This could be the hack for you. In the end, it could at least save you some cash. How many times have you purchased produce that goes bad before you eat it?

The drier your produce is, will keep fresher longer. Without the paper towels, the moisture gets trapped in the drawer, which leads to sad, brown, bad veggies. Of course, you have to remember when rotating your vegetables, you must change out the paper towels, too.
