Banana Saver Review

 Banana Saver

unique clip keeps cut banana fresh.

cut banana @ 10 AM

it reduces the cut banana's exposure to the air slowing it's oxidation

ate 2nd half @ 3 PM
Review: I think it works great! I cut my first 1/2 @ 10 AM and ate the second at 3PM!!!! I know so many people ask "you can't eat a full banana??" sometimes a full banana is too much. If I want it in my cereal I don't want to much.

How to save $ & cut a pineapple

Start with a whole pineapple.
Cut off top of pineapple
Center pineapple cutter over core of pineapple.

Twist, twist, twist....
Pull the pineapple cutter from the pineapple. Pour the juice and have a glass. I pull the core out and you have a great container for a fresh fruit salad.
Once the cutter is out you can keep the pineapple in slices or cut into chunks.
You end up with the whole pineapple cut in slices. You can cut into smaller pieces make a fruit salad, freeze them (recommend laying slices or chunks on cookie sheet place in freezer. once frozen bag)
I bought this whole pineapple for $2.98 vs. can's of pineapple for $1.50+.
