These Produce-Saving Containers Are All Under $30 at Walmart

It’s time for a snack or maybe to start prepping for dinner. You go to the fridge and reach for the ingredients that are central to your plan. Lo and behold, your produce is far past its prime — and you’re shocked because it feels like you just bought it. Sound familiar? It’s OK, we’ve all been there. This is why we started looking for high-quality, budget-friendly tools to help extend the lives of our beloved blueberries, raspberries, kale, broccoli, and more.

Foods have different requirements for reaching maximum longevity — some need to stay dry and sealed, while others thrive with a bit of oxygen. Luckily, great produce storage containers employ unique methods of keeping things fresh. Some have helpful colanders inside to make rinsing easier; others have elevated platforms so your produce won’t sit in any liquid. Luckily, our favorite produce storage container options at Walmart are on sale for under $30, from a set of vented Rubbermaid containers that shoppers say keep veggies fresh for weeks and weeks to a stand-alone $10 container with a built-in colander. These are our favorite under-$30 finds that keep things fresh in the refrigerator.

Best produce storage containers at Walmart under $30

Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver, 6-Piece Set

This set of three containers — small, medium, and large — features Rubbermaid’s FreshVent technology, which lets you regulate airflow to keep your produce fresh for as long as possible. These containers also have an elevated base that holds the produce resting above any liquid or moisture that might collect, so all your food stays dry and firm. 

Taimasi Fruit Storage Containers, 5-Pack

These fruit storage containers have a pretty genius design where fruit sits in a removable colander inside a BPA-free plastic container. This makes it super easy to rinse your produce, drain any excess liquid, and keep it all from resting in the water. Shoppers who buy large amounts of produce say these keep things fresh for an extended period.

Xinhuaya Medium Food Storage Container

This container essentially has the same design as the above option, but there’s only one container here. But for $10, a single reusable 7- x 5- x 4-inch container will help keep items fresh while taking up little precious fridge space. Plus, this one has a near-perfect 4.9-star average rating.

PrepSolutions Lettuce Keeper

Anybody who regularly buys lettuce (or any greens, really) knows how hard it is to find the right environment for maximum freshness. This lettuce keeper — which can hold any produce — doubles as a colander and features a vent to control airflow and moisture. One shopper who regularly saw lettuce go bad in under a week said that after buying this container, they had crispy, fresh lettuce for over two weeks with no signs of browning or wilting.

Funtopia 8-Piece Food Storage Containers, $19

With a brand name like Funtopia, one can only imagine the good times in store for your produce. This set of four containers ranges from small to extra large and sees BPA-free plastic that’s dishwasher- and microwave-safe, and the airtight, locking lids are leak-proof.
