Montana Life Hack: Why This Everyday Household Item Is A Game Changer!

Soon Montanans with a green thumb will be tending to their gardens, which means fresh fruits and vegetables will be hitting local Farmers Markets across the state.

What product are we talking about?

Before we reveal this game-changer, let's take a look at some of the most iconic restaurants in Montana.

According to Readers Digest, when it comes to keeping your produce in tip-top shape, Montanans should be putting paper towels in the fridge. My wife has done this for years, and I thought she was being weird, but apparently, there's something to it.

According to the article, you want to line your produce bin in the fridge with paper towels. Why? Well, it seems that the paper towels absorb all the moisture from the fruits and vegetables, which means that they stay fresher and last longer.

I don't know about you, but over the years, I've thrown away hundreds of dollars of produce because it went bad sitting in the fridge. So, if you're looking to save money AND get more life out of your produce, a few paper towels in the fridge might just solve your problems.
