Buyer’s Edge Where can I find it?
I found Dow Ziploc vegetable bags at a small discount grocery store and I love them. They work better than anything I have ever used. I cannot find them. I spoke with a rep and was told these have not been in stores for over two years. They came as 20 vented, quart-size bags. I went online and could not find anything that I thought was comparable. I would love to find a replacement for these bags as I am almost out. They keep fruit, peppers, etc., fresh longer than I anything else I have found. Any assistance you can give me would be very much appreciated. Thank you, and I look forward to your column each week.

It’s simply prepared but seems to be loaded with flavor without the addition of condiments. I was told that the secret to the meat is a barbecue salt, and that I should look for Celusal brand.
