1. Bread
There are some people who hold fast to the belief that bread will keep longer in the fridge. It is perfectly fine to freeze bread, but keeping it in the fridge will cause it to very quickly dry out.

2. Onion
Onions need to be kept in an area that allows air circulation. You should also keep them away from the potatoes as this will cause the onions to rot.

3. Potato
Refrigeration is a sure-fire way to kill the flavour of potatoes. Instead you want to store potatoes in a dry paper bag, but not a plastic bag as this promotes moisture and mold.

4. Tomato
If you want to obliterate all of the flavour and texture of a good tomato then refrigerate it. If you want your tomatoes to ripen faster, however, store them out of the fridge in a paper bag.

5. Coffee
When you refrigerate or freeze coffee you are actually going to get a drastically different flavour. This is true for both coffee beans and coffee grounds. The best way to store coffee is in an air tight container in your pantry.

6. Oils
When you put oils, whether it is olive oil or vegetable oil, in the fridge they will actually get thick and begin to look murky and cloudy.

7. Garlic
If you keep garlic in the fridge then you are drastically reducing the lifespan of the garlics usability. After you break the head of the garlic you want to use it within ten days.
•
8. Fruits
Many fruits such as berries, melons, peaches, apricots, nectarines, and apples should be left out of the fridge and kept on a counter in order to let them ripen. If you refrigerate these fruits then you will find that the flavour is greatly diminished.
