>I've found the greens just wilt and everything else loses crispness if I prepare and leave in the fridge
The best thing you can do for your greens is to wash them, put them in a good quality salad spinner and then put them in a plastic bag with a damp, but not overly wet, paper towel. You will be astonished by how long these will last in your fridge. I like to use quart and gallon zip lock bags, but cheap plastic produce bags will work too. I also recommend you be gentle with the greens and tear them instead of cutting them to elongate their lives.
There is a collapsible one!

Not kidding here: you can use a mechanical salad spinner thing as a replacement for a plate centrifuge. Just attach two plastic plate holders to the interior of the spinner, and pump away! Here's a link to one such device: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00004OCKR?pc_redir=1406791790&robot_redir=1
Theoritically, if it fractional freeze distillation were legal, you could use a salad spinner (yes, really) to separate liquid alcohol from water ice using centrifugal force. Dispose of the ice (by eating it - yum), and add the concentrate back into the bucket to refreeze. Repeat until the desired amount of ice has been scooped-out.
In theory, of course.
I like the Oxo one. This isn't the exact model but it's basically the same, I think. The mechanism is robust enough that you can go pretty crazy on it and then the whole thing starts dancing a little. Or you can open it before it stops and shower your whole kitchen with a lethal spray of romaine. Either way, my three year old loves it when we make salads.
just throw some razorblades on this
I have a friend who says "I want to eat healthy but I just don't like how healthy food tastes." I imagine you'd agree. While it's not the healthiest opinion to hold, it's completely understandable. It's honest. But I think this opinion comes from a lack of experience. I have reason to believe you too lack the experience of eating vegetables that are delicious and diverse. I believe this because when you talk about your experience with vegetables you cite watery lettuce and subway lettuce as your main examples. In the general scheme of great food, watery lettuce hearts and subway lettuce aren't very good and it's completely okay to not like these things.
I think for someone who doesn't eat healthy food at home, it's hard to come by it elsewhere unless you're an adventurous eater. If you go out to eat and you want vegetables, most restaurants won't have vegetable entrees. You'll either get your veggies on a sandwich (like at Subway), in a salad, or as some generic, choose-two-from-the-list side order (like steamed broccoli). At least this is the case where I live, in the South-eastern US. And all these things, while good when they are good, can get boring quickly. The lack of variety is a problem.
My advice to you would be to try and experience vegetable dishes of different cultures. Build your experience with vegetables. Tasty vegetables are out there. The trick is to find places that don't treat vegetables as an afterthought. Indian restaurants, for example, provide plentiful and diverse main dishes consisting of mostly vegetables. Chinese food does this as well. This doesn't mean you have to give up meat to be healthy. But I think that once you find delicious new ways to eat veggies, you won't feel like eating them is a burden or chore. You'll want to eat them.
That's the trick: to get to the point where you want to eat vegetables. Forcing yourself to eat healthy food you don't like isn't a sustainable lifestyle choice. If you have a choice between only healthy food you hate, and delicious food that's bad for you, of course you'll keep relapsing back to the unhealthy food. But there's a third choice: healthy food you love. And you can still have the unhealthy food too; once again, it's balance and moderation.
So, in addition to getting out and finding vegetables you like. There are some other things you can do. Like making boring healthy things taste better. For instance, try making a bunch of different salad dressings. Forgive the snobbery, but store bought is pretty rubbish unless you shell out for it. And put all kinds of shit on your salads. I made a salad for my brother-in-law and he was amazed at how good it was. All I did was put a bunch of different stuff on it that didn't suck. A salad doesn't have to be punishment. It doesn't have to be watery lettuce with kraft ranch.
Also, I really recommend learning to cook. I know sometimes, especially in college, it isn't practical. When I was 20 I had a roommate situation that led to the kitchen reaching biohazard levels a couple times. No one wants to cook in that. But if you're lucky to have a good living situation, it's really the best. And if you're kitchen situation isn't ideal, it's worth it to be the asshole enforcer of cleanliness among your roommates. But as far as the food goes, get your inspiration from /r/food, /r/cooking, /r/askcullinary, /r/asianeats, or even Pinterest or Allrecipes.com. If it looks appetizing, learn to cook it. And don't stop until you have an arsenal of healthy dishes you love to eat. They exist. I promise. You just have to find them.
EDIT: Solve the watery lettuce problem with a salad spinner. For real, I spin all the vegetables that go into a salad. Watery salad is unappetizing. This thing has like 650 reviews and it's absolutely worth it. It's all about taking the steps necessary to make healthy food taste good. For me, this is one of those steps.
A 5 minute soak in very cold water usually does the trick. A salad spinner makes it hassle free.
Caesar Salad is super easy to do.
I intentionally did not include specific measurements. After you make this recipe a dozen or so times, you'll dial in what works for you. Some people like a good garlic kick. Some people like a little extra acidity from the lemon. Some like a super fishy/salty dressing. Make it your way.
I'mma guess this. Cuz y'know. Salad. Also that item looks mighty fine.

I rinse and scrub them a bit by hand but then put them in one of those “salad spinner” things to spin the water off.

I'm trying to get healthy, and getting a salad spinner is atop my list. I really like salad, but won't eat it without washing it, which always leaves it feeling soggy and a little gross. It gets tiresome to have to wash small batches of lettuce every time I go for a salad, so a salad spinner would make it easier to make larger batches without the grossness.
Thanks of the contest! Conviviality!
We have this one
We've had it for a few years and probably use it 2-7 times a week (we get a CSA with a ton of unwashed greens). Its nice because it hold a lot and doesn't have anything in the middle. It's showing no signs of slowing down.
My one complaint is that you may need to stop it and drain the water a few times on really wet stuff, but no big deal.
I found one that just fits my underwires, and it's smaller than some ive seen (and I only do 1 bra at a time) - there definitely are some out that that will work - might even want to check Amazon (make sure you check product dimensions).
edit: Here's a salad spinner with 10.5" diameter on Amazon
Its so beautiful!!
To add to that, I use this salad spinner to sort the brass/ss pins.
Adding onto this- what has helped me recently is using a salad washer, specifically this one
After running your film through whatever wetting agent you’re using, pull out the reels and toss them into that. Give it a few spins (it’ll pull out as much residual water that it can) remember, keep the film inside the reels.
Once done, pull them out and use u/youngyyoungyoung method for drying.
Get yourself some Woolite and a salad spinner. Hand wash in your sink according to the directions on the garment tag and then pop it in the salad spinner to help speed up the drying process.
I found the secret to shredded hash browns is separating the water. The secret to separating the water is a salad spinner.
Also remember that potato dishes need salt.
Just buy a salad spinner. I've tried several and settled on this one. It's a bit pricy but very good, don't waste your money on others that are flimsy or difficult to use or too small or don't spin fast enough:

Unlined or molded/padded/foam bras? I have an older version of this one which a quick check shows would work ok (wire width is the limiting factor with the wires on Panache Tango needing slightly squeezed in to fit) for my bras in UK 34K. I can't stand thick bras so all of mine are unlined and I'm not sure it would work for padded or foam bras without damaging the cups.
I have no idea what make mine is.. there's no markings on it.
Id go for something like this bad boy.
The clips on top look pretty spiffy.
Would a 5 gallon salad spinner work?

I think everyone could use a salad spinner.
I might have a solution for you because I was thinking EXACTLY the same thing:

Get some custom foam made with holes so that you can put the bottles in there and then into the basket.
How effective is this? It looks like its going to get messy

Pick up this Ikea salad spinner and you'll never have wet herbs again.
