I'm glad they seem to allocate more time for these segments, she's able to elaborate.

[@sandraaviles-wilkes7036]

Everyone giggling when she says “freeze your nuts”. Love the silly side of the Today show.

[@laurahill2272]

Craig, we garden and we hang our onions in hose!! My grandma has done it for 40yrs.

[@christianjane8401]

the way Craig was trying not to laugh lol

[@joanredwing1081]

What is happening??!🤣 - Al is my hero!

[@taniaallan5702]

Citrus fruit doesn’t continue to ripen on the counter, it starts to rot. Keep citrus in the fridge.

[@heatherbenge834]

I have been hanging onions in dollar store nylons for a few years now and they really do last for months.

[@char6524]

This segment is fire hahaha

[@pamelawing5747]

I make my freezer -2. I keep fridge at 38. Milk never freezes. I keep nuts in freezer or fridge, my whole wheat flour, oatmeal, and Bisquick are also kept in the fridge or freezer. Don't store potatoes and onions together. I put potatoes in a plastic "basket" I have, it has holes in it for air circulation. Its' in the pantry with a large towel draped over to keep the light out. It keeps the potatoes from getting that green stuff on them. I also take my potatoes or bags from the bottom of the pile, at the store, so they haven't had as much light exposure.

I keep my apples in the fridge produce drawer and it lasts so much longer than on the counter/table.

[@kara8186]

I use jelly jars with enough water to cover the bottom of the stalks to keep my cilantro/parsley fresh. They usually stay good for 1-2 weeks and I just keep them in the windowsill.

[@mugentuner]

Roker in for the save after Craig was advised to freeze his nuts at 2:33

[@rosesmith6925]

Be careful. Somebody out there is going to scream sexual harassment 😂😂

[@seyheyalishak]

1st!! Comnent! There are a bunch of home hacks from the 1940s! Indoor herb garden, especially green onions. Saving bacon greese is also a money saver!

[@simonialei9020]

Try to buy a pot of herbs with the roots in soil and grow them. Or find a friend that can give you a long herb clipping with a lot of stem to grow yourself. I find basil, rosemary, and thyme grow well from cuttings. Potted herbs are so much more cheaper and fresher than the herb cuttings in the store. Saved so much money this way.

[@emmettdavy4754]

This is so chaotic from the freezing nuts to hanging bananas 10/10 segment today show

[@lizabetx483]

Ripe fruits release ethylene which will cause other fruit to ripen.

[@JP-lu9ed]

Thus the saying “one bad apple spoils the barrel”

[@Micaelaacuna]

Pantyhose may be expensive but they do get holes in them so I find myself throwing them away a lot they're still one good leg for my onions lol

[@kitten92654]

If you submerge the main stem of a bunch of bananas in a deep heavy mixing bowl, not a big one, of cold water and balance the bananas on the rim it keeps them from going bad and tuning black so fast. I buy them when they are slightly greenish yellow and submerge the stem part in a bowl of water that gets changed every other day. It works and you don't end up with mushy black bananas after 6 days.

[@cocoaorange1]

I learned some cool stuff.

[@BKME19]

2:31 TJ Holmes would have broke at that line 😂

[@juliel.bateson4971]

all those will not keep the air out of your foods. The best way is to get a Food Saver type of machine that actually removes the air out.

[@bellaapple2166]

😊😂😅 Great tips !

[@NannyNoot]

0:33 Keep Your Frig 35F-38F

[@json0912]

Tip: Sit those cut apple slices on salt water for a minute immediately after cut to prevent any black spot later

[@seannadiaz4028]

I bought a bag of lettuce at Walmart a few days ago and it's already expired. It is crazy to me how these companies can scam us like this.

[@ilyruiz2762]

I always do the onion an panty hoses thing an yes it works

[@B_ready4671]

Nobody's doing that Vicki😄..good tips..the plastic on the 🍌 stem really works!

[@sr2291]

I freeze all of my bread.

[@teresamus6979]

I don,t like potato to keep long in the box .

[@OcalaBrew]

11%. Eggs are up 400%! 11% is a joke!

[@cherylpendleton994]

Can’t waist pantyhose 😂 but I liked most everything else ❤

[@lezleyd55]
