I can't remember ever cutting into an onion and not using it all... a
cut raw onion has never seen the inside of my fridge, not ever. Onions
are all sizes, choose an appropriate size. I look for bags of onions
of various sizes. I use a lot of onions, mostly for soups, stews, or
caramelized... I'll caramelize a three pound bag of onions for one
burger, did that two days in a row last week, I'll start the onions at
about 8 AM for dinner, just leave them go on the lowest heat and stir
about once every hour. The market in town had 3 lb bags of onions/$1
BOGO, so I stocked up, bought six bags (18 lbs) for $3, I picked out
the smallest for when I don't need a lot of onion. I like raw onion
in sandwiches, a SPAM sandwich with raw onion is fantastic, that was
lunch today... 1/2 an Italian loaf with mustard, mayo, SPAM, iceberg,
and onion... just a modicom of mayo to hold lots of freshly ground
black pepper.
