Tomatoes
Always store tomatoes at room temperature because the refrigerator will make them rot faster. Just be sure to keep them loose in a bowl away from sun or heat. Tomatoes also don’t like the cold.
So storing them in the fridge will make them lose their ideal texture and flavor. Also, remember this vegetable storage tip: When you leave them on the counter, place them stem-side down because this part of the tomato is the last to ripen.
Herbs
Herbs can get pretty finicky about what they like and what they don’t. But we can’t really blame them. So be sure to separate your herbs into single layers and store them on a piece of dry paper towel.
This prevents moisture build-up from happening. And for an even longer life, seal them in an airtight bag.

Bell peppers keep for a long time in the freezer. Diced, strips or whole. I have had 1 in the freezer for about a month using a freezer container. Not a wrinkle on that baby.
A whole avocado in a container with water to the top will last a long time in the refrigerator as though you just bought it. Make sure you change the water periodically.
