Says that you’re probably more honest than most people on here who stage their refrigerator. Also says that you’re not going hungry 🥰

u/sweet_pickles12 Nov 17 '24

Yup, so much Tupperware

93

u/slimbender Nov 17 '24

With proper lids, too. They are showoffs.

u/riskyplumbob Nov 17 '24

Absolute showoffs because my leftovers are in daisy sour cream containers.

27

u/PYRO1155 Nov 17 '24

We have the same set! I get the 3lb tubs from Sam's Club and they are perfect. I have one full of mashed potatoes in my fridge right now!

Also when I get sandwich meat, I always get the ones that have the bonus container.

I've never bought any storage containers that weren't full of food already.

16

u/riskyplumbob Nov 17 '24

We stopped buying containers for this reason! Most things come in packages of the likes now and there’s no sense in not reusing if you can. It also doesn’t hurt if you send someone a dish and they don’t return it!

24

u/PYRO1155 Nov 17 '24

Exactly! Or if you forget about one that has food in it, and you can see that it has its own ecosystem and wildlife inside, you don't even open it. Just straight to the trash and it's no real loss.

11

u/succthattash Nov 18 '24

God... I'm so guilty of this. I just forget. It's out of sight, out of mind ig lol until I'm hungry, looking for left overs... And open the wrong container and hit with a gas cloud that could knock out an entire country!

10

u/PYRO1155 Nov 18 '24

Lol Sometimes it just gets shoved behind something and lost for waaaaay too long. That's why the ones you can throw away are nice. It's probably not safe to even try to clean some things out. Just throw out the whole thing, and probably have to take the garbage out right then. Like yeah it's not overflowing yet, I haven't smashed it down seven times, but it's a biohazard so it's got to go NOW!

I used to do this until I learned just how cheaply they’re made. How most of them are porous and hold bacteria because of it. How once they’ve been washed 2-3 times they’re basically worse and leeching microplastics into your food.

I ended up buying a set of 4 glass containers, and then 4 smaller ones al with the plastic airtight lock lids or whatever. And bought them both 2 more times and now all of my leftovers go in glass. So even if I do forget to throw it out or it grows its own colony, I can throw it in the dishwasher and be done.

I also LOVE that with glass I NEVER have to scrape food out of the containers. It just glides right out. A simple rinse clears it the rest of the way. Switching to glass has made me so much happier and they’re nice when it comes to reheating food too.

I do the same with the lunch meat containers! I have several empty 'I Can't Believe It's Not Butter' containers and cream cheese container as well.

u/PYRO1155 Nov 18 '24

I use a lot of sour cream to make homemade ranch, so I have those, but I also keep the ranch in empty mayonnaise jars. If a container comes into my house, it's getting washed and reused. I have like 10 pickle jars in my cabinet for when I make pickles. I've never made pickles in my fuckin life! I know I'm equipped if the occasion ever arises. I'll never waste a free container!

u/WalterBlackness Nov 18 '24

This... is a normal fridge? I mean, I get the immaculate fridges that some people post are very clearly after a shopping trip and very well organized... but the Tupperware just thrown about? Drinks sitting on the edge of the shelf..

I would be so worried when opening the door everyday that im going to get a milk shower. Not trying to disparage or out anyone down. Just find it odd that so many people are stating this is "normal." My fridge is never super put together, but it also never looks like a tornado came through the place.

11

u/ifugiveanurseanacho Nov 18 '24

I get what you’re saying. Maybe not normal but common. Most people are very busy working, or could have small children, are elderly, have mental health issues such as ADHD, or physical disability. My fridge looks best when I have enough time to do everything I’d like to be able do. I don’t judge other people for this kind of thing (or really much in general) because I have been there. We could all stand to give a little grace to ourselves and each other.

126

u/Fun-Shame399 Nov 17 '24

So I actually saw a thing about how if you put veggies and produce in the drawers, they’re out of sight and out of mind, so you tend to not use them before they go bad. The solution to make sure you’re eating them is to put something with a longer shelf life and used less frequently, like condiments and such, in the drawers so you can see your produce and actually use it up.

179

u/otakulizardgf Nov 17 '24

This is exactly it!! We keep produce in the door and condiments in the drawers and have seen a significant increase in our veggie consumption since.

My parents fridge is like this, drives me nuts. But ima assume you both work demanding jobs with little time to really deep clean. You also try to cook/eat healthy but don’t have a lot of time to dedicate to it.

The only thing throwing me off is the condiments in the drawers.

20

u/otakulizardgf Nov 17 '24

She works a stressful tech industry job and I work overnights at a local hotel, you're dead correct on us trying to cook and eat healthier but not having a lot of time for it.

