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. 🙂

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..

January 12, 2013 at 9:02 pmI 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!

January 12, 2013 at 11:58 pmI 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.
