Celery is so cheap at the moment and my local store isn't selling it in half bunches. It is not the price that bothers me but the wastage. I only use 1-2 stalks at a time and then it can be up to a week before I need it again but by then it is soft.
Any solutions other than sharing with friends?

Ah well, there's is no such thing as soft celery. This is why.
When you buy it, cut the bottom off so the stalks are separate, trim the leaves off and any other bits you don't want, and cut the stalks roughly in half, so they'll fit in a medium size plastic bag (or you can leave the stalks long and put them into a large plastic bag). Twist tie the bag closed. Put in fridge.
If you've run out of energy after a long day and the above is the last thing you feel like having to do on getting home from grocery shopping, put the whole thing untrimmed, etc into a giant plastic bag and twist tie the bag closed, and put in fridge.
