How do you store your greens for the week?

Since changing my eating lifestyle last month I've been going to the farmer's market in Union Square in NYC every weekend to stock up on veggies. Since the farmer's market is only there Fridays and Saturdays, I have to figure out how to store my veggies for the week.

I am having problems with leafy greens for the most part. I have managed to extend the fridge life of romaine by washing and pulling them apart before storing in tupperware. Any suggestions for delicate greens such as spinach?

Thanks in advance!

    Yes " Green Bags" they are great! I have been using them for several years. They keep every thing fresh 3-4 times longer. Look on line (google them) just follow directions ( very simple) just like storing in regular bag, each bag can be reused 10x. They aren't very expensive either :wink: I probably paid for mine in a couple of weeks from all the food I didn't have to throw out. Trust me you will be hooked :flowerforyou:

    Thank you for the suggestion, just watched a few youtube videos about these and they tested well. I will try them out. Thank you!
