    I am a senior citizen living on social security. Nothing that I purchase can go to waste.
    I put packages of baby spinach in the freezer and just take out what I need for a smoothie or to chop for an omlete.
    I wrap celery in foil after cutting off the end....or chop and freeze.
    I cut the end off a romaine head... loosen up the leaves and place in plastic containers with a paper towel...I have had it be crisp 3 weeks later.
    When I buy berries...I freeze them right away.
    Thanks for these helpful $ saving tips!

    Just wanted to let you know. I watched your video a while back, and then tried out your tip for keeping lettuce and celery. All I can say is THANK YOU!! My head of lettuce stayed fresh and green for 5 entire weeks, as I shaved off a little at a time, when I made sandwiches. 5 Entire Weeks! I was struck dumb and I've been telling everyone I see about your tip! The celery tip worked to perfection too. I just can't thank you enough. Boy are you saving me money! :D

      @@KitchenTipsOnline You are most welcome. I had despaired on buying lettuce because I just couldn't keep it green, crisp and fresh for more than a few days, and being the only one eating it, it was impossible for me to use much in such a short time. I don't like using the whole leaf. I prefer shaving it so it lays flat on my sandwich bread. I had tried so many other methods and none of them kept it long enough to finish even half the head until I saw your tip and tried it. Now I can't stop telling everyone about it, I am so impressed. I could not let that go without saying a hearty "thank you." Besides, I was brought up to be polite and to give credit where and when credit is due. Have a great day, and a wonderful Christmas! :D

    I love these tips. I'm single and I don't go through food that fast and it ends up being thrown out. Which is a crime.
    It helps a lot especially bread which I don't eat fast enough, same with potatoes and most other veggies. Some stuff I can freeze such as bread and pull out when craving toast. And I've learned that there are many other foods, such as avocados you can freeze. I was skeptical but it works.

      Babe. Try checking out dehydrator. Cheap. Dry and when you want it. Just add water or some type of broth. Hint fellow. I just wash. Veggies with vinegar soak. Before it’s time to last longer

    Here’s a tip to help all your berries stay fresh longer!
    When I bring the berries (any & all berries ) home I put them in a bowl covered w/ water and add a splash of white or apple cider vinegar and let sit for ten minutes. Drain and lightly rinse, then let them sit out and air dry for a while. I then put them back into the container they came in or a glass container and put them in the fridge. They will last a good week or two with no mold! 🍇🍓

    I find that tearing lettuce into nice usable sizes , (never use a knife, scissors etc.) and then placing into a large Zip lock bag, after adding a paper towel at bottom and then at top. I take air out by simply rolling the bag to just leave minimum space for the lettuce. Just a method I use but I can make my lettuce eatable and delicious for close to a month.

    After cleaning cilantro and parsley in the salad spinner I put paper towel (usually four in a row still connected) and roll the parsley or cilantro in the paper towel and then put it in a ziplock bag. It will last WEEKS this way. Roll a little bit of parsley or cilantro into the towel then add more and roll on. Keep adding and rolling until all the cilantro/parsley is rolled up in paper towel and then into the ziploc. You will be amazed....I was !

    I always remove the core of the lettuce by giving it a sharp rap on the counter and pulling it out before putting it in a bag.
    I also use a plastic knife if I need to cut it as metal makes it go rusty.
    The lettuce lasts for weeks.
    Great show.
    So enjoyable to watch.

    I've been using the "human vacuum" method to remove air (just like you demonstrated) for 50 years, ever since one of my friends' father did that to preserve bread in its bag. I started doing it when ziploc bags were invented and it has really helped prolong the life of any food you store that way. I've recently started using one of those hand-held vac sealers with the special ziploc bags and when I do lettuce, I vac just until but before it squeezes the lettuce and this has also worked great. Thanx for the great learning vid!!

    Here's how I store my lettuce and other veggies and it works great!!
    After rinsing lettuce I spin it dry and break it into leaves. When I put it in a ziplock bag I add 1/2 of a paper towel to absorb the extra moisture. I do this for all lettuce. For things like peppers that I may have cut up, I also use a 1/2 of a paper towel. I keep an eye on things as I work through my fridge supplies and change the paper towel as it becomes saturated. The build up of extra moisture is what I find makes veggies go bad faster. I have had Romane lettuce stay fresh and crisp for weeks!

Grease & food particles stick to the outside & if they're not washed thoroughly, they get cooked on which makes them look old real fast. I invested in a reasonably priced high end set 20 years go & because I always washed them inside & out & never allowed metal near the non-stick coating all but 1 (the 1 my first Aide was using before I caught on)
