“I am on a fixed income & this little book has saved me time & money! Anyone who buys produce needs to own this.
Ms Gittleman has stored tons of love & great tips in this book that’ll teach you how to make the produce we buy last longer & therefore save everyone money!
It also doesn’t hurt to know we’re eating healthier & throwing away less food because of our lack of knowledge of how to store items.
Please buy this book! There’s no way you’ll regret it & you will offset the tiny price of the book with the money you’ll get back by not throwing away the precious items we buy to feed ourselves & our families!”

“Shari wrote a very helpful guide to learn how to choose and store fruit. Learn which should be kept on the countertop or in the refrigerator.
Which can be kept together or need to be separated. Which won’t ripen after harvested or which ones will. Which will smell delicious. Which will make a thump when tapped.
I recommend Shari’s book to learn all the tips and tricks to help you spend your money wisely and never waste produce again. I hope you find amazing fruit to enjoy!”

“This Pocket guide was so useful for me! I never knew and was never taught how to look for produce ant the store, let alone store it.

I will keep this with me at all times, in my purse and in my kitchen and I will never waste produce again! I’m so pumped! Shari has taught me so much! She’s so passionate and educated! Go get this guide, it will change everything!”
