I buy frozen pearl onions. They are good in beef stew and cheaper than
fresh. The only time I use fresh pearl onions is when I make balsamic
glazed onions for Thanksgiving.

An ex SIL used to chop onions and celery and freeze them. She didn't
vacuum pack them though. I thought it was a neat idea, but I don't have
a lot of extra freezer space so I don't bother.
