TikTok user @lifetips669 posted a video clip detailing a variety of handy tricks to get the best out of your food shopping. "Vegetable vendors will never tell you these food storage tips," they began.
Detailing their spud storage trick, they explained: "Potatoes bought in bulk go bad. Potatoes and apples are good friends. Storing them together prevents sprouting.
