| Keeping Lettuce Fresh
|
|
I buy romaine lettuce when it is on sale, and have found a way to keep it fresh and crisp for up to 4 weeks. Wash your romaine and core it when you get home from the supermarket.

| Store Dry Goods in Refrigerator or Freezer
|
|
Store your legumes, flour, oatmeal and nuts in the fridge or freezer. They won't get weevils or insects, and will last longer.

| Store Bread In Cereal Bags
|
|
Reuse cereal plastic bags to keep bread, buns, etc. fresh. They are very durable, too good to waste!

| Keeping Produce Fresh
|
|
Whenever I buy grapes, I always wash them right away for an easy snack to grab. To ensure they stay fresh as long as possible. I always stick a couple folded up paper towels in the bottom of the bowl or zip-lock bag.

| Glass Jars for Food Storage
|
|
I store my sugars in glass jars, like the big pickle jars, same thing for flour, cornmeal, oatmeal. Bugs can't get in them, because my house is so small.

| Storing Food for Emergencies
|
|
Everywhere I read about how we should be storing food due to fires, water shortage, etc. I store dry foods like rice, beans, oats, pasta, bulk foods and noodles by leaving them in their packages dating and storing them in plastic snap lid buckets.

| Shelf Life of Sour Cream
|
|
When I buy sour cream it is usually on sale, and I use coupons if I have one. It isn't something I use often, and sometimes I forget it is in the frig.

| Pantyhose Onion Holder
|
 Save your knee highs and the legs from pantyhose to use to store onions. Just put onion in hose and tie a knot. Add another onion and tie a knot etc. Hang in a cool dry area. When you need an onion, cut it off the bottom below the knot.

| Storing Food in a Winterized House
|
|
We have a home in upper Michigan and this year we are winterizing it for the first time. Can we leave our canned goods, dry foods, laundry detergent or personal bath items in the home during the winter? Or do we have to remove everything from the home that is boxed, canned or liquids?
