I know, cool dry place, and it depends on your climate, etc. But what is your experience?

    I live in a desert so extremely low humidity and the pantry area is often over 80. I’ve used potatoes over a month after buying them many times. I still use them for myself if they have small sprouts. I usually don’t see mold until closer to two months in. If I’m cooking for others I’ll buy fresh. Our local grocer has a very small selection of produce so I tend to buy a bunch of the nicer ones if I see they’ve restocked since the next grocery store is about an hour away. When I lived in the city though I’d only buy what I planned on using within the next couple days. More trips but always fresh.
