... how often once you open a big jar. I will admit to a 28 fl oz jar of McCormick Mayonesa con Limon in the fridge. I am meticulous about clean utensils in there as I don't use it often.

Probably once a day.    And with a clean spoon.

I keep my main jar of mayo in the cupboard, and use clean utensils to refill my squeeze bottle as needed. That way no food residue makes it back into the "working" mayo either, so it can also remain at room temp. I have an apartment-sized refrigerator, so space is at a premium.

 

...okay, I also have a fair-sized dorm fridge containing condiments, pickles and such, and a standup freezer the same size as my fridge, but the point holds.

You don’t need to refrigerate commercial mayo unless you're going through it so slowly that it goes rancid. I never seem to have that problem. But I still store my mayo in the fridge for tradition’s sake.
