We really should do much better in our food storage efficiency or should be economical about our groceries.

I often freeze a portion of my produce if I don't think I'll be able to eat it all. This is especially nice for things like veggies that are one sale. It's very easy to freeze things at home (way easier than canning) and you can refreezing things at least once (depends on the food really). Thanks for all the awesome info!

Just toss some not-so-pretty produce into a food processor and you make amazing trinity, it tastes the same with old produce that it does with perfect looking veggies! So far I've made made French Trinity (using onions, celery and carrots that had seen better days) and it came out wicked awesome, plus if you have lots of imperfect produce and made extra trinity, just toss it in a container and freeze it. Spanish sofrito (tomato, garlic and onion) works equally well too! Make the trinity with old produce!!

They aren't much of an investment and especially for homemade baked goods they are irreplaceable.

My best tips are to attire your celery and carrots in a jar of water and to wrap greens in a damp towel. I wrote a post about storing produce at the Green Phone Booth recently.

There are also lots of veggies you can pre-chop and freeze in smaller portions (peppers are a favorite at our house - we stock up when they're on sale, then chop them and freeze them in little containers). Then you just pull them out and dump them in whatever you're cooking. Soup is always a great idea.
