I would never refrigerate my tomatoes. Even if you let them come back
to room temp the loss of flavour is tangible.

In summer, when I have a glut, any that are getting to the soft stage
get chopped and frozen awaiting the next lot of tomato preserves.

In winter we can get excellent truss tomatoes of several different
varieties and I only buy enough each week to use. We like salads, even
in winter, and if they are looking like not getting used I will cook
them in something, make toasted sandwiches, slice them on toast etc
etc.
