Advantages: Keeps your bananas fresh for longer; Attractive colour

Disadvantages: Takes up quite a bit of room in the fridge

My mum got this Banana Bag in a secret santa last year and we've used it ever since because even though we don't eat many bananas in our house we always buy them for my 2 year old sister who loves them. The problem was that to buy 2 bananas loose for her cost nearly as much as a bag of 5 or 6 in the supermarket so mum would always buy the bag and end up throwing at least 2 from each bag away if my sister didn't want a banana for a few days.

The Banana Bag says that if you put your bananas in the bag, tie it up and put them in the fridge it will keep the fruit fresh for over a week. It works too, I can't believe it but it does work!

I'll use this week as a perfect example because we ended up with 10 bananas last Saturday because me and my mum both brought some without realising. My sister has eaten 6 since and the other 4 are still in the same condition as when they were put in the fridge a week earlier.

The bag takes a bit of room up in the fridge but that's ok because we've got a big fridge but I reckon anyone with a small one would find it a pain because the bag takes up at least half a shelf and more sometimes if the bananas are extra big or haven't got much of a bend to them.

The only problem I think and it's not really a problem is that the skins of the bananas can go a bit dusty looking if they've been in the Banana Bag for a week. This doesn't affect the banana at all and the inside of them is exactly the same as if you'd picked up the banana fresh in the supermarket.

The Banana Bag is about £5.00 from Lakeland and that's a bargain because I reckon since last Xmas it's saved our house loads more money than that because we haven't had to throw as many bananas away and that's a good thing with the price of fruit at the minute.
