I favour a lower-tech approach. Buying only what you need until you can shop again, wrapping produce in tea-towls, using the the most short-lived produce first, and making soup/compote with produce that's past its best… idealistic perhaps! On a more technical front I beleive it's best not to put fruit (tomatoes) in the fridge with greens, and to keep fruit well ventilated.

I'm talking 10 day old broccoli, week-old lettuce- all fine and dandy and tasting good. Also, these bags aren't throw-aways, so they reduce plastic bag garbage- I just rinse mine out with water and let them dry and they've lasted for over two years now!
