I'm tempted to get a mini-fridge and set it as warm as I can just for potatoes. Room temperature for me averages 80F or more and potatoes quickly get soft. I think I'd rather risk having a slightly sweet but firm potato than the soft ones I can't, and won't waste. :) — Anonymous	04/22/2013 - 3:49am
I wrap all leafy greens and herbs in a damp tea towel. It takes them weeks to spoil. Make sure towel is always damp though, never wet. — Anonymous	01/17/2013 - 2:38am
I would like to hear from Ms. Meyer what methods she uses to prevent ants, flies, cockroaches and all other manner of insect life from filling her home, when she has all these fruits and vegetables being stored in plain paper bags, or in bowls on her kitchen counter. I'm not being sarcastic, I really would like to know. Please. — Anonymous	03/28/2012 - 3:27pm
Left tomatoes out, it attracted fruit flies. Put it in the fridge instead, and still fresh. — Anonymous	03/26/2012 - 2:14pm
