You can save money just by extending the shelf-life of your produce! Get more tips on our blog http://www.aspirefcu.org/blog

1. Save Money by Extending the
Life of Your Produce

2. Bananas: shrink-wrap the crown
This reduces the release of ethylene gas and
slows the ripening process

3. Stem-less tomatoes: place upside
down on the counter
This prevents air from getting into the opening
at the top

4. Pears: store in the dark
Sunlight speeds up the ripening process in fruits
like pears and melons

5. Onions: store in pantyhose
Put an onion in each foot and tie a knot in
between, continuing that pattern until legs are
full!

6. Mushrooms: store in paper bags
