I have been having trouble now for weeks, buying good onions. It started at
Winco. They didn't have a lot of onions in stock and I thought I had picked
two good ones. But by the time I got to my car, I could smell one so I knew
it wasn't good. It actually only had one bad spot inside, not visible from
the outside. I just trimmed that part off and used it. And yes, I know how
to look for a good onion.

Since then I have been pretty much only buying as needed but I do use a lot
of onions so like to keep at least a few extra. I will say that all of the
onions I got from Amazon Fresh have been good but they are often out of the
kind that I want.

I just had to toss out a sweet onion because it just went to mush. I can't
remember where I bought it but I know I only had it for a few days. Tried
to buy some more at Albertsons but most looked bad. I finally found a large
one that seemed to be okay. I hope so.

Over the years I have had problems here and there with an onion going bad or
sprouting but never to this extent! Could it be something in the way they
are grown? Too much water? Lack of water? I even moved one of my little
dehumidifiers on top of the bin, thinking that might help. It didn't.
