Amazon.com: Debbie Meyer Greenbags TM set of 50: Kitchen & Dining


Has anyone tried these? They got good reviews and it seems like they could save you money in the long run.

I got a set of three about a month ago for "testing" and they didn't pass the test among the 12 people that tested them they got a rating of 2 out of 15. They didn't seem to keep my fruits and veggies fresher than what I was just doing normally.

I've been curious about these myself as I need anything that will help prolong the deadline of my fruits and vegetables!

i have been using green bags they have really worked for us.
especially for tomatoes, bell pepperssome friut.
just be sure to rinse out and label what it was used for they say to try to use for same thing or at least just veg or just fruit
if you wash the stuff b4 you put it in the bag you must let it dry completely or it will ruin the bag .it is made out of clay not plastic

Cool, can you add the pull out bags from cereal boxes to the comparison? I have been using those and to me they seem to be working but I have never bought the "green bags" so can't give a true thumbs up or down!

I use them for mainly bananas. They do help there.
