I have always just put them in my crisper drawer .. no problems that I could see ... - Good enough is good enough!! - twopeas1331936602.9871886 PostsRegistered 6/5/2011PNW Don't cut your lettuce with a knife unless you are going to make a salad right away with the cut lettuce. It causes the lettuce to go bad before it's time. I keep lettuce in a lettuce keeper. The other stuff I keep in the crisper. sunshine451331936898.05731441 PostsRegistered 1/13/2007east coast and west coast i store mine in green bags in one of the drawers in the refrigerator..... lock and lock containers also work well.

I bought this... K29491 Genius Air Plus Refrigerator Refresher & Deodorizer and I immediately noticed a huge difference in the freshness. I am thinking of getting another one to see if it will help even more. My frig s*cks even tho it is relatively new.

Hi, what are green bags and how do they work? Also, where do you get them? Thanks i usually get them either at the grocery store or bed, bath, and beyond... they are reusable also.... they work well at keeping produce fresher for longer periods of time: http://www.amazon.com/Debbie-Meyer-20317-Green-Bags/dp/B0011TMP3Y "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that it's difficult to determine whether or not they are genuine." ~ Abraham Lincoln lldaisy1331946453.267376 PostsRegistered 2/5/2011 On 3/16/2012 sunshine45 said: On 3/16/2012 lldaisy said: On 3/16/2012 sunshine45 said: i store mine in green bags in one of the drawers in the refrigerator..... lock and lock containers also work well.

Veggies...nothing special..just the crisper drawer. markswife1332017543.3131882 PostsRegistered 12/4/2007 On 3/16/2012 profrobb said: For lettuce, celery, and greens...wrap thoroughy in paper towels, then place in a grocery store free produce bag, wrap bag tightly, keep in veggie drawer until ready to use.

The key to using paper towels ,is to make sure if the towels get damp, to replace them with new ones. Thats how i store my GREEN things too!
