4. Avocados
Keep your avocados on the counter until ripe. This usually takes two or three days, depending on their state when you bought them. When they soften a bit, store them in the fridge to keep them from going bad. If you are storing half an avocado, make sure to wrap in an airtight bag before putting in fridge.

5. Keep herbs fresh with a jar and water
This is a trick many restaurants use and it is very simple. Snip about half an inch off the ends of the herbs to freshen up any dried ends and place them in a glass, vase, or even mason jar filled about halfway with cool water. Then cover the leafy part of the herbs with a resealable bag. Don’t use plastic wrap, as it will squeeze the herbs too tightly together. But as the water will continue to feed the herbs and keep them fresh, the plastic bag will keep air from getting to them, which can dry them out and cause them to wilt.

6. Get long-lasting berries
Prevent berries from getting moldy and soft. Mix one part of vinegar with ten parts of water. Rinse your berries in this solution before putting in the fridge. This method will allow your berries to last at least 1 week longer.

7. Wrap lettuce with a damp paper towel
Before putting in fridge, wrap lettuce with a damp paper towel. If you see leaves wilting, try to revive it by soaking the lettuce in ice water for a few minutes.

8. Store onions in pantyhose
Onions can stay fresh for up to 6 months if properly stored in a cool, dark place. Buy some clean pantyhose, and place whole onions into the feet. Tie a knot with the pantyhose between each whole onion. Repeat until you fill the entire pantyhose. Hang up in a closet, pantry, or kitchen wall. (Yes, this can be decor!)
