debbie meyer makes a non disposible vesion that has the chemical ova permanently in the plastic. Im not sure of the quality of the plastics, i suppose you could do some more looking into that, but its better than buying bags and throwing out. they sell them on eiether hsn.com or qvc.com i cant remeber and theyre called green boxes.. they also do bread, cheese and meat, and freeze and microwave.

Our local TV channel tested the bags successfully, that made me curious. I’ve been using them for some weeks. Even though one of the tomatoes developed mold prematurely, I have to say, I really like the green bags. I agree that the food has to stay as dry as possible in the bag for it to work properly. I fold my bags closed, not tight.

My neighbor brought me the variety box from Big Lots which is a lot cheaper. The box also contains meat bags! I threw the first bag away after using it, since I read somewhere that these bags should be washed with cold water without soap. (I washed the green bags with hot soapy water up until I read that.) Any experiences with that?

Thank you so much for posting your review! I’ve seen these around, but wasn’t sure how well they actually work. I’ll have to check them out.

I have used them way over 10 times each and wash them after each use and they continue to work great.I have also bought the lunch meat ones and the new bread bags one.The lunch meat ones are pink and zip up and the bread bags are clear.

You know, these just didn’t work for me. I had purchased two boxes worth with very high expectations. What I found annoying was that, if I remember correctly, the instructions say that you have to towel down the inside of the bag if the fruit or veggies sweat and moisture accumulates. I was wiping down the inside of bags almost daily and it became more of a hassel for me. Maybe I did it wrong, but when I DIDNT wipe the bag down, things went bad pretty quickly.

I’ve thought of trying them again, though. Is that insane? lol

I’ve noticed a couple people have mention problems with lettuce. I have a “spinner” to wash lettuce with and then spin to get the water off. I can store my lettuce in it and is lasts a VERY VERY long time. Also I know a lot of people have a lot of good things to say about the frdigsmart from tupperware that someone mentioned in another comment here.

I also use FridgeSmart containers, and I didn’t pay a cent for them Thank goodness because Tupperware is expensive. (I had a party and a set of them was the special hostess gift for the month.) I use them mostly for my celery, carrots and lettuce, and they work great. I have to keep referring back to the instructions though, because mine do not have the moisture settings on them (the newer ones do). I had considered the Green Bags for other things that don’t fit so well in the FridgeSmarts, so now I’ll have to give them a shot!

I use them, and also the bread bags too and they work for me! I really appreciate the bread bags, I use them for my homemade bread, and also for cakes, pretzels, etc… love them

I’ve had the same fridgesmarts for 5 years, and they really do work. You just have to make sure that you close the lids tightly and use the correct vents for the type of produce!
