I just found out I've been wasting a ton of money on fresh herbs

I was making a big pot of chili last week and realized I spent $4 on a bunch of fresh cilantro that I only used a quarter of. The rest went bad in my fridge. My friend in Phoenix said she buys a whole plant for $3 at her local market and just snips what she needs. I got a little basil plant from the grocery store for $2.50, and it's already lasted me three weeks. I feel silly for not trying this sooner. What other fresh ingredients do you guys grow at home to save cash?

Green onions are stupid easy to regrow in water.

No way, I always thought you needed to plant them in dirt again! I kept buying new ones for years like a total chump. Seeing the roots grow in just a glass of water is kinda wild. Definitely trying this next time.
