#11: Learn How to Preserve Food
Sometimes, it seems like our fruits and vegetables are ready to go bad just as soon as we get home. You may feel like you are paying just to throw fresh produce in the trash. Thankfully, with some of these tips and tricks, you can preserve your groceries much longer to reduce waste and enjoy the food that you paid for.
The biggest one is to put vegetables like carrots and celery in water in a sealed jar. This allows them to last for 2 weeks to a month, depending on the vegetable. This is a lot better than a few days! If you need your veggies to last longer than that, cut them up and put them in the freezer.
