Separate your bananas (and store them away from other fruit) to prevent them from going off quicker.

You can peel ginger with a spoon without losing all that extra ginger.

Keep your butter in the freezer and then grate it for baking and pastries. It mixes into the flour easier and melts quicker.

Don’t bother peeling garlic, just cut off the root end and squish it with the flat side of the blade.

Buy separate cutting boards for meat-only, gluten-free only, veggies-only, etc to avoid cross-contamination.
