I often times find myself in my refrigerator throwing out fruits or vegetables my family didn’t get to in time. It’s so annoying to throw this food away! I found some great information from Family Frugal Fun about the shelf life of fruits and vegetables and wanted to share with you! Tis the season for farmers markets! Now our produce will last!
