The Things I Love... Part 1 (not that I plan on keeping count)

Before you all get offended, I said THINGS, not people.  I love EVERYONE!  (hah!)

At the request of one "Jessica Rabbit", I will not go on a rant, but rather I will give you my opinion about some of my favorite items.

The first one I acquired maybe a year ago and I have no idea how.  Suddenly, I receive a giant box in the mail with my name on it. Not one to be afraid of anthrax, I tore into it.  To my surprise and delight, I had an entire set of Debbie Meyer Green Boxes and Bags.  Now, an entire set.  One might thing, "Eh, just a few".  Nope.  I got about 50 bags and about 10 Tupperware-like containers.  FREE!!!!!  From one of the home shopping channels.   My complete and utter lack of cabinet space did not come into play until later.....

Now, I HAVE ordered from them in the past.  The likelihood of them gifting one of their favorite customers was out of the question.  My playing one of their foolish online games?  Sounds more like it.  Damn if I remember winning anything though.  As one can imagine, my husband was absolutely TICKLED with the idea of me bringing more crap into the house.  I was sure to point out repeatedly: : "But I didn't spend any money!!!"  *insert big dopey grin*  (this can be seen to the right------>)

These things are amazing and freakish all at the same time. I am a serious skeptic of things like this and figured I'd just have more containers for leftovers. No way. I put some strawberries in one and let me just say, no produce should EVER last this long.  It is just downright bizarre.  However, they are an amazing money saver!  (especially when they are FREE!)

Anyone knows you can buy a pallet of strawberries at BJ's or Costco, right?  Anyone who has done this likely has 42 kids to eat them, or ended up throwing some away. WEEKS.  That is how long my first batch of strawberries lasted.  I'm not kidding.  Almost 3 weeks before they STARTED looking like they were going the way of the bin. In my head, they should have been rotten long ago, so sure enough, any time I was giving one to my daughter, I was eating one first to make sure they were ok.  Perfect! 

The bags were equally amazing.  Throw a few tomatoes in them and they last WAY longer. Grapes??  No problem!  I'm telling you, I don't know how much they retail for (did I mention they were FREE!?) but they are worth the purchase. (Especially when they are free!)

I just went to her site and saw the "Kak-Kut'r" or whatever the heck it's called. Forgot I got 2 of those, too. FOR FREE! :) They're fun! And the product picture reminded me I have corn on the cob last for weeks also.  Works out wonderfully when the supermarkets have it on sale:  12 for $3  Too bad you have to buy 12?  Not anymore!

After seeing the prices, WOW did I get a bargain! *winkwinknudgenudge* (I think you see where I was going)

I really intended on writing about a few things, but MAN....now all I can think about is that amazing Debbie Meyer.  I bet she's hot.
