Ok so I'm not a fan of nylons. They are too tight and make my legs look like they have a tan when my arms are white as snow. Not such a pretty sight. I do like tights in the winter for a little extra warmth but the tights I buy tend to have a little more to them than your average nylons.
So what to do with those pantyhose.... Here's a thought:
Pantyhose = Onion Storage
Slip onions into the tights and tie a knot on the top of each onion as you add them to the nylon. Each time you need to use an onion just take the scissors and snip off the onion on the bottom!
Have you ever used this little onion storage trick? How do you store onions?

It sounds like a great tip, but I use way too many onions and too few pantyhose for this to work out for me.
Yes, I used this tip. It worked well other than I waited too long and had too much light so a few of my stored onions started trying to grow again (green shoots). But keeping the onions from touching each other, they stayed good for a very long time in my cellar-like basement.
works well have done it before. they last forever!!
I have found this is the ONLY way to keep my onions from spoiling! Been doing this for several years now. It works…FOR SURE!
I did and it works great. Just wish it was that easy to store squash and potatos.
I don’t have a basement or cellar, so what is the best way to store onions? And potatoes?
Any cool, dark area will work. A pantry, a spare closet, ect.
