There was a segment on Good Morning America where they tested some of these items - they reported that the green bags didn't do anything.

I disagree with GMA. I use them all the time for about
2-3 years now. But I use them IN THE REFRIGERATOR. On
the counter, bananas. Have had much success with them and
have reordered several times for myself and friends.

I use them also(Debby's green bags). I have learned that everything you put them in needs to be dry. Let lettuce, carrots, bell pepper sit out until completely dry before putting them in bags. Haven't had much luck with celery, onions or potatoes. Can't say I am impressed with them. I don't think I will buy anymore.

I use them and like has been said the produce must be dry.
I've had pretty good luck with them, esp. lettuce and green peppers.

I bought some but don't like them. I don't like how they make bananas taste.

Both target and Walmart have them in our area. My DD uses them and I do when I think about it. Just on green stuff etc.

My bananas turned brown faster than if I left them out. My lemons went bad also. My lemons keep far longer just by storing them in the fridge in the bag they came in or rolling around in the crisper drawer.

My spring mix lettuce didn't fare much better either.

I thought they were a waste of money and a waste of my expensive produce.

Waste of money. Peppers always seemed to rot faster in them. Other stuff did not seem to make any difference at all. I'll never order them again.

Has anyone else noticed the odd odor coming out of the bags when you open the bag up to get out your produce? That turned me off, along w/the fact these bags didn't seem to help much.

I tried them with bananas and the peel stayed yellow with a tinge of green around the stem, but the inside was rotting. I do like the green bags for celery. It seemed to stay 'good' longer. Dottie

I use them. I get about a week longer with produce in the bag in the fridge then just putting the produce in the crisper for home use. At work we get about 10 days longer when we demo them. Some tips..don't wash your produce before putting them in the bags. Everything must be dry. If you see condensation inside take a paper towel and wipe it out. We find you can reuse them around 8 times. It says more on the box but that is what we have found at the store. (Wash in between using) The ones she makes for bread, cold cuts, and cheese wouldn't be worth the money for our family. We go through all of those pretty fast so rotting/molding isn't a problem. But the green produce bags do work. NancyLouise

We use them as well and I find that my produce lasts a substantially longer time using them. Apples, peppers, carrots, brocolli, cukes, even the salad mixes. Some things are lasting 2 weeks longer. But as those that like them say, the produce and the bag must be dry.

I bought them at Big Lots for a discounted price. I am not impressed with them. I didn't see that they made things last any longer. I won't buy them anymore.

Some of my stuff stays better in the green bags and some don't. I watched someone demo these bags on tv and she told them to not close the tops of the bags, just to fold them over or leave them open. That's what I do now.

I had the same experience as dotmom with bananas. Recently someone on another board said to just use the thin clear bags provided in the store for fruits/vegetables. She said to put them in the bags one or two at a time and squeeze out as much air as possible, twist in between, then twistie the bag. This is the second time I've tried it, and it seems to be working. The insides are not getting mushy. This is the 8th day for the bunch I got this time, and not a rotten one yet. I'll have to give it a few more tries though before I'm completely convinced.
