    Does it keep crisp in foil? Mine always goes soft and bendy if I keep it in the salad drawer.

    If I had 2 or 3 packets of celery in the fridge...OH would still eat the lot. He'd just say that he was hungry. Good tip though for those that can get it to last longer than 2 days.

    Mine too :)

    I don't actually like celery but I can tolerate small amounts in soups/stews, and always add a stick when making stock, so a pack would easily last me 2-3 weeks. My mum used to stand it in a glass of water on the kitchen windowsill and it lasted quite well too.

    I bought tons of celery. I am thinking about freezing them but I am not sure how to do it? What can I cook with frozen celery? I only found this thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/46766 but I don't have foil.
