I was a vegetarian for two years and still eat a low-meat diet, so as you can imagine, I probably consume more fruits and vegetables than the average person. One of my biggest struggles was food waste until I stumbled upon the Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Savers.
These food storage containers are made with an innovative design that keeps food fresh for way longer--I’m talking weeks. Right now, an eight-piece set is on sale for $22.99--normally $33.99--on Amazon, which equals out to less than $6 per container. It includes four sizes that are ideal for storing a variety of foods.

What sets these containers apart from others is that they have a textured base and ventilated lid that holds produce away from moisture and regulates airflow. Moisture build-up and lack of air are two primary causes of produce spoiling after just a few days. Thankfully, this set is an affordable and easy solution that can be used again and again. I use the Rubbermaid containers for lettuce, broccoli, cut vegetables, berries, and more, and everything typically lasts 10 days, if not longer.
Although the produce savers are magical on their own, pairing them with a salad spinner has been life-changing given that it removes excess moisture before I even put the food into storage. If you don’t already have one, I suggest adding one to your cart along with these food containers.
I’m not the only person who swears by these food storage containers. The set has more than 3,000 5-star ratings from Amazon (AMZN) shoppers. One person said they “almost never have to throw out lettuce and spinach anymore.”
If you’ve been frustrated with tossing produce just days after purchasing it, these Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Savers might be your saving grace. The set is on sale, so what do you have to lose?
