13. Avocados

When avocados are too hard or too soft, they are not good, so it can be tricky to pick them at their ripeness peak. Underripe avocados are like biting into raw potatoes, and overripe avocados are mushy and blackened. You should only refrigerate avocados if they have gotten ripe but you aren't yet ready to use them. A couple of extra days can be bought by doing that.

14. Berries


After picking, berries don't last very long, so it's best to buy them on the day you want them rather than storing them.
Even so, if you intend to keep berries for a few days, it's better to store them in the fridge rather than the counter. When they become wet, most of them become moldy very quickly, so never rinse a whole carton and then store it.
