how full do you keep your fridge?

Post » Tue Sep 22, 2015 5:47 pm

so, I was at a buddy's earlier today playing some old fighting games (off topic, but would anyone else love a new Bloody Roar title?) and asked if he had anything to eat, he told me to help myself to the fridge, and his fridge was packed with just about everything you could think of..

I get back to my apartment, and all I have in my fridge is some milk, some left over stew, a couple slices of Bacon, a carton of eggs, and a few cans of beer.. people are usually pretty shocked at how empty my fridge is.. but i really only buy food for whatever i plan to cook that day..


do you keep you fridge fairly stocked?

My fridge is always packed with tons of leftovers because I always accidentally cook double of what I can actually eat.

Right now there's very little in the fridge as I'm gonna get my kitchen renovated in a few hours. But even on normal days it's unusual I use more than 25% of the space in it, so it's fairly empty. Unlike my parents fridge cause my mom always keep that one 100% full :tongue:

Not really.

I usually just shove microwave meals and fizzy drinks (soda) in it.

I keep relatively little in my reefer. In fact up until some time last year I had gotten by with a small office-size unit with tiny freezer compartment. It was just large enough to hold a week's worth of groceries with no room to spare for added 'luxury' food items. It served me well for a number of decades but finally deteriorated beyond salvation. I originally thought to replace it with another mini-fridge, but found no modern small reefer that met my needs. My new unit is modestly full-size. It looks pretty barren in there. I've read that a fully stocked reefer is more efficient and am thinking to added containers of water to eat up some of the dead space.

We munch our way through it until it starts to empty. Then we buy more stuff to fill it up. Sometimes we buy too much. Our poor old fridge is on its last legs though, so we give it a helping hand by putting bottles of water and stuff in before it gets too empty and starts struggling to stay cold.

I doubt if any of the contents is especially novel: vegetables, meat, cheese, milk, leftovers, beer, soft drinks. Not exactly a litany of exotic wondrousness.

No mould? Every beery fridge should have some suspicious blue-green patches in it, since it'll have also been used to keep half-eaten kebabs, bits of pizza etc which won't be disposed of until they're suitably ripe. Hmm, bad memories of "the mature Brie incident". That really ponged.

Nah, no mold, I clean it regularly. :P Unless we're counting that time I spent a month one summer working in a different city, my flatmate didn't clean the fridge once during that time and I swear to christ the food looked at me funny when I opened the fridge.

Brita water pitcher, milk and a couple of condiments is all you'll usually find in my fridge...sometimes leftovers or baby carrots.

I mainly have some milk, juice, tea, and a water purifier/dispenser in there. Cheese in the bottom left, vegetables in bottom right. Some yogurt. Some leftovers containers here or there.

Though I usually joke with my wife that most of the time we have the "Fight Club Fridge". "Fridge full of condiments but no real food."

I remember there being a refrigerator in the garage a few years back at the house which no longer exists there was a brain in the freezer and it wasn't opened for about a month after it was broken/off can't really remember. Did loose a good chunk of food when that house got flooded 2 years ago freezer and refrigerator were unplugged for a week or two

We eat all of our meals at home so the fridge is always stocked but the bane of my existence is the tiny freezer. Once a month I do a huge cooking spree, making several dishes. It ends up being about 60 servings of food, individually packaged in ziploc bags and containers. It takes some serious Tetris skills to get all of that stuffed in there. Stupid ice maker we never use takes up so much blasted space. I could fit a roast turkey in the leftover space if it were gone.

I say this to myself on a weekly basis. Never quite seems to change though... :liplick:

My fridge is chock full. Always is. I don't keep it full, though, or get any say in the contents. My job is to carry bags of fridge contents from shops and remove the boxes from boxes of wine so the bag will fit in the fridge.

I try to keep my fridge filled mostly with drinks like sodas, tea, milk, sandwich meat and cheese as well as bread, sugar and cereal. My pantry is where I keep the food of kings....Romane Noodles and can veggies.

My fridge is usually pretty full, but that is because I fill it with too much beer and don't throw away leftovers as often as I should. :yuck:

Mine's usually fairly empty. Some condiments, some sodas and a few leftovers for the most part. I try not to cook more than what will last me a few days, a week at most. Otherwise I lose track and start seeing all kinds of "interesting" science experiments popping up in there.

Ours is fairly well stocked, but it is mostly condiments like ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles, jelly, etc. There is just about always milk, eggs, yogurt, fruits and vegetables and a Brita water pitcher.
