Fresh your just going to have to buy it.
The problem with that is when you get a hankering for the stuff you have to go to the store.
The good thing about the stuff is there isn't one part of the plant that cant be eaten from the roots to the seeds.
In all honesty I would spend the money on the herbs that are expensive not cilantro.

Yeah, it's cheap for sure. I was never able to use enough of it to even buy a bunch because it would go bad in the refrigerator. Now, I grab a mason jar, put some water in it, add my cilantro and cover with a ziploc bag, leaving it open for air. Put it in the refrigerator and even two weeks later I am still cutting pieces off of it for one recipe or another. You can do that with other herbs too, but I will be growing it in the garden now, to bring in the good bugs, lol.
