You've got to know how to store produce. Eliminate as much air as possible, keep away from light, get rid of excess water, don't grab produce by your bare hands if you can help it, and use a clean knife if you cut into it and save the other half. You also got to know how to pick produce, especially the stuff to be eaten fresh. Everybody goes and tries to buy the ripest that they can, but I try to stagger it a bit - pick out some ripe, some that will take a day or two to ripen, some thats even under ripe.
