I saw an infomercial at the hospital about this and was very interested :) I have thought about it before but just haven't done it.

Debbie Myer's Green bags http://www.greenbags.com/ 20 bags for $9.95 plus shipping (reusable up to 10 times)



Evert fresh green bags http://www.reusablebags.com/store/evertfresh-green-bags-pack-medium-p-27.html?gclid=COLdpK3I7JACFQUsPAodBDFxXQ
$7.95 for 10 large (1.5 gallon). $5.45 for 10 medium (1 gallon). $3.25 for 10 small (1/2 gallon) reusable 8 to 10 times

I think the evert fresh are sold at whole foods - or something very similar. If I can find this at Whole Foods, I'll probably buy them there cuz it would make it for sure chepaer than the others with no shipping involved :)

the bags must be used with only one type of fruit/veggie in them each time and must be rinsed with warm soapy water and dried before reusing.

Keep fresh http://www.keepfresh.com.au/q&a.asp SOmething you put in your produce bin (can be used on refrigerator shelves IF you put it close enough to the fruits/veggies) This is in Australian product and I honestly don't know if its expensive or not $32.00 for a dispenser and 12 month pack for each draw (twin pack) 12 month single pack is $18.00 (AUD). I have to look on a conversion site and see. When I hit "contact us" to find out how much shipping to the US is, I get an error message.

I haven't used any but am thinking seriously about it. Right now, we happen to be doing fantastically not wasting produce but it's not always that way. And we would save a lot of money and possibly could cut back to shopping to every 2 weeks :think

I am curious if anyone has tried these and if they work or are not worth the money??

We use some green bags we get from our regular groccery there less than what listed in the links but basically the same thing. I use them for our bannanas and they work quite well.

I saw those too and was wondering about them. I use Tupperware's Fridge Smarts. They definitely lengthen the life of my veggies. :yes I don't know how the bags would compare, though.

We used to have organic produce delivered and I bought some of those green bags through them. I think they worked OK. I tended to rip them more easily than I wanted to. :/
