green onions
I really like to cut up green onions on everything, but when I buy the bunches of them from the store they're all limp and nasty looking like two days later. I keep them in my fridge and everything, but nothing helps!
Am I doing something wrong, or should I buy them somewhere else, or is this just the curse of green onions?

Well, you may wish to ask one of the associates at the store where you shop when they get new shipments in. If you then come in within a day of that time you'll be able to receive the freshest possible onions. Also, don't be afraid to ask the person who might be stocking the produce department at the time if there are more onions in the back.
As for keeping them fresh, the store provides a good example for how to do so. The sprayers above the vegetables keep them moist and prevent them from drying out and becoming limp. I have seen the items that don't get sprayed go bad in merely a day, even if they were fresh from the truck when I stocked them on the floor.
My suggestion would be to get a little spray bottle and fill it with water and wet the onions every so often to keep them from losing their moisture. Another solution would be to keep the onions in a tray with a little bit of water in the bottom and a paper towel on top to spread the water over the tops of the onions. Anything that helps keep the onions moist will extend the shelf life of them greatly.
