Good Morning America did a segment yesterday on keeping groceries fresher by storing them properly. Not only does this prevent food from going bad and growing bacteria/etc., you save money by extending the shelf life of perishables.
One of the most interesting things I heard was that milk should be kept in glass bottles with a good lid -- cardboard is the worst for keeping milk cold and sealing out air. Plastic is better, but glass is best.
Apples and pears give off ethylene gas, so they will cause other vegetables to ripen faster. The segment also gave some guidlines on which fruits and vegetables should and should not be refrigerated.
