Savings Tip:
When buying bagged greens, such as salad or spinach, look for bags that are flatter. The greens that are in poofy bags aren’t as fresh. When the bag is poofy it means that the greens have had time to release gasses, which causes the bag to poof. Next time you are at the store check it out, the bags about to expire will be poofy..
