Mason jar stock should be going up, I've bought so many jars lately after watching you. Ive been putting my peppers, strawberries, and grapes, also pantry drygoods in jars for several weeks, now you've convenienced me to store my herbs and veggies. I know the point is to save our products which will save us money, but I'm loving how neat and tidy it makes everything look and no more gunk in my refrig drawers from produce going bad. Thank you for your tips and tricks.

[@r.e.williams195]

Hello Mrs. Megan, I lucked up on your video today and noticed I have the same issue wasting fruits and veggies from taking too long to eat them. I've only been putting my rice and flour in jars and I put my lettuce & spinach in a freezer bag with paper towels at the bottom to absorb any moisture. But before I close the bag I smash all the air out of the bag then I seal it close. It really works, I t preserves my leafy veggies & fruits for a long time. But I never thought about using jars for my fruit & veggies, that'll look really neat and would be easier for the kids to take out and close it back. Even though, it would take up alot of room in my refrigerator. So what do you do with bags of onions, because I slice & dice them then store them in freezer bags then freeze. The bulb last in the refrigerator for a while until they start to grow sprouts. Do you have a better remedy? Also what is your remedy for potatoes? They tend to go bad to after sitting out. I have tried boiling, mashing, and then freezing them also to keep from those going bad. Then I pull the bag out later and make mashed potatoes, but I don't want mashed potatoes all the time. What do you do with potatoes? Should I not buy until I'm ready to eat them? That's for your ideas and sorry for such a long text.

[@r.e.williams195]

*thanks for your ideas.

[@ashlieghervin148]

I have been on a jar frenzy since you started your jar journey! Your sliced peppers in the beginning sold me! I’m glad I’m not the only one with 3 week old blueberries in the fridge! I have had success with apples in a jar, but I found a product by Ball called Fruit Fresh (its by the jars) and our sliced apples last at least a week in a jar that way! Maybe longer, but my girls devour them!

[@Thegrocerylady]

Oh wow. I’ll have to look into that one. I’m glad the jars are working for you. I don’t think I even need to go grocery shopping this week other than for some milk because all my fresh food is lasting so long.

[@wonderingsanna]

Hi! If you take your sliced apples and dip them in water with a bit of lemonjuice in they will stay fresh and not brown for long. I think that is more healthy than "Fruit fresh", if you read the ingredience list on that.

[@lisas4453]

It's amazing that I remember back in the 60s, 70s and 80s when tons of things were in glass bottles and not tin containers...even sodas which makes a HUGE difference (my dad worked for COKE and we had pallets and pallets of these in our garage)...oh the 70s...anyways it made a HUGE difference but everything went on the cheap and we have wasted more food as a nation than ever in our history....YEAH JARS!!! QUESTION....can you combine herbs...like hard herbs with hard herbs and soft with soft????? just subscribed!!! are these all stored in the refrigerator??? wonder if this would work with cold cuts, etc??

Hi which fruits and vegetables should b washed ahead of time an which should not an which should b stored in airtight container an which should b stored in fridge

[@kayshelton2132]

Came here from Our Tribe of Many Channel. Subscribed!

[@chris...9497]

Buy ground dried rosemary. I personally don't like eating evergreen leaves; they have the texture of sticks. And I once had to take my 7yr-old to the ER to have a doctor take tweezers to pluck a piece of dried rosemary out of my son's esophagus that got caught while eating a slice of pizza. Seriously. But dried ground rosemary is a fine powder with a whole lot of enduring flavor. And I like rubbing it into poultry or blending it into biscuit dough before placing into an oven. And it's wonderful mixed into from-scratch or instant mashed potatoes. Buy ground dried rosemary. Broccoli/Cauliflower: make creamed soups. Cut, rinse, cook in the microwave until softish (the MW steams it just from the rinsewater left on them). Throw into the blender still hot, cover with veg/chicken stock/broth. Puree. Add OPTIONAL butter/cream/milk if you like. Add salt, pepper, and/or spices as you prefer. Now it's ready to eat. YUM! Broccoli and cauliflower don't last in my house, and I live alone. I have these unused thermos-style drinking cups (sports bottles) that I was going to donate at the thrift store, but now I use them to hold my green onions and tall fresh herbs; they're the perfect size for storing in the fridge door, where they remind me to change out the water every day or two. No tomatoes. Fresh tomatoes lose texture and flavor when refrigerated; leave them on the counter. Only refrigerate them if they are cooked or canned or dried or stored in oil. Note on reusing jars: Mason jars are special-made to handle changes in temperature. Most commercial jars are thinner and/or weaker glass and DON'T handle temperature changes well. DO NOT USE THEM for microwaving, heating in water, or freezing, because you are chancing them breaking. The only food company that uses actual mason jars (and a specifically robust version of mason jars) are Classico, makers of pasta sauces and pizza sauce. Non-Mason jars are fine for simple countertop and fridge storage, but NOT for temperature extremes. Store safely!

Hi Meghan! I do something different with some of my food items. Spring onions like you do, it works for sellery stalks and asparagus to. I put them in a jar a mug or a vase with a tiny amount of water in the bottom, but with no lid on. Herbs I do the same with I just have a little more water in the container. This makes my fridge smell soooo nice. For cut up salad, spinage, kale, arugula etc, those often come in a bag or clam shell that is not good for presrving. I have better plasticbags, thick ones with zip lock and I put the salad in them and ad a paper napkin (to soak up moist). I shake and turn the bags every day and the salad stays fresh and lasts a looooong time. Halfed tomatos I put with cut side down in a small bowl if I know I am going to use it the day after. It works with two days to tho we use tomatos every day so....
