  The hack my mom used to get us to eat vegetables was to put them out while she was cooking dinner.

  The easiest way to avoid clutter from plastic bags is to use reusable bags. That’s how we do it in Germany. You simply bring your own cotton bags or containers. There are specially coated bags for frozen foods. In all your other videos about clutter, you say that you should tackle the root cause of the problem rather than the symptom. In this case, that would mean avoiding plastic bags (which is also better for the environment) rather than just using an organizational hack.

  For onions, one of the easiest tricks that my chef of a dad told med was to simply breath through your mouth. Works pretty well

  Of all the hacks to extend life of bananas, the one that works for me:   Fold a paper towel over a couple of times and wet it.  Squeeze out excess.  Wrap it around step of bananas (if there is a cover already, take it off).  Put some plastic wrap over the paper towel and secure it with a rubber band.  This gives me like 4 extra days.  Still get those black dots on the peel, but the inside doesn't get mushy.

  The best pomegranate hack is to de seed it submerged in water. You don’t have to worry about liquid splatter staining your clothes, counter, etc.

  I put my strawberries in a mason jar with a metal lid in the fridge and I've had them last weeks.  Literally weeks.  They get sweeter too.  I wash them when I take them out to use.

  An onion hack that i use and works MOST of the time, leave the butt on while dicing the onion. It also helps keep the onion together while dicing too, makes the whole process easier and faster.

  Chilling onions and leaving the root end intact has helped a lot in my kitchen. I used your plastic bad hack in my kitchen as well, but now the stores don't use plastic bags anymore, and we use all resusable bags, so don't need to do that. My favorite hacks of yours that aren't on this video is the twist and turning the bag over a loaf of bread to keep it closed, use that all the time. Also, best buy ever were those slide-on bag sealers, also something I use all the time, especially good for the freezer where other types of clip-ons tend to get knocked off as things get moved around. Love the sock thing, will be trying that, also the t-shirt fold. Have a lovely day.

  Hack that we have used for years with onions. Soak peeled onions in water for an hour before chopping. I grew up watching this being done. No watery eyes
