I'm of the 'don't ever put a tomato in the refrigerator' school. It
kills the flavor I'm looking for in a tomato. And it never comes
back.

I'm in NY so I can only get farm fresh tomatoes about 4 months out of
the year. Most come from my garden after mid-July.

After about mid-October, I might buy a box of South American cherry
tomatoes for color-- but if I want flavor, I use canned tomatoes.
