Saving money tip #1
Spring onions - replant and save!
We have all been there - we go grocery shopping with the best of intentions, and buy lovely fresh fruit and vegetables, but before you know it you have wilted, mushy, science-experiment worthy specimens hiding at the back of the fridge.
Spring onions certainly fall into this category - we would often buy a bunch, use a few and leave the rest to wilt in the fridge. However we have stopped doing this by simply planting them in the garden. It really is that easy - all you have to is make sure that when you buy them that most of the bunch still have the roots at the bottom (most do). When I unpack the groceries I put any spring onions that don't have any roots into the fridge and quickly plant the rest into our herb garden. No special effort required - and they will last months in the garden without too much effort besides the occasional watering.
