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!
Hey great tips! Thank you so much for your feedback, Mike đ

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.
Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. I appreciate it, Mike đ§
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 itâs time to last longer
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
Sandra Knapp, you are a rare bird indeed! Few and far between are folks today who have the courtesy to express appreciation for something that they get for free. I very much appreciate you coming back and leaving feedback letting me know how my tip worked for you. Mike â„
@@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
Kitchen Tips Online Hey sir this is very informative! Thank you so much! Is there any way I can reach you? If possible I would love to get your best email. Hope to get in touch with you soon.
Damn this simple tip works!!! Miind blowing experience!!! Now i have lettuce for dayyyzzzzzz!!!
Hereâs 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! đđ
Shelley, thanks for the tip, Mike đ§
Awesome been wondering this as Iâm eating more these days!
? Do you put a lid on them?
@@pamelawilkins1767 yes I put a lid on them in the fridge. đđ»
@@shellz8775 Thank you
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.
Terry Brown, I should have mentioned that in my video because I definitely do not use a knife myself though. Thanks for the tip, Mike âș
I do the same thing also with fresh grapes
Hi Terry. I do the same- tear the leaves then layer them in a container with paper towel in between. Just a question
tho, do you wash them first? I wash them first and i found online that it's better if you dont until you want to eat it
Excellent advice
Why shouldnât you cut lettuce? I have a special plastic lettuce cutting knife, but it doesnât seem to do much. Your answer would be appreciated. Thanks.
I know Iâm getting older when I realize that him having all those pots and pans is making me jealous
Mayell vera, I have too many pots and pans and gadgets. In fact, a lot of the stuff hanging there is for effect when making CZcams videos. Mike âș
I was thinking the same. LoL Good info. Thanks
Exactly.... Great composed deadly Covid disaster waiting to happen from above. More is not better.... its still clutter.
my biggest dream now is to get a set of le creuset pots, different shapes different colours
What I understand it from you itâs better to vacuum the air from the plastic zipper bag right? Dose it work for fruits and other vegetables?
Thankyou so much. I just bought a big head of ice burg lettuce today and I will store it this way from now on. I buy and use a lot of celery so I'm going to look at that next. Very helpful Mike!
You're welcome! Thanks for the feedback. By the way, I recently uploaded a video on how I keep bagged food fresh for longer. Here's the link if you want to check it out, Mike đ§czcams.com/video/m1h5BLilVuk/video.html
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.
Love your lettuce tip! The plastic knife makes sense. Thanks for the tips! Glad you enjoyed the show! Mike đ§
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 !
William Thomas, that's a great tip the! Thank you very much for sharing. Mike âș
Kitchen Tips Online you can also put it in a jar of water & keep in fridge! Lasts weeks as well!

Thanks for all these fantastic tips! I am originally from Tampa FL but live now in Europe. Groceries you buy here usually don't last nearly as long like in the states so I am now watching all your interesting suggestions on how to keep things fresh because I dislike having to throw food away.

Great tip! For years I have had a Tupperware bowl for ages that is designed to store and save iceberg lettuce for at least 3 weeks. Itâs one of those items that I never want to get rid of, cuz it really works! But, I have only used it for iceberg lettuce. Will your tip with the ziplock bag work for the pre-mixed, store bought salads?
OMG, I think you just saved me! Thank you...going to try and definitely going to share! Happy (almost) New Year!

Diana Nguyen, you are very welcome, thank you for your feedback, Mike âș
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!!
Hi, it's amazing how simple yet effective methods like the 'human vacuum' can stand the test of time. Your adaptation with the handheld vac sealer is a great example of innovation in action. Thanks for sharing your insights, and I'm thrilled to hear that my video was helpful! Mike đ§ P.S. I invite you to check out one of my newer videos on the easiest way to clean cookie sheets and sheet pans. Here is the link: czcams.com/video/26Id-i2cv5M/video.html
@@KitchenTipsOnline Hi Mike, I haven't checked out the vid yet but I'm wondering if I can guess your method...is it put them in the oven self-clean cycle? At least that's my method and I apply it as well to cast iron skillets when I think I need to break em down and re-season. But for sure, I'll check your link. Thanx for sharing your knowledge and insights! (I just wish my kitchen was as organized as yours! Nice kitchen!!
Thank you for the compliment on my kitchen! As for the cleaning method, you nailed it! I also use the self-cleaning oven to clean my cast iron. Sounds to me like you are definitely on the ball, and maybe you should have your own CZcams channel. Do you have any other kitchen tips or tricks you would like to share? Mike đ§
My lettuce was starting to turn brown on outter, top leaves, I trimmed it up, lined cookie sheets with parchment between layers of lettuce. Worked perfect. Take one out, chop it up, add to casseroles, soups, whatever. Not one head lost, frozen, and used. Can't thaw it for fresh, but great for filler vegetable in other recipes.
For pre mixed salads. I put a new paper towel in the bag everyday,keeps it crunchy & lasts about 5-7 days longer than normal.
Okay, thanks for the tip. Mike
@@donjulio8807 No, you do not, because I have not had any fibers from the paper towel come off at all. Remember it is there to absorb excess moisture, so the wetness prevents fibers from separating.
I have also noticed that if I don't put my hands in the bag, only shake out what I want, it lasts longer.
Thanks for the presentation at TBTC @ Tampa.

