Fridge essentials

I've done a big clean up of my cupboards, freezer and fridge and wondering What would you call fridge essentials?

At the moment in our fridge we have:

Milk
Butter
Pop/Juice
Salad cream (2 bottles - not sure why!)
Eggs
Mustard
Lazy Garlic
Dripping (??? where the hell did THAT come from?!)
Lard
Strawberrys
Blackberries
and Cheese

I know everyone is different but im curious :rotfl:

    My hubby is like this and if i forget to put it in there im in the dog house. He makes a thing of saying as we dont buy it all that often it takes longer to melt this way lol.

    Cheese of all kinds, grapes and cherry toms can always be found in my fridge.

    Discovered this by accident. Sweets like Haribo, cola bottles etc taste nicer if stored in the fridge. Bought some cola bottles a few years ago and they got caught up in the 'fridge bag' and went into the fridge.
  • I always have yoghurts, bacon, salad stuff, coleslaw, milk, cheese, potatoes, carrots, onions, juice, mint sauce, tartare sauce, extra light mayo, eggs and sandwich fillers (ham or beef or tuna etc). I usually have leftovers in there in lock & lock as that is what I have for my lunch each day.

  • Ah see we have Bacon in the freezer, All our vegetables are in the garden growing and we make our own colesaw when we want it.

    DD tends to refuse to eat anything else if she knows we have yoghurts so we tend not to buy these that often as she gets them at nursery too.

    Basics we have to have in my opinion

    - margarine/butter
    - milk
    - Mullier Light Yoghurts
    - Light Mayo
    - Eggs
    - Bit of Chocolate


    Could cope aslong as I had those items.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    Mustard in the fridge?

    We have milk, fizzy water, and butter. They're essentials, everything else is a luxury!
