If you keep your onions completely dry, separated, and hanging, they will last you for months. Take a washed or new pair of pantyhose and stack your onions vertically, then store in a cool dark place. Additionally, if you tie a knot in the hose between each whole onion, they will touch each other even less, lasting a bit longer.

This tip is so right on time for me. Just this past weekend, I was going to buy yellow onions. I only needed a couple. The loose onions were very large, so I didn't get any of them. Smaller onions were available in a five pound bag, but I was afraid they would go bad before I could use them all. I left the store without any onions.
I'll go back and get the five pound bag and store them as you have suggested. Now, to find a pair of nylons. I wouldn't dare keep onions in my pink fishnets. They were a gift from Gypsy Rose Lee, and she would never forgive me.
