I use the FridgeSmart containers from Tupperware. They’re expensive (in Canada anyhow) but they’ve been well worth the investment. I can make most greens last a minimum of 2 weeks in these containers. I’ve got some greens right now that are 3 weeks old, and they are still as fresh as the day I got them. I’ve saved a lot of money and have a lot less waste. The link below is to the Canadian Tupperware, but I’m sure they’re probably available in the US too.

Wow! They are expensive! How are they different that they work so well? Do you just put the greens in with no prep?
I've been using the plastic containers from the grocery store, like the ones spring mix come in. I put a layer of paper towel, then a layer of greens, then paper towel, ...I make a multi-layered pile and then cover, with holes in the plastic lid. I can usually get 8-10 days, depending on what plant it is. Mustard always goes bad fast. Endive does good.
If stuff really lasts for 2 weeks, it would be worth the price.
The containers have a vent on the lid that can be adjusted to 3 different settings. The front of the container has a chart that shows what setting it should be on depending on what type of fruit or vegetables you have in the container. I don’t do any prep. Literally from the store or the ground and into the containers. I have found if I wash things thoroughly and cut them up, they don’t last quite as long. So I leave everything whole and clean what I need, at the time I need it. These containers have made a huge difference. Being where I am in Canada I have to rely a lot on store bought food, so having the containers makes it easier for me to offer variety by buying a lot of different things, because I can make it all last so long. I’ve tried the fresh bags, green bags, the little “puck“ you put in your crisper to help keep things fresh and every other thing possible. Nothing compares to these containers.Wow!

Also his eyes are finally down...just a little white and some dryness! Just finished soaking the baby and put on his antibiotics!
I think his nose supposed to be less puffy and maybe see his nostrils correct??
That’s exactly how coco looks like actually!! ???View attachment 317857
Kind of like the picture above - found from Google search (slightly red is normal I guess?)
It’s all good then! ?That’s exactly how coco looks like actually!! ???
I'm in Canada too, but I decided to invest in a Vitamix. ? Now I make green smoothies everyday and try to make the whole family be as healthy as my RT.The containers have a vent on the lid that can be adjusted to 3 different settings.

With mine, I think it’s just one-sided love but I try not to let that dampen my spirits!?I need to create a gallery of coco ???
I was reading on how tortoises don’t necessarily have feelings but they know if their owners love him! He’ll react differently like walking towards you when you get home or want to get petted on their heads or shell!
Does this really happen with you guys torts? Cause I have noticed coco wanting his antibiotics a couple times at one point haha!! He has also walked on my hand on his own like “hold me please?” ??
Coco also loves it when I feed him from my hand from time to time! He is a fisty eater lol ??
Wait are you talking about these greenish bags that seem to be made out of different material??Freshness in the fridge is all about airflow and moisture. Surprisingly, greens and such keep much better when they are kept cold and dry. Most fruit and veg does in fact. The tupperwares just have a vent on the lid that allows you to control the airflow. In the UK we can get "freshbags" that do the same thing basically, they are highly porous plastic bags that allow a lot of air flow through them. It is amazing how effective they are.
What I do with store bought salad is open all the bags and stand them upright when they go in the crisper drawer. It makes it easy to pick out his food each day but it also keeps everything dry and fresh a lot longer.
Man..I need to invest in the containers! But I just pray I can find them cheaper ??The containers have a vent on the lid that can be adjusted to 3 different settings.
