RE: Saving The Bagged Salad

In answer to homesteaddreamer asking if white flour sack T-towels would work: I would imagine that almost anything that is thin, absorbent, and food safe would work.

If you try using them, let us know how they work out. :-)

That's simple and cheap! I needed a solution other than throwing it out when it starts to turn brown. It becomes a big waste of money to buy salad.

That's a great tip however I don't use paper towels. Do you think the plain white flour sack T-towels would work? I often use them in place of paper towels. Thanks!!

RE: Saving The Bagged Salad

I have to add one more little thing: When the paper towel gets damp (it will,) take it out and replace it with a dry one (or two.)
And btw, thanks for the hint about the mushrooms. I'll add a paper towel to the next package of mushrooms I buy!

RE: Saving The Bagged Salad

I do that with the bagged salad and I also wrap my lettuce with a paper towel for the same reason. I put paper towels in with the mushrooms, too.

Actually, I use TWO paper towels....one on each side. When using, make sure you dig at bottom of bag to get out the smaller pieces that usually 'turn' first.

RE: Office Storage Containers

This is a great idea - liquor store boxes or "book" size boxes from movers are a good size to fit on bookshelves.
