I recently found myself on a weekly grocery shopping trip where they were having a great sale on produce and I just knew I had to take advantage. Instead of heading home and feeling overwhelmed with what to do with all that produce, I placed all of it in my FreshWorks Produce Saver!

There is even a CrispTrayTM at the bottom of the container, this elevates your produce in order to keep it away from moisture. The tray also helps to promote proper airflow which will help prevent spoilage.

As someone that puts much effort into finding ways to be more frugal, there is nothing worse than throwing away food… it’s like tossing my money in the trash. Discovering that my  produce has spoiled after just a few days and leaving me no choice but to throw it away is very frustrating. Did you know that  Americans waste $24 billion worth of produce every year, which is the equivalent of $192 per household?** Thankfully FreshWorks can help all of us in extending the life of my produce, so our family can eat it before it goes to waste!

Using the FreshWorks Produce Saver is incredibly simple, just move your produce directly from the store packaging and into the FreshWorks containers. This will maintain your produce freshness for up to 80% longer. The lid filter lasts a lifetime, so there is no need for replacements. The containers are microwave and top shelf dishwasher safe and BPA-free.

Available in three sizes to hold all types of produce:

  1. love to keep fresh fruit ready to eat, right how it would be filled with strawberries and blueberries.

  2. Oh I would use them for fruits and vegetables from our container garden we do in the summer! We always do strawberries, blueberries, peas, and cherry tomatoes!

  3. I love all kinds of fresh greens, this would be an awesome contest to win, also love real tomatoes as soon as they are ready at the farmers market!

  4. Fresh and healthy food – this is what I love! I have always been an fitness freak and I was eating healthy, but I didn’t find much joy in cooking overall. After I found your blog it has changed, I’m very eager to follow all your recipes and eat something that was prepared by myself – it’s a huge satisfaction!
