Here's a tip and habit you should create to keeo your veggies lasting longer in the fridge and prevent a mess when it goes bad after it gets accidently pushed to the back (it happens to everyone).
Just put a napkin/papertowel inside the plastic bag you buy it in. Seriously, sounds weird, but a lady I knew a while ago made her own sauces and grew her own crops and she did this. I couldn't believe how well it works!
Start by rinsing your veggies(and the plastic it comes in), mostly greens, and gently shake off water and place back into the bag you bought it in and place a napkin or paper towel in with it extended to the side of the bag. This wicks away moisture that starts to create bacteria, so instead of your food getting nasty, it just stays cleaner and lasts longer. I use it even after I cut a onion or bell pepper and won't be using the rest of it right away in a ziploc baggie wrapped in a napkin or paper towel. Sometimes it can wick away the edges of the cut veggie, but you can easily remove that after you re-use it and slice off the dry edges.
