Debbie Meyer Green Bags: Save Money on Produce and Keep it Fresh

I have a confession. I stopped buying fresh produce for a quite a while and switched to frozen. I prefer to go grocery shopping once every two weeks, on payday, but unfortunately, my produce wasn't lasting that long. Luckily, I saw advertisements for Debbie Meyer's Green Bags on TV. It claimed that these bags would preserve my fruits and vegetables, keeping them fresher longer.

The commercial explained that produce releases Ethylene Gas as it ripens after being harvest, but this gas accelerates aging and rotting. Debbie Meyer Green Bags supposedly contain a natural Oya mineral form of Zeolite that absorbs and neutralizes the Ethylene Gas. This delays rotting, keeping the food fresh for a longer time. They also prevent moisture and mold by controlling humidity, block UV light, and are reusable. Sign me up!

I called the number and reached an automatic recording. I agreed to receive 20 bags for $9.95. But wait! If I just pay additional shipping and handling, I could have another set for free. Well, how could I refuse? I had to be asked about other promotional offers and refuse them 2-3 times each before my order was processed, but finally I was done and just had to sit back and wait.

A few days later I noticed that $38 had been charged to my card, rather than the approximate amount that I should have been charged. I called in to ask about it and was reminded politely that I had to pay shipping on both. That didn't add up, because $10 plus two shipping fees of $7 each amounted to $24 plus tax. It turned out I had been charged for the extra bags. The nice lady explained that, since they had already shipped, all she could do was credit me for half of the cost of the extra bags. I didn't remember until afterwards that I was meant to get that second set for free, but I didn't bother calling back.

The bags arrived much sooner than I expected, about two weeks later. I was eager to try them. The first time I went grocery shopping, I bagged all of my produce in the Green Bags except my bananas which I'd heard wouldn't benefit in the Green Bags. Most of my produce had been withering within about ten days of purchase, but at eleven days after being purchased, all of my vegetables still look as fresh as the day I bought them! I am amazed!

Already I have saved money on produce. Now I am able to feed my family fresh food without having to buy it frozen. I no longer have to throw away produce that wasn't cooked in time. I can reuse my bags up to 8 times after rinsing, and I can even use them on fresh flowers. Even with the mix-up about the cost, they were well worth the money spent. I would recommend Debbie Meyer Green Bags to anyone, because they really do work!
