Bags that preserve food in fridge

Someone has recommended bags from Lakeland that you can put fruit or veg in and it keeps for ages in the fridge.
Snag.....bags cost about £4 and then another nearly £4 for postage.
Don't live anywhere near a Lakeland store so does anyone know if any of the supermarkets stock similar?

Yes of course they do, and they're free.

These bags are supposed to be really good, not used them myself personally, but been told by someone else:beer:givememoney wrote: »Someone has recommended bags from Lakeland that you can put fruit or veg in and it keeps for ages in the fridge.

I was sceptical about them at first, but these bags do work really well. I used them a lot when I lived up a glen with no transport & shopping trips were few & far between
I've never seen them in shops though
have you any friends who might club together with you & split the postage costs? (or even qualify for free delivery)0 -
I had some as a freeby with an order from Lakeland once. I wouldn't go and buy them, but they were quite good. I re used them of course, but still wouldn't pay that much for plastic bags[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

I've used them and they are excellent! They are definitely worth the money, especially when it's possible to wipe them out and reuse them several times.

givememoney, I could buy & post them to you at cost price, but don't know if it'd be any different! Depends how they come.

I use them all the time - I got two packs about three years ago and they're still going strong. I wash them out really well in soapy water every time and they really do keep veg fresh for a lot longer - I think they've got ground up stone in or something. They aren't the same at all as the supermarket freebies!

I have used these and they are great. With regard to the high postage cost, i had a think about it and relised by the time I drove to my nearest Lakeland (30 odd miles away). Paid for fuel and parking I was probally better off just paying the postage. Plus it stops me being able to pick up loads more stuff in the shop and others surrounding it too. By using Lakeland online i actually save money in the long run. I can add things to my basket, review how much im spending and then delete the things that are more a "I want" than I need.0

Must admit I like the Lakeland ones.
I've seen something similar in Tesco, if you've got one a bit nearer to you....

That's really nice of you, but as you say it could work out the same, or even worse if you didn't put enough postage on.
I have just spent £1.24 on a Christmas card that didn't have a stamp on it. Trouble was I didn't know if the letter I hadn't received was something important, had I known it was just a card I wouldn't have bothered.0
