Title: Green Bags
Post by: Roy Bham UK on February 07, 2006, 18:47:12
Anyone use them? I saw them on QVC this afternoon, apparently you can store your fruit and vegetables in them for up to 10 times longer  :o  see link. http://www.qvcuk.com/ukgasp/frameset.asp?nest=%2Fukgasp%2FIsItemNumberRedirect.asp&country=uk&txtDesc=debbie+meyers+green+bags

•  Saves you money by wasting less food
•  Each bag is reusable up to 8 times
•  Fruits & vegetables stay fresh 3 to 10 times longer
•  Reduces vitamin loss by up to 50%
•  Active ingredient is a natural mineral
•  Produced in a state-of-art facility, under clean room conditions

I’m thinking of ordering 50 from this site in America just so I can save an extra £4.25 silly isn’t it? All those miles away and cheaper than UK. ::) ;D

Amazing isn't it? but so true.
When ever we come to the UK for a visit, we always make sure we buy the necessities like toiletries etc..here in Canada.
Having lived almost 30 yrs over here. I can't believe the over-inflated prices for most things in the UK?
;D ;D ;D ;D

It's appalling; I don't dare compare prices with friends in the US.

It's awful but true that one horrible wake up call to the price differences comes at Christmas via customs forms price declarations - look what US friends can send you compared to what we can send them for twice the price!

And I have to endure the pain again with the Aussie rellies!

Prices in the UK are HEINOUS!!! Welcome to rip-off land!

Just an update really, I ordered the “green stay fresh longer bags” from the USA 9th Feb and received them last Thursday 16th, :o  how about that for a speedy delivery. ;)
I’ve not yet tried them out but will let you know if they work well or not. ;D
