A great list, thanks! I know if you spread lime juice onto an avocado that's been sliced it will stop it from going "brown". I can't remember the scientific process behind it but it certainly works! I'll have a read of the others later, but for now it's all about groceries. The sad thing about veg (and I really do love vegetables) is how quickly they go off.

Another tip; remember, don't keep tomatoes or bananas in the fridge. They need to be kept at room temperature.

Thanks for sharing these great links! I remember when I was younger in Girl Scouts they taught us how to cut fruits and make them last for our lunches, ect. It's been awhile since I actually cared about putting lemon juice on my cut apples, but recently I have been letting a lot of food go to waste and tips like this are great.

There's so much food waste in our society its crazy. Try never throwing away food from the fridge, even if a day or two out!
