1. A dehydrator to preserve leftover produce even longer so you can enjoy them as dried fruit, chips, or even jerky.
2. This handy compost bin to collect your food scraps so you can later toss them in your composter and create nutrient-rich compost you can then use for your soil. This thing ensures the odor from the food doesn't circulate around your kitchen.
3. A pasta measuring tool so you'll always cook just as much pasta as you actually need β no more, no less, and no spooning the leftover serving you didn't eat into the trash. The graduated holes have markings on the sides so you can accurately measuring up to four serving sizes.
4. This cheese keeper because it'll allow both hard and soft cheeses to breathe (and not dry out) so it's just as delicious as the day you bought it for much longer.
5. A pack of reusable vacuum zipper bags and a cordless food sealer to help your meats and cheese prolong their freshness for weeks instead of mere days by creating a vacuum-tight seal around them. In other words, you can stop tossing your cheese after a couple of days because it suddenly doesn't taste right.
6. This flip top you attach to your bottles to make sure you actually get EVERY. LAST. DROP and never throw away those little remains ever again.
7. A guac-lock container because guacamole tends to get icky after about two days, but this guy'll keep the guac you spent time and money making oh-so fresh for longer.
8. This salad spinner that'll get all the moisture out of your lettuce so your greens don't go bad immediately after you open them. Thus, you won't have to pile a ton of your homemade salad onto your plate in an attempt to eat it all before it starts getting gross (only to end up throwing half your plate away when you get full).
9. A wine saver with two vacuum stoppers to reseal bottles of vino for the times when it's not a good idea to finish the whole thing by yourself in one night.
10. This lemon saver so you can use the first half of a lemon today and come back a week later and still have the second half all fresh and waiting too be used. No more ~sour~ feelings when you have to throw out part of your lemon because you weren't able to use it in time!
11. A ColorGo Chip Bag Sealer that uses heat to create an airtight seal on all your opened chips, crackers, freezer food bags, and more. Gone are the days of returning to your improperly sealed bag of crackers only to find that they've gone totally stale overnight.
12. This brown sugar-softening bear you soak in water for 20 minutes and then place in your brown sugar to ensure that it stays moist and ready to use for three to six months. It's basically a wayyyy better alternative than just tossing your brown sugar altogether because it's just become too hard for you to use in any recipe.
13. A set of avocado-savers if you need something that actually works to extend the life of your precious (expensive) avocados for an extra day or two.
14. This vacuum sealer perfect for anyone who likes buying in bulk, so you can seal and freeze ingredients for years (literally). You won't have to worry about having to eat all your grocery items in a week and a half, lest they all go bad and force you to throw them out.
15. A BluApple produce saver that'll absorb naturally occurring ethylene gas and help your veggies stay crisp for as long as possible. No more reaching your hand in the produce drawer only to pull out gross, slimy spinach.
16. This airtight case so your butter won't absorb any unpleasant fridge odors or go hard, thus forcing you to throw it away and spend more money on a new pack. You can even leave the butter out at room temperature and it'll stay fresh for a couple of weeks (provided that the room isn't too warm).
17. A fresh herb keeper that makes store-bought or freshly-cut herbs last for up to 10 days longer than they would have otherwise. Totally fine for you to buy that rosemary for tonight's dinner and take your time to figure out what *else* you're going to do with it (before it starts going brown).
18. A personal blender so you can put all that overripe produce to good use in a nutrient-packed smoothie! Finding another way to use the same food items is a great way to make sure you aren't wasting anything, even if they're nearing their life span.
19. These silicone Food Huggers that'll wrap your cut produce in an airtight hug β thus, prolonging their freshness β in ways that plastic wrap never could even dream about.
20. This easy-to-use iced coffee maker so you can transform regular old ground coffee into delicious cold brew overnight. Promise yourself you won't buy any other coffee drinks until you've used up the bag of coffee you bought a few weeks ago and only drank once.
21. An airtight powdered/confectioner's sugar container because you may not bake or whip up frostings and glazes often, but when you do, you'll want to use powdered sugar that still looks and tastes fresh (and not hard, clumped-up, and stale).
22. A ventilated, expandable bread keeper so you can store your loaf and enjoy it for longer before it starts growing mold, which BTW, you should NEVER try to eat even if the mold is only on a small corner of a slice.
23. These produce-saving containers that regulate the flow of carbon dioxide so your lettuce, spinach, strawberries, and other prized produce can look just as fresh as the day you bought it. AKA, you won't have to toss your salad ingredients after just a few days.
24. Or these clear storage containers because they're basically a window into the fruits and veggies you still have to eat (so you don't forget about 'em). Just slice up your favorites, store them in these containers in your fridge, and help yourself as needed!
25. And an Aerogarden to help you grow fresh produce in just a month or two and only pick what you actually need to use right away.
