I *hate* when that happens! I am cheap AF so get annoyed when something goes to spoil like that.

That drives me crazy because I would try to salvage the items, but they say you can't save moldy food. I might have carved out the bad parts of the sweet potato, but I know that's never fun playing doctor just to see how deep the infection goes.

In the future, could you put room in the freezer towards keeping the pitas? No idea how to preserve the potatoes though, short of finding a root cellar-like environment for them.
