Are you bugged by the short length of time it takes for fresh produce to go bad? I try to keep fruit and vegetables available for salads and snacks but after 2 days in the fridge most things lose taste and texture. Lettuce gets limp and apples become tasteless.
My solution is to buy no more than I'll eat in 2 days which leads to extended periods where the fruit drawer is empty because grocery shopping happens about once every 3 weeks. I should go shopping more often but with all the other things competing for time the 3 week interval is just about right.
I can count the things I've bought based on infomercials on one finger but the ad for green bags offered a solution to a long standing problem and I decided, "What the hell, I'll roll the dice for $10." My opinion - these things work. Baby carrots keep for a week and they're neither dry or slimy. Lettuce isn't limp and bananas take longer to get black spots. Try them for yourselves. Let me know what you think.

Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else.
J.M. Barrie
What's not possible is not to choose
Jean-Paul Sartre
Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much . . . the wheel, New York, wars, and so on, whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely the dolphins believed themselves to be more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons.
Douglas Adams (1952-2001), THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY
I saw him even now going the way of all flesh, that is to say towards the kitchen.
John Webster (1580-1625)
When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her?
Michel de Montaigne (1533-92)
"Business!" cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. "Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!"
Charles Dickens (1812-1870)