However the condiments in the drawers are because when we were putting vegetables and fruits in the crisper they would tend to rot before we got to them, so we put the condiments in the drawers cuz we're more likely to look for one when we need one and the fruits and vegetables go in the door of our refrigerator where we can see them immediately. 100% this is led to us eating a lot more vegetables with our meals.

u/Auelian Nov 17 '24

Might steal the veggie idea. Pretty smart!

And yea. My step mom is a district manager for a large retailer, and my dad is a general manager for another large retailer. It’s super hard for them to keep an organized fridge. They just throw it in, or take it out! To little time to really care. Lol happens, life is busy!

How did you get a picture of my fridge? ..^

u/[deleted] Nov 17 '24

I wanna say you lack organization and clearly live a cluttered life but the reality is this is how most non dirty peoples fridge still looks. It's nice to think every thing looks pristine and perfect on time but most of us simply don't have the time nor energy to worry about things that at the end of the day don't truly matter.

Feel bad about throwing away leftovers but end up throwing them away weeks later anyways cause they end gone bad since you won’t eat leftovers. 🤷🏻‍♀️

the condiments in the drawers is giving ADHD. You guys do a lot of home cooking but you need to have a fend for yourself night where everybody just eats leftovers sometime soon.

That your refrigerator is too small and you spend your time enjoying each other and living, loving and caring and laughing.. to worry about cleaning that refrigerator... r

you like it sloppy and weird

u/Slagenthor Nov 17 '24

Just like me. You probably FUCKING HATE washing those plastic containers. Lol

2

u/Minute_Box3852 Nov 17 '24

You're my spirit animal. The fridge is the forgotten space that needs cleaning. If it's not in the front row, it has been laid to rest and buried in the back to rot in eternity.

Oh and you probably have adhd like me. We love to stack like jenga since the concept of organization is foreign and takes too much time.

u/NoFig9882 Nov 17 '24

Need more fresh produce in your lives.

u/otakulizardgf Nov 17 '24

Fresh produce lives in the door and gets eaten very quickly. Except cucumbers for some reason, they tend to languish

u/bugonglong Nov 17 '24

I am intrigued by bottles and jars in the crisper drawers lol

u/otakulizardgf Nov 17 '24

A couple of years back we started keeping condiments in the crisper drawers and produce in the refrigerator door, which has led to us eating a lot more fruits and vegetables since they no longer go in a drawer to be forgotten and die.

Looks like your wife went to bed early and you put away the leftovers... (Yes I'm projecting lol).

u/Ambitious-Effect6429 Nov 17 '24

Much like my grandma, do your butter tubs actually contain butter or just leftovers?

u/Recent-Industry811 Nov 17 '24

Convenience is the key either you are busy to cook at night or too tired from working too much. Those premier protein shakes are good.

u/Simply_drifting4 Nov 17 '24

You guys probably don’t know how to cook for only two or you make an entire package of a premade meal “just incase” and end up storing the rest because “it’ll be good for lunch tomorrow.” Where you will probably opt to just grab a snack from the fridge on your way out the door and say you’ll be hungry for your leftovers when you get home. You have at least one (probably as many as 3) fend for yourself nights a week. You hate wasting food but if the food has been on the fridge longer than a couple days you more than likely won’t eat it. You both probably have jobs that start later than a 9-5 so you have time to make and eat breakfast in the morning most of the time but by the time you get home you’re too tired to do crazy intense cooking. You like the idea of meal prep but you know you would get bored of the food probably after the first day and who really has time for that

I just know yall have a graveyard fridge, like me and my man. We put leftovers in Tupper and let them die. :'c

Y’all are about as stable as the Tupperware balancing act. (No judgement, I’ve totally been there)

It looks like our fridge aside from the orange juice adds OJ to our shopping list

u/nomiconegut Nov 17 '24

Trying to eat healthy on the go. Honest and doing your best 🙏💛.

I’m all for leftovers, but unless have a bigger brood, I bet some of it’s no good. Food poisoning is not the way to shed those lbs lol

2

u/Dumbbitchathon Nov 17 '24

One of you isn’t very good at picking the right size Tupperware

2

u/GreedyBanana2552 Nov 17 '24

This is the most realistic fridge I’ve seen here! You cook at home unless you’re feeling lazy (but don’t beat yourself up over it). You have a little food waste here and there but overall try to get to fresh items before they turn. Leftovers are great lunches.

2

u/Ijustwanttosayit Nov 17 '24

You have adhd and food blindness. Out fridge looks like this. We have some Tupperware leftovers that my partner has forgotten.

u/unavoidable_void Nov 17 '24

"I put away leftovers so I don't feel so bad that I'll never actually finish what I made except for that one dish that I made and it was AMAZING."

u/FloralPorcelain Nov 17 '24

That you need to give your wife a weekend to herself and while she’s away eat all the leftovers and clean out the fridge for her.

Are those the Aldi meals in the middle? I LOVE THOSE they are a staple in our fridge also.
