One of the easiest ways to save money at the grocery store has nothing to do with coupons. It starts at home with how you store your food.
When produce goes bad too quickly that is money straight into the trash. With a few simple storage tips you can make your groceries last weeks longer.
How to Store Parsley and Cilantro
Fresh herbs are often wasted because they are stored incorrectly.
Here is the method that works best
Cut off the bottom of the stems
Place the herbs upright in a cup with water
Make sure the stems are covered
Loosely cover the herbs with a plastic bag
Store in the refrigerator
Using this method parsley and cilantro can last up to three weeks.
I tested it myself and it works.
Simply snip what you need and put the rest back in the fridge.
Tomatoes and Onions Do Not Belong in the Fridge
This one surprises a lot of people.
Tomatoes should always be stored on the counter.

Onions also belong on the counter in a cool dry place.
Just keep them away from potatoes so they last longer.
