I've gotten better at not overbuying, but I do try to store greens in a
way that minimizes waste and spoilage. I have a Rubbermaid crisper bowl
that I keep washed lettuce in. It has a little grill in the bottom so
that the lettuce isn't sitting in any water that hasn't spun off after I
wash the lettuce. Other items get wrapped in a damp paper towel and
stored in a closed plastic bag. I put cut radishes in the lettuce
crisper, along with cucumbers that I've cut into. Mushrooms tend to be a
big problem in the summer, as I sometimes get tired of mushrooms before
I finish a box; in the winter, spare mushrooms go into soup.
