Does anyone use the Mrs Meyer green boxes for veggies?

And do they really work to keep them fresh longer?

I have been wanting to get some OR some of what Walmart is selling.

I tried them some years ago, but I wasn't impressed.

I've used her bags for years - believe the box style came out later.

Bags and Lock n Lock are great for vegetables - lettuce even stays fresher better longer in L-n-L.....as well as asparagus - celery too. 

In L_N_L the long style has a plastic insert in the bottom that holds the veggies up out of the collected moisture - water.

I've been using her bags for many years!

I got hooked on them when Q sold them and when they stopped selling them, I got big sets at BB&B.

They work really well, IMO!

I use the bags and boxes.  I bought the original set of boxes many many years ago but gave them away and used only the bags.  Then I purchased another set of boxes about 2-3 years ago and they are FABULOUS.  Lettuce stays the freshest in the boxes as do other vegetables.

@fthunt, @KingstonsMom  et al.

Those of you who use the bags, how do you seal/close the bags or do you leave the bag open when storing food in the fridge?  I saw nothing in the directions on use about this. 

I'm thinking of purchashing the bags for romain lettuce.

TIA

You wrap the bag loosely around the produce/fruit, no need to twist tightly (no twist tie, etc.).

After the bag is used, turn inside out and rinse with cold water, then hang to dry.

They're reusable many times.

Strange that is not mentioned in the desscription.  Maybe I missed it.  I'm purchasing from BBB.  Gotta get my 20% off.

Last yr or so QVC was selling something that David was demonstrating that you put in your fridge  that  ran on batteries ?  that  helped  keep your produce fresh . It sold out before I decided to  try one.

Did anyone buy the  item and did it work ? I do not remember the name  or item #

Thank you for all of the replies! Still not sure if I will buy any at this time
