Hands down, my fave money and time saving hack! Grab a 10 lb bag of onions from Costco & try this technique!

🧅 Why Bulk Onions?

First, onions are a kitchen essential — used in soups, stews, sauces, stir-fries, and more. Buying them in bulk is way cheaper than buying a few at a time, especially if you cook often.

At stores like Costco or Sam’s Club, a 10 lb bag of yellow onions is super affordable and lasts weeks when stored properly.

💡 The Hack: Chop, Portion, Freeze!

Here’s the magic: Instead of letting those onions sit around and go bad (or having to chop them every night), you prep them all at once and freeze them for easy use.

🔪 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Peel & Chop

• Peel and chop all the onions — dice, slice, or mince depending on how you use them most.
• Tip: Use a food processor for ultra-fast chopping with minimal tears!

Step 2: Portion

• Divide into ½-cup or 1-cup portions (common recipe sizes).
• You can use freezer-safe bags, silicone molds, or small containers.

Step 3: Label & Freeze

• Label each portion with the amount and date.
• Freeze flat for easy stacking and faster thawing.

⏱️ Why It’s a Game-Changer

• Saves prep time: No more crying over onions every meal.
• Reduces waste: Use what you need, when you need it.
• Saves money: Buying in bulk is cheaper than buying small amounts regularly.
• Perfect for busy nights: Toss frozen onions straight into a hot pan — no thawing needed!
