Though it seems unusual, keeping sponges in your refrigerator might transform the way you keep fruits and vegetables. Many of us have problems with our refrigerators, especially in the crisper drawer, which may hasten fresh food withering and rotting caused by too much humidity. But a basic home item—the sponge—can provide an unanticipated fix for this issue, extending the freshness of your fruits and veggies and thus saving you money.

A pair of sponges in the fruit and vegetable drawer will help to drastically lower the humidity level, therefore providing a more fit habitat for fresh food storage. This technique prolongs the crispness and freshness of fruits and vegetables by means of which they remain.
