These sound like something I can really use. I just ordered some from
the web, since I don't know if local stores carry them. Thanks!

Where on the web did you get them? I haven't done a search yet, but I'd be
interested since none of my local stores carry them - I looked around today.

Here's where I ordered them. I haven't used this site before, and
since I just ordered today I can't comment on their service. But
anyway, they sell the bags.

Because of my hectic life, I don't often take time to eat enough veggies.
Today I bought celery, baby carrots, broccoli, cauliflower and sugar-snap
peas and some ziploc baggies. I divided everything up into five bags. I'm
going to eat one each day at work. Voila. Veggies.

A friend of mine gave me a preparation tip for the baby carrots that you
buy in stores. To keep them from being "slimy," wash them out at night
and place them on a paper towel. Be sure the carrots are only in one
layer. Leave over night. Package in bags for lunches the next morning.
It helps me out a lot since I have an aversion to "slime." :-)

I buy more vegetables per week than will fit in both bins, and that's
for a family of two.

What's the best way to store potatoes? We don't put them in the
fridge, just in our pantry. But they don't last too long. Is there a
better way? Is the fridge better? I don't think my Mom ever put
potatoes in the fridge, but we went through them faster then.

In the hot weather I do put mine in the fridge, although they take up
more room than I have to spare. In the cooler weather, I keep them in
a wire tray in a cupboard in the kitchen.

In the trashcan
I haven't bought a potato since June lol
Seriously though. My mother stored them in one bottom bin of the fridge
that was only used for that.

Cabbage, maybe. No potatoes here (LC), except an occasional sweet potato.

I've got cooking onions, bulb onions for salads, scallions, 3 colors of
bell peppers, yellow summer squash, green beans, brocolli, cauliflower,
asparagus, snow pea pods, celery, cucumbers, lettuce, radishes, mushrooms,
carrots and tomatoes, bunches of parsley and cilantro, garlic, shallots
and ginger root at the moment. They take up the bins and most of the
bottom shelf.

I never put potatoes in the fridge and they seem to
keep at least two weeks. What seems to cause problems
is leaving them in the plastic bag. It doesn't wick
moisture off and they seem to rot faster. I put them
in brown paper bags and leave them in the kitchen.

Not true, when I was a teenager we had a farm and a BIG
garden and we stored potatoes for months in the cellar.

they should last a couple of weeks in the pantry specifically. Put
then on the floor, it is cooler near the floor. They would last longer
in a cooler basement.
