Celery stalks and carrot sticks can be kept from wilting and will stay fresh much longer by storing in bowls or glasses of ice water rather than just left laying dry in the fridge.

Lettuce that is already cut does not do well in water. To keep a salad with lettuce in it for a couple of days use Romaine and other sturdier varieties instead of Iceberg type. Also, do not put dressing on the salad until ready to serve. Remove excess water from advanced washing by paper towels or better yet - a salad spinner. It is the water that weighs the salad down and makes the lettuce soggy.
