Keep Lettuce Crispy for Up to '12 Days' With This Deal on Rubbermaid Produce Savers

Eating a balanced diet filled with fresh fruit and organic vegetables is important to me. That said, it’s not always easy to accommodate. While I sincerely believe that very few processed foods can compete with an overripe Hachiya persimmon or a creamy, buttery avocado at its peak, I recognize that their presence in my home comes at a cost — to my wallet and my sanity. The reality is that if I don’t devour my newly purchased fruits and vegetables within seconds upon returning from the grocery store, I’ll spend an inordinate amount of time obsessing over when they’re likely to spoil.  

Until now. To stave off the eventual rot and prolong the life of my produce, I’ve finally decided to invest in products designed to make my food last. And like a lot of Amazon customers, I have my eye on Rubbermaid’s wildly popular line of FreshWorks food storage containers. Not only do they come recommended by more than 8,300 Amazon shoppers, they’re also 42% off for a limited time.

Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver Set 

Included in the set are four containers in a mix of sizes and shapes. While one is better suited to holding blueberries, another can keep a whole head of iceberg lettuce fresh, a third can store bell peppers, and the last is a great fit for Persian cucumbers. (Of course, they can store different fruits and veggies, too.) Regardless of size, they all have a filter to regulate the flow of oxygen and an elevated base to wick away moisture from unwashed and uncut produce.

It’s a design that thousands of Amazon shoppers swear by. While one reviewer wrote that their Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver Set “probably adds about seven days” of life to their fruits and vegetables, another commented that their “romaine lettuce from 12 days ago is still crisp” thanks to the receptacles. Comments continue heaping on the praise with the overwhelming consensus being that these containers “keep produce fresh” and “eliminate so much waste.”   

I have enough to worry about when cooking for the holidays without adding spoiled produce to the list. I’ll have no time to deal with moldy raspberries, wilted lettuce, or slimy cucumbers — and with the Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver Set available to me, I won’t have to.
