We used to do it with fresh basil all the time. Yeah freezing will allow it to keep for a lot longer. We used to do it with fresh basil all the time.

Then when you want to use it you can just pull the tupperware out, sprinkle as necessary, close and pop it back in. Saves money, time and apparently it isn't too detrimental to taste. Never tried it myself but it's worth a shot. Sorry for the doublepost:

So, I hear ya on the sadness of buying some really fresh mushrooms or peppers or something that you can't -wait- to use only to have them turn brown in the fridge. As for cilantro specifically though... how about putting it in a big bowl of salsa? That way it'll keep a bit longer and if you have friends over you can just bust it out for them to polish off. Does salsa freeze? Maybe you can freeze it.
