Try tupperware Fridgesmarts. They keep fruits and veggies really well. Also, don't wash fruits and veggies until you are ready to use.

I don't keep veggies and fruit that long in the refrigerator, since I like to buy smaller amounts and going shopping about every five days. Haven't needed to try those bags, but I do see them in the product department.

I agree. I have some and can use them up to about 2 weeks. They do work better than Ziploc and other plastic bags though.

HERE TO HELP

When I am in the grocery store if I know something that will help another I will tell them as the lady who was buying fresh fruit and vegetables. I let her know about the green bags and how they do work. If you put bananas in a green bag, a brown bag do not close put in cool place away from sun.

MORE INFORMATION:
I do this and also my romaine lettuce put a paper towel around it and in a green bag, leave open and put in refrig and it will last 2 weeks or more. I save a lot of money with the green bags and you can use them over several time. I use them with all my fresh foods. Try the green bags.

Green Bags Work!

Debbie Meyer Green Bags help keep all fruits and vegetables stay fresh longer! It works by absorbing and removing Ethylene Gas that is given off by fruits, veggies, and cut flowers as they ripen and rot. You can wash and reuse the bags. You get about ten uses per bag.

MORE INFORMATION:
As a single loving my fresh fruit and veggies, I had to go with smaller quantities and frequent trips to the store to maintain my stock. Now I can buy cheaper in bulk and throw them in the green bag and they last! I can buy a bunch of bananas instead of just two or three! A time saver!
