  You can freeze them but how are they about to go off? How do you store them? I don't think I've ever had an anion go off

  They shouldn't go off in a week!

  Oh, I keep them in the fridge, but just assumed they would go off as I had not used them! How long do you reckon I am ok to keep them then ? xx

  I like to slice onions into fine rings and cook them very slowly in loads of butter and about a cup full of marsala (or white wine and some sugar) until they're dark brown and sludgy and sweet. GOD they taste good on a baked potato. And then yes, you can freeze that in portions and chuck it any recipe where you'd normally put in an onion.

  A few other suggestions to use them up
  You could make a vegetable stock and freeze it.
  You could make French onion soup. Lots of onions in that. There was a recipe on SFTW the other day
  You could make an onion tart or similar type recipe. There was a French one on one of Rick Stein's shows that used a lot of onions. A bit like an onion pizza.

  The fridge dehydrates food so its not the best place to keep any vegtables long term. Onions should be ok anywhere cool and dry - traditionally they are strung together and hung up in the larder.
