    Full Today as did the shopping yesterday but normally empty on a Saturday. We don't use cupboard stuff really, so don't have jars tins etc.

    Eat from the fridge and restock each week. We only do one shop a week.
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    Medium full it's a family sized fridge and just the two of us now, we don't buy as much as we used to do. It comes in handy at Christmas etc to have a bit more room. We both have the same attitude to removing empties from the fridge..

    I do my shopping every two weeks and it's not due till Wednesday so it's nearly empty. The freezer is quite full.

    I don't waste anything if I can help it. If I buy vegetables and can't plan a meal for them then I'll freeze them.

    Lettuce is probably the worst item for me. I only want a few leaves and really would just prefer to get 1 head of little gem lettuce instead of the two they supply in the supermarket. Lettuce can't be frozen and be crispy again so it tends to get wasted. I know I can make some dishes with frozen lettuce but I don't really like squidgy soft shallow fried lettuce.

    Full, but that's because half of it is animal food and medications.

    We two humans only have one shelf each and half of mine is Diet Coke and chocolate :p
    I've never thought of keeping chocolate in the fridge. :huh:

    I always keep my chocolate in the fridge as I like it hard. DH prefers it soft almost to the point of melting, so leaves his out.

    I always keep chocolate and chocolate coated stuff like biscuits in the fridge - I like chocolate to have a bit of snap rather than being soft. Also, even dark chocolate seems too sweet at room temperature, but then I don't have much of a sweet tooth.
