It’s not very frugal when you have to throw lettuce away because it got soggy, moldy, smelly and just nasty. So use this tip to help make your lettuce last longer!
Did you know…
You can very easily keep your lettuce fresh and crisp with this simple trick…Just put a paper towel in with your lettuce (on top and bottom) and cover with plastic wrap! That’s it! The paper towel will absorb the moisture on the lettuce which is what would wilt it if you didn’t do this. 🙂
Interesting… Guess we’ll be doing that… My husband said they use to do that at his old pizza business but he forgot until I read this to him.
I do that with cilantro
…and just fyi, for celery, wrap it in tin foil, and it’ll last a looooong time!
Great tip! Thanks!!
Ditto- But after my Wife Died, I didn’t have a clue..so I just asked my Trusty and now became my Go Too Guy..Produce Mgr of my Grocery Store..!

.
The STRAW and Zip Lock Bag -Vacum Seal Trick!
and the Paper Towel Trick !
and not to go out and buy some exopensive machines , just yet to do the Vacuming and Don’t use your Vacum Cleaner or Hand Vac either ( LOL)
He knows every Trick in the Book, learning them over the yrs form his Customers ..I told him to write a Book for use Single & Widower guys!I’d pay $20 for it! He’s doing just that as we speak..about all his Produce and all the Trick with each.. Can’t wait till it comes out..He said he will Give me a Autogrpahed Copy..for Encouraging him to do it..
Hope that helps some other Widowed or single guys out there..
I am using tupperware’s fridgesmart containers. They r the absolute best on the market. Not cheap but I look at them as an investment. & they have a lifetime guarantee. I no longer throw away my expensive produce!
So do they work..they are expensive but if they work then after several weeks of not throwing away produce would pay for itself..
LOVE LOVE LOVE my Tupperware Fridgesmarts!!!

Becky….the fridgesmarts always go on sale, usually bogo, in the summer. If u have a Tw show, u can get them free. That’s how I got my first set & it was well worth the effort. Absolutely works!
I do that with almost all veggies. I was my lettice set in on a towel for a few to lest as much water as possible drain out then I wrap it in paper towel and put it in a zip lock bag. Its clean and crisp when ever I need it.
Hello, Neat post. There’s a problem along with your site in internet explorer, could check this? IE nonetheless is the market leader and a huge element of people will omit your excellent writing due to this problem.
I’ve downloaded a few wordpress blog themes from other websites. They are in the zip file format. How do I apply them? Can I get a step by step guide?.
