Food storage tips from Page Six grocery guide
Store meats by wrapping and labeling for freezing and use perishables first. Rinse most produce before use, keep mushrooms wrapped, parsley upright, avoid refrigerating bananas and tomatoes, store grains in closed containers, and keep dairy in order of freshness. High volume stores rely on turnover, urban costs rise, and save register tapes for tax deductions.
