I buy them at BJ's... they have a huge spice/herb department of
restaurant sized containers, just as good quality as Penzeys but costs
a lot less. About all I buy from Penzeys lately are some of their
salt free blends.

Aah - but for we golden oldies throwing anything away is tantamount to treason. Waste not want not was the daily cry ! Even dried left over crusts of bread were cubed and added to meagre fry-ups or into burgers (rissoles in those days) in the years of rationing :0)
And if the freezer has some space why not use it up with something that can be added to rice dishes later on. Add to that - onions are not good for the compost heap and the birds will not eat them with other scraps.

i haven't done this with green onions but with
garlic. i put it through the meat grinder and then
douse it with plenty of lemon juice and pack it
into small jars and freeze it.

the other approach would be to dice them and
pickle/sweet and sour them like a relish. it
will keep like that in the fridge for quite
some time. if you actually heat it up enough
and there is enough acid from the vinegar it
will keep as a canned item in a glass jar and
a canning lid for several years.

sure it may be soggy/mushy but when you cook
you can use it as part of a bbq sauce or when
you fry something else to caramelize.

Old posts and questions don't bother me. So what if it's very old
and the poster might not ever see responses. Happens all the time
with people using Google Groups. Old posts do bring up things
that others might not have seen years ago. There *are* newer
people in this group that might have missed a discussion from 10
years ago or so.

My gripe with old posts is some knucklehead dredges up a 20
year old post and answers the ORIGINAL POSTER like they've
been hanging around all these years just waiting some for
someone to answer them.

Oh-Feel-Me positively goes orgasmic when a post older than
her chin whiskers shows up.
