Not like, say, bananas that are already past it by the time you get them home. And not things like pineapples which are far too large to eat as a snack?

I know the answer to this one!!!!! What you need to do when you buy fruit, to preserve the life of them, is to wash them in a little Milton solution. Sounds strange? If you go along to your local boots or pharmasist you can read on the label that it can be used in washing fruit for the above reason. You have to wash with water prior to consumption but I believe it does work as it kills off the bacteria on the surface of the fruit which can lead to mucor or penecillum, I think. I think most fruits can be washed in this way, if not all of them.

Apples or pears last a fairly long time, if your hungry for bananas only buy 1 or 2 at a time, oranges are a longer lasting fruit too. If you are alone in your household buy your fruit by the piece not by the bag

All fruit will stay fresh longer if you keep them away from BANANAS
I know you will think I am MAD but these BAD boys are actually scientifically proven to accelerate the ripening process of all other fruits
even the Spiky Pineapple and the Sturdy Orange have no powers, it is like the feckin' things have kryptonite in them

Depends on the fruit. Apples will keep a long while if wrapped in newspaper and store in dark, cool place. Most fruits on sale are so pumped with preservatives, not worth storing. Get the fruit, organically grown and avoid light & heat & they will keep. Bananas must be hung to keep fresh.

Canned fruit, can last up to a year, I would also go for the dried fruit variety for increased shelf life, but apples probably take the award for longest lasting counter fruit

Apples. Too bad about the taste.
And dried fruits, of course. Dried papaya, etc., can make very tasty snacks.