I leave my lettuce in my salad spinner. It lasts for a long time. And wrapping celery in aluminum foil keeps it fresh and crisp for a long time
Thanks for your feedback and tip. I already did a video on how to store celery using the method you described, Mike đ czcams.com/video/x7k2iO27R-k/video.html
Confirming the plastic bag idea....yep, it works. I also get fresh lettace from the market place (no bag) and I put them in a gallon mason jar and vac/pac. I've kept lettace that way for 1 MONTH...saves me tons of $. Love this channel.

I'm going to give this a try as I love salad in the summer. To keep Cilantro bunches from getting black and icky I pull as many of the lower leaves out of the bunch and put the whole bunch in a glass partially filled with water. I store this in the refrigerator with a "keep fresh" bag over the top. It lasts for weeks.
Thank you much for your tip and feedback. Mike âș
It's been some time since you said you were going to try this. How did it work for you? Do you store your lettuce this way all the time now? Thanks, Mike âș
Thanks for the tip on cilantro!!! I stopped buying it since it went black & icky so quickly---much faster than parsley. It's hard to believe you can make cilantro last for weeks. I will try it this week.
Thanks so much for this video. Nowadays, we all need to save on everything. I'm about to go do this now.
Thanks đ§
My German Gran would put stale thick bread chunks in with the various lettuce,greens,etc. Works well. Gotta move it around,here n there,mix gently,also,change the bread chunks

Have you tried storing lettuce in the refrigerator the way I suggested it in the video yet? If you did, what were the results? Thanks in advance for your feedback, Mike âș
This tip isnât about lettuce, but boiled eggs! To get perfectly boiled eggs. Put your eggs in a pan, cover with cold water put on the stove to cook. Bring them to a rolling boil, cover and remove from heat. Let stand 20 min-and your eggs are perfect! Never green, never running-but just right!!
Diane Thompson, that is an excellent tip, thank you very much for your feedback. Hey everyone, let's give Diane a thumbs up for her tip, thanks, Mike âș
And to make them easy to peel, plunge them into ice water and let sit for a few minutes. Drain, then peel or store in the fridge. When you're ready to peel them, give a slight crack and the shells should just slide off.
Just bring to boil and leave on burner for 8 to 9 mins, always turn out nice and yellow, no green, Ive used up to six eggs
i very much enjoyed the explanation you gave on the gas and how lettuce gives off just a little but when stores combine it with other veggies, it goes bad faster. i enjoy the "technicalities". thank you. =)

Very good informationđ
Thanks đ§
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!
Thanks for your suggestion although it seems like extra work compared to what was demonstrated in the video, Mike đ

My question is how does he keep them so spotless and shiny?
@@TinekeWilliams Sorry if this sounds rude cause I don't mean it that way but I have this problem with my in-home Aide & my pots & pans. He washes them. Both inside AND out. 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)
still looks brand new. It's easy once you get in the habit. đ

Thanks for the lettuce tips! I'll try them out as soon as I buy some fresh. What I have in the frig is about ready to walk away. :(
Haha, you're welcome. Please come back and tell everyone how it works for you. Remember it's important to leave the core in place and not to was the lettuce before you put it in the fridge. Each time you need some, remove what you need and wash it then. If you use a knife to remove the core, the lettuce thinks it's been injured and start to deteriorate right at that spot.

Store bottles of onion powder or granules and garlic powder or granules in a ziplock bag in freezer after opening. This keeps them free flowing and not a hardened mass.
