I know most of us try to keep our waste low and do small things to help the environment, but household waste is still an issue. And one place we can start is in the kitchen and specifically in our fridges.
Nothing is worse than finding you didn’t eat your berries fast enough, or throw out veg because it’s gone bad. That’s why when Rubbermaid reached out to try out their new Rubbermaid® FreshWorks™ line, I jumped at the chance. There’s nothing worse than loading up during your weekly trip to the farmers market and then forgetting about all your goodies, only to find them languishing limply in your crisper drawer days later.
And let’s say it did not disappoint. It’s basically food storage, but with a specific purpose. I stored berries, vegetables I prepped for salads and even leftover lettuce. It kept them fresh for longer with their new vent that lets the O2 and CO2 flow in and out, so I didn’t worry about wasting food. And with a $3 coupon you can use towards your purchase, it’s a no brainer to pick one up!
Rubbermaid® FreshWorks™ Produce Saver built-in lid filter never needs to be replaced and will last a lifetime. Longer lasting produce means fewer trips to the grocery store, which is such a win-win for myself. Don’t get me wrong, I love grocery shopping, but I hate wasting money.
The new key features to note are that there’s a nifty green tray at the bottom that lets your produce stay dry. Nothing is worse than finding mold on the bottom of your berries. I’m also all about food storage that is BPA-Free and that I can clean in my dishwasher. I literally threw out any old food storage from our drawer that weren’t both. To me, they were a waste.

These are great tips. I knew for the tomatoes but not for the others. I don’t really waste food as i live on my own and buy in very small quantities anyway but these will still be useful!
Wasting money happens in my kitchen way to often. Thanks for the coupon!
These are some great tips! I am all for reducing good waste I think I need some of those tubs in my life they sound great!
I need this so bad. We do our shopping at the end of the week and we tend to forget what we bought. I trow away so much food because it just went bad.
