Don’t let your grocery budget rot away in the fridge -- try these handy food-savers (8 Photos)
Herbs On Demand
Fresh herbs are expensive. Whether you grow your own or buy them in bundles at the market, keep them fresher longer -- in the freezer. With the Fresh Mill, you can freeze fresh herbs and sprinkle them directly onto dishes. The palm-sized device provides all the convenience of dried herbs with a just-picked, fresh flavor.
$18.40 on Amazon
Flavor In, Vampires Out
Keeping garlic in a ventilated container helps it last longer. The Garlic Saver, shaped to look like a real head of garlic, is easily identifiable and keeps the head of garlic together, even if you use just a clove at a time.
$7.99 for 2 at Gourmac
Better Produce Bags
Right now, how many plastic bags in your refrigerator contain wilted produce? Next time, try Debbie Meyer Green Bags, which claim to absorb the natural gas produced by certain varieties of fruits and vegetables that cause rapid deterioration.
$9.95 for 10 large and 10 medium bags at DEBBIE MEYER Green Bags
Air Is The Enemy
The tiny Frisper saves space and claims to keep food fresher five times longer, which means you won’t be emptying the fridge into the garbage. There is economic savings, too: the bags can be resealed up to 10 times, and a one-year warranty protects your minimal investment.
$89.99 for FF-600 Starter Kit at Oliso
Fresher Fridge
Toss a Fridge Ball into the veggie drawer and keep produce fresh up to three weeks longer than without the sphere. The balls claims to use potassium to absorb gasses released by fruit and vegetables that cause spoiling.
$7.95 for 3 Fridge Balls and 3 Fridge Packs at As Seen On TV Guys
Avocado’s Other Half
If you like a little bit of avocado in your sandwiches or on a salad, but can’t eat one all at once, the Avo Saver is for you. It fits snugly around the unused half to keep the flesh from turning brown, making these expensive fruits last longer.
$5.99 at Amazon
Fresh Finds
Using the same gas zapping technology as many of the food savers on the market, the Always Fresh Containers claim to help prolong the life of your favorite fresh foods, and they are microwave and dishwasher safe for easy cleaning and storage.
$19.99 for a ten-piece set at Always Fresh Containers
MY THOUGHTS
