Getting groceries from the supermarket for the month feels awesome, knowing that you don’t have to go to the store daily for supplies. Buying in bulk will definitely save you time and energy (and most likely money!) but unfortunately, some items tend to spoil fast if not stored properly.
You should not have to spend your entire day cleaning up the mess in the fridge, or throwing tons of food items in the waste bin. So read on for useful hacks for how to keep your food fresh!
Coat Your Halved Avocados and Apples in Citrus
Halved apples and avocados begin to brown as soon as you cut them open and their flesh is exposed to oxygen. The trick is to simply coat whichever fruit you’re cutting with citrus lemon. This process preserves the fruits for a longer time, it’s healthy, and you get an extra acidic kick.

Store Tomatoes in a Brown Paper Bag
Usually tomatoes are wrapped in plastic bags, but to prevent rotting, you should put your tomatoes in a brown paper bag and store them at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.
Keep your Berries Fresh
How should you store berries to prevent them from rotting? Put the berries in a bowl and rinse them with 1 cup of vinegar and 8 cups of water. This process will also help destroy any bacteria on the fruit and make it last longer.
