How to keep vegetable and fruits from spoiling?

* You could put them in plastic bags in your refrigerator. * Actually, plastic bags tend to spoil vegetables faster, because they trap moisture and gases. The best way to keep vegetables fresh is to not overstock them, buy only what you need or want until the next trip to the store and use paper towels, paper bags, or nothing to wrap them in. Paper towels work well on leafy vegetables; paper bags work on tubers, such as potatoes and carrots.
