    Tomatoes will be fine in the refrigerator ( the vegetable drawer) for quite a while. If they are firm/ to med. soft to the touch. If they are softer, you can slip the skin off, boil, or puree to make other foods, eg. soups, sauces or dips with a tomato base.

    Unless the tomatoe skins have sign of wrinkling, they should be still firm, then they are fine.

    Very best answer for future, is place tomatoes out of bag in an air tight container. they will last quite a while and much better than in the bag in fridge next time.

    Tomatoes can last a long time in the fridge.. as long as they are not too soft or moldy they will be fine.. to be sure just take a small taste from them before you use them.

    Sure they are! You've used your first detection of inspection, site! Longevity of tomatoes are not so simple, it depends on what type/kind of tomatoes you have, how you store them, how you are going to use them, what temperature you are storing them in, what stage of ripening when purchased and how you like them! I purchase a myriad of tomatoes, which on any given day, can last for 4 days to also, 2 weeks. With all that in mind, I say trust your gut...........if they look and smell good, they should be fine. I hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
