I finally stopped buying those $4 bagged salad mixes

My neighbor told me I was wasting money on bagged salads that go bad in 2 days. She showed me how she buys a head of romaine for $1.50 and it lasts a whole week in the fridge with a paper towel. I switched over last month and now I'm saving about $10 a week on lunches. Has anyone else made that switch and found a trick to keep lettuce fresh even longer?

My mother in law wraps hers in a damp tea towel, I tried it and was shocked.

Have you tried flipping the towel halfway through? Works for me.
