Tip for singles or elderly couples:

I never seem to use up an entire package of celery or mushrooms, or a whole red or green pepper before it spoils. Now I pick up the narrow plastic produce bags offered in that department and head to the salad bar to fill them with just the small amount I need. Skip the covered foil pan (too big and adds to the weight of the item and therefore the cost). Big savings and no waste!
