have them, They work fairly well. I dont use them too often but I liked them for strawberries, spinach and cucumber. I got them off QVC.

Yay for Lisa!

Got mine in the mail yesterday. I'll be making a trip to the Farmer's market this weekend and report back next week :D

I've used them the past 2 weeks. I've used them for mixed greens and grapes so far. It has worked great so far for both. The lettuce lasted 10 days and usually it is done within 4-5 days. The grapes are still good after 10 days too. I did notice though that the grapes bag was wet, so I had to take them out and dry the bag - that seemed to really help them stay fresher longer. So far, it is a worthwhile investment.

heidi, thanks for the review. That's great about the lettuce b/c you're right, it usually only lasts about 4 or 5 days.

eta: Funny b/c I just threw out some lettuce that lasted about 4 days or so.

[Medako]

Any idea if/when these are going to be available in stores?

[mgrace]

I ordered some from reusablebags.com but haven't tried them out yet. I have heard they are fabulous, though. Medako, I think Whole Foods might carry them.

[Medako]

darn, we don't have Whole Foods around here.

[jellybeany]

I just placed an order on buygreenbags.com. Can't wait to get them. :)

I'm so glad to see this thread! I keep seeing the commercial on TV, and I just got a catalog that carries them, so I think I'll give them a try.

Medako, you can get them from the Harriet Carter catalog.

I LOVE my green bags! My bananas stay fresh for about a week and a half now and I had a head of lettuce, some tomatoes, and mushrooms in bags in my fridge and they lasted over 2 weeks without getting gross!

These bags are awesome. I've used them for carrots, mixed greens, bananas, avacados, mushrooms, peppers, etc. Everything lasts so much longer!
