what do you have in your fridge?

celyn90

My fridge normally contains lots and lots of veg, leftovers, yoghurt, milk, cheese, cheese spread, meat, butter and normally cold pasta/rice/cooked pulses (I don't do accurate quantities of these ).

OH puts everything in the fridge - jam, olives, pickles, eggs, condiments, nutella, which promptly get put back in the cupboards when I go in there. Oddly enough he doesn't see the need to put leftovers in the fridge and will leave them on the side for days if I don't do it Coffee lives in the freezer compartment if I use it, OH always puts it in the cupboard. he hasn't learnt the kitchen is mine (well, apart from the washing up bit )

Milk, red leicester cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan, butter and marge for baking, eggs

fizzy mineral water and OJ, maybe white wine depending

mayo, mustard, garlic vinegar (HM); salad dressings

onions and whatever veg are in. Maybe some fruit.

Usually there's beer that someone has left although neither of us drink it. There's also a bottle of gin and some tonic at the minute too....that'll probably be there forever or till we need the space

does anyone else make an outside fridge to get through Christmas? we always seem to have so much more to store & often get some plastic boxes with lids & store on top of bricks & chuck things like extra drinks/mixers out there plus veg (uncooked)

what do you/would you store in yours???

*also does anyone have an idea where I can store a big sack of spuds?

many thanks

Do you have a garage?
My parents' garage is the alcohol and veg store

boredjellybean

nope no garage, we do have a shed though so I guess I could try that, though you do take your life in your hands even trying to get in there !!!

Yep - I put all drinks in the shed plus vegetables - keeps lovely and cold in there. Altho this year I think we will need to watch out for below freezing temps! That would ruin some of the vegetables. And may have to bring drinks in to warm them up a bit No ice will be needed for drinks this year LOL
