IKEA 365+ Food Saver

One of the worst things about living alone is that it's almost impossible to eat all the food you buy. I buy tiny quarts of milk and don't finish them. Little jars of spaghetti sauce get mold spores. Unless you eat toast every day for a month, it's difficult to finish a loaf of bread.

I freeze things but lots of food ends up with freezer burn because it's been packed away too long.

Lettuce is a killer. Eating an entire head of lettuce is almost impossible. Salads everyday is too much to ask of anyone.

About a year ago I bought an Ikea food saver. Some show on HGTV discussed Tupperware food savers but Tupperware is often difficult to find and expensive. Finding a way to keep lettuce fresh for weeks, however, was worth any effort. Ikea to the rescue.

My $10 Ikea 365+ Food Saver keeps lettuce fresh for up to a month. It is truly amazing. Lettuce stays crispy and green. No more wasting money on lettuce that I can't finish.
