Does Debbie Meyer Green Bags Really Work?

I love the green bags. I find my vegatables, bread and cheese last signifantly longer. Not much help with strawberries but most other fruits and vegtables get a much longer storage life. I have some of her green boxes also and find they are just as wonderful.

Debbie Meyer Green Bags are treated storage bags that are alleged to help keep produce intact longer than with “traditional” storage methods (storage bags or just tossed in the crisper drawer, etc.). To “enhance” their selling point, they also have a green tint to them. In the commercials, it is stressed repeatedly that you can’t get the same results with simple, everyday storage bags. If you do a search online for product reviews on Debbie Meyer Green Bags, you’ll find it is a real love-it-or-hate-it product. Some say they work like a dream; others say it’s a waste of money. I’m with the latter, as I found that the worked no better or worse than any other garden-variety storage bag you could get for a fraction of the price. Maybe on SOME fruits and veggies it MAY work better, but for what WE used, no. Like so many other infomercial items, it SEEMS like a great idea, one that ought to work (and wouldn’t it be grand if it did!) but the sad fact is that, again, like so many other infomercial items, it doesn’t live up to the hype. Save your money, folks. Besides, if you REALLY need to keep produce in your fridge for weeks and weeks at a time, maybe you MIGHT save some bucks if you bought only what you needed AND used it up in a timely matter. There’s also the matter of making it a habit to look deep into your fridge, say, once a week and see what’s inside. The sad truth is that produce – as much as we and Debbie Meyer might wish otherwise! – just isn’t meant to last forever. Or even a few weeks. And Debbie Meyer Greed – I mean GREEN – Bags aren’t going to help you, anyway.
