FWIW onions, garlic, bananas and potatoes will last longer outside the fridge. Just don’t put the onions and bananas near each other
Tomatoes can last longer in the fridge, but it completely destroys their taste and resilience to mould, so one turning is going to ruin them all pretty quickly. Kinda a non issue with supermarket tomatoes as they’ve already been refrigerated to the point of tasting like wet lettuce, but if you get your hands on fresh tomatoes, never put them in the fridge.
Also, in a lot of cases, supermarket tomatoes are nowhere close to ripe. Supermarket tomatoes are generally garbage anyway, but if you can give them a day or two to ripen.
Oh yes 100% I’d say that applies to anything that’s been cut tbh, not necessarily always food safety, but anything you’ve sliced is gonna go off pretty quickly if not in the fridge

Same with melons. BIiiiiiiiiig But: melons & tomatoes, once sliced, need to be refrigerated (food safety issue)
