Recipes for two people often require part of an onion and/or part of a bell pepper. For many years until my retirement I used a piece of onion or pepper and stored the leftovers in the refrigerator, fully intending to use them and almost always feeding them to the trashcan on the next shopping day.
Then I retired and frugality became a necessity. Money was tight and waste was totally unacceptable. I still use onions and peppers but now I don't waste them. Every time I use part of an onion or pepper I cut the remainder in thin strips and store them together in the freezer in a ziplock bag. I use them in everything from omelets to stir fries to Spanish rice and the only loser is my poor neglected starving trashcan.

Thanks for the info on the Magic Bullet. I've seen the commercials and wondered if they were worth the cost.
