"Green Bags", what's the real scoop

[lovinlocks]

Can I get testimonies, please? I am looking to be a bit cleaner (been reading posts about washing veggies and I embarrassed to say I was purchasing and eating, and purchasing and eating ). Gonna be a washer now. Plus, I noticed my spinach, happenstanced on looking at the bottom of the bag and eeeuuu, this green slimy stuff. Had to go through it, separate the wilty leaves and discard = NOT GOOD! So, I'm wondering if the bags would be a good idea but wanna hear from real people vs. marketers.

I am spying an auction on e-Bay. 20 bags for about $12 by the time I pay shipping and handling (no auto here). Is that a good buy?

I have green bags and have not found them to be of use. I am not convinced that they keep things fresh for longer.
Last week I put one of those thingys in the fridge to soak up the gas so that may help.

Hi....I LOVE LOVE LOVE the green bags.My friend who owns a rawfood cafe swears by them too.They keep the greens fresh or even fruits on the counter in the bag.They dont ripen too quickly and spoil.You can time your produce for usage with the bags.
I have had alot of freshness from these.My fridge is full of them>need some more because the stuff that has no bag spoils..ugh.

I've been using them about a year now, I think. I've had salad greens (washed and spun dry) keep for over a WEEK in them, and still be crunchy!
I wouldn't be without them. I buy them at my local food co-op.

yep.. i have a bunch of them only because my mom got 'em for herself and for gifts to the family. they do indeed work! and they work very well. i've seen things... many fruits and veggies my mom bought and put in those bags and 2-3 weeks later everything was still like new. some things last longer than others... but kale type stuff seems to last the longest and i noticed strawberries amazed me. i'm just basing on the observants in my moms fridge and i do her grocery shopping for her.
so it may be a good investment if you happen to buy a lot of something on sale and don't want to use the freezer.

i've noticed at krogers that they are using green bags in the greens section, but they aren't ziplock. does anyone know if this is like a generic version or if the bags are differnt other than just being green?

One of the stores I went in had these light colored bags to put bulk items in..you know the ones on the wheel to rip off.These actually work well too although not as good as Debbie Meyers green bags.
