I store my potatoes and onions in the refrigerator.  Growing up with vegetables stored in a root cellar at a temperature of about 40 damp degrees it never made sense to me not to put them in the refrigerator.

Usually vegetables and fruit.

Fresh veggies in one , fruit in one , lunch meat & cheese in one and small objects I don't want rolling around( like those little plastic lemons ) in the last one.

I have two refrigerator crispers - I put veggies in one crisper and when I buy my favorite chocolate, I hide it in the other!

Thanks to all for the advice. I actually have a deli drawer too. The fridge is 21 cubic feet, so it's plenty big.The side shelves in the freezer (2) I find useless as they are not wide and my frozen bags of veggies were falling through. I kind of miss my old fridge, but it was 17 years old and to fix it would have been $300 which I thought wasn't worth it.I guess I just have to get use to it.

Lots of lettuce for side salads almost every dinner.  DH's baby carrots and celery.

I hope you enjoy your new refrigerator, Jordan!

I kind of dread the day I have to get a new one.  I do have another one out in the garage that my husband bought from his boss one year.  That guy replaces everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, from the house, cars, furniture, etc, every couple of years.

So, he gave him this French Door refrigerator for $200 and we put it out in the garage.   I don't like it at all.  Even though it is large, it just seems like a lot of space is wasted.  I'll take one like my kitchen refrigerator any time, with the old style of freezer on top (not the old old one, with only one door of course).    

We also have a small chest freezer out there.  The other day my husband saw another small-ish chest freezer for a good price.  He asked me what I thought about buying it.  

I said, are you kidding?   Give me another freezer and I WILL fill up another freezer.   It's enough to try and clear out the 3 freezers I already have!  (no waste, but I tend to keep them somewhere between almost full and totally ful)

I didn't realize I was so conventional -- lol.  Most days one crisper is filled with salad makings.  The other crisper holds fruit and other vegetables.  I only refrigerate onions after using one.  I have never refrigerated potatoes.

2 crispers......one is filled with vegetables and herbs and one is filled with cheeses, olives, and pickles.

Stuff I want to turn into science projects or what I'd like to forget about, lol.

I hate those drawers.
