Cleaning Out Your Fridge
Look, it's a tough job, but somebody has to do it!
Today I will be going to the store to do my bi-monthly shopping.
I have learned over many years that the simple act of cleaning out your
Refrigerator before shopping can and will save you money.
It is so refreshing and inspiring to come home with my groceries and
All the shelves are neat and clean and tidy.
I start with the top shelf and pull everything out from that shelf,
Then I wipe it off and reorganize it!
Every shelf is supposed to have its own placement of each item.
Drinks on the top;
Eggs and my cheese on the second
Jams, relishes and capers and peanut butter etc.
You get the idea!
I have a shelf for just my leftovers as I know just where
To grab something for lunch or for my Hubby's lunch.
This alone saves me money, as we are not wasting them!
I have a rule in my Fridge
(After Four days, it's OUT, It goes in the chicken bowl!)
If you have ever had food poisoning??
You will understand the importance of this RULE!
After cleaning each shelf you can put a sheet of paper towel down
On the one that holds your vegetables and fruit.
Always put the meat that your defrosting in a bowl!!
(If you eat meat)
After awhile everyone learns where certain things go,
It stops even me from standing there with the door opened looking
For the elusive item :)
A Clean Fridge Is a sign of a good homemaker!
Now, Don't get me wrong!
My Fridge can get to be a mess pretty quickly!
So, this is why I make a point to clean it out before each time I go shopping.
I also think a clean Fridge inspires me to cook (Really!)
