Pickles
Yup! It is possible to leave pickles outside of the fridge. Loads of preservatives are added to them, so even if pickles stay out for as long as three years, it makes no difference. No smell would develop nor spoiling so save the fridge space. Shelve the pickles!
Potatoes
It is necessary to keep potatoes in a dark, dry and cool space all the time. The cold temperatures in the fridge will only make the process of starch turn into sugar, faster. Also, don’t forget to take out the potatoes from the bag they came with when you get to your place!
