Pickles
Yup! You can leave pickles OUT of the fridge. They are loaded up with preservatives so even if they stay out for three years, makes no difference. There’s no smell or spoiling so save yourself the fridge space and shelve the pickles.
Potatoes
Potatoes need to be kept in a cool, dry and dark space at all times. The cold temperatures of the refrigerator will only cause the starch within to turn into sugar faster. Be sure to take the potatoes out of the bag you bought them in when you get home!
