Olives and pickles are essentially preserved, so the lifespan will naturally be longer. When stored in the fridge, opened olives can last 4-6 months and are usually safe to eat up to 3 months past their expiry date. Opened pickles, however, can last up to 1-2 years in the fridge!

Celery, Broccoli & Lettuce

Wrap them in aluminum foil and store them in the fridge. This ensures they stay fresh and crispy for 2-3 weeks!

Apples

When you leave fresh apples on the counter, they usually last for about a week. However, apples stored in the fridge can last up to 6 weeks! A tip for you though, if you notice them being soft, wrinkled or oozing liquid, throw them away because this could be a sign of toxic mold.

With all these ingredients that can be stored in the fridge/freezer for a long time, I’m sure you’re now able to plan ahead and buy only what you need.
