TIP!

Don’t store dairy items like milk or eggs in the fridge door, since this part of the fridge does not stay cold enough.

Always refrigerate cut or peeled produce.

Keep These Separate!

Onions and potatoes, since the onions will make the potatoes sprout faster.
Fruits and vegetables, since fruits like apples and pears release gases that can make veggies spoil.
