Farmers Market Fresh

Summer - woo hoo  - for real this time, I hope. 

Going to the beach in March was fantastic.  Hauling out winter coats in April until about a week ago, fail.  Ugh - dang Mother Nature.

Our Farmers Market is open and exploding with fresh produce - just what we have all been craving.

Did you know, the average family throws away over $500 in produce a year?

Seriously, that is a lot of wasted money and food.  Not to mention the frustration when you go for food you know you have only to find it covered in green fur and inedible?   

In preparing for this post, I brought out all of my FridgeSmart and was delighted to see I used nearly every piece.

However, the green beans stayed in the bag over-night.  Now I know that is a big no-no in Tupper-land but I took the lazy route and in the morning I found -

my own science experiment starting.  These beans looked fine at the store and within 24 hours they started to mold.  Nasty, to say the least.

So I kicked myself, hard, fell to the floor, got back up and did it all again (just for good measure) and then I pitched these bad boys as fast as possible.

Rule of (green) thumb?  Bring your produce home and immediately put it in to your Fridgesmart:
1. Naked - don't cut or tear the produce
2. Dirty- don't wash the produce until ready to use

That is right, you heard me - no excuses for molding beans. 

Bring it home and toss it right in to Fridgesmart.  The guide on the side of the container lets you know how much air the food needs so NO more spoiled food.

Can you imagine - spending $84 on a full set of FridgeSmart that will give you a return of $500 a year?  Let's see a CD or Savings Account do that.  hmmmm, that is what I thought. 

Eat healthy and save money - an awesome combination.
