We've come across some really good tips to help you stretch your food dollars!

• Line bottom of crisper drawer with paper towels. They'll absorb excess moisture that causes vegetables to rot.
• Wash & dry whole bunches of herbs (a salad spinner is great for this!) and freeze in sealed plastic bags. When cooking, just chop as needed and add to pan! I've actually been using this trick for years and it works great!
• Avoid separating bananas until you plan to eat them - they'll spoil less quickly in a bunch.
• A bay leaf slipped into a container of flour, pasta or rice will help repel bugs.
• When celery or carrots have lost their crunch, simply pop them in a bowl of iced water along with a slice of raw potato - they'll freshen up!
