In my fridge is milk, yogurts, cheese slices, laughing cow cheese spread, half a cooked chicken, leftover stuffing and veg from yesterday, salad stuff, three carrots, jar apple sauce, jar tartar sauce, tomato ketchup.

I tidied up the M & S Salted Caramel Sauce in my fridge, spoonful by delicious spoonful. My fridge has milk, orange juice, cheese, yoghurts and a few things in tupperware pots waiting to be thrown out.

Stuff left over from Saturday's party. I can't in all conscience throw it away yet. I'll just wait until it starts to move grow green whiskers look sad, then I can chuck it out with a clear conscience.

We have a smaller fridge now that it's just the two of us. Some days it's half empty, some days there is not enough room. Can't win!

We also have a cold 'cupboard' which doubles as a garage!grin. Works very well if things are tightly sealed.

Beer and Wine mainly

Not a great deal in mine at the moment. Pesto, mayonnaise, butter and low fat spread, ditto soft cheese. Aubergine, tomatoes and mushrooms waiting to be made into a dish (with various other veg which are lurking in the freezer) which I will divide into four and freeze three.

Wish I could send you some! Ice cream with stewed apples is lovely.

I've got ice cream to go with that grin

Lots of stewed apple which I made yesterday from the many apples on the ground rather than on the tree. Shall freeze some today.

Stop showing off grin

Like you Soutra, I have jams, pickles, chutneys, brown and tomato sauces. Goose fat, butter (salted and unsalted), soft marge, ham, cheese, fruit, tomatoes and not much else in the salad drawers. I do have a cold cupboard but it's in the utility room so I only really use it for tins etc. I do keep eggs in the fridge. I used up all the veg yesterday so need to go shopping today!

There is also a tub of DD's salted caramel sauce and I think it is shouting for me to liberate it!!

I think this sound fairly common. I still keep my eggs in the fridge but get them out in good time if making a cake. I usually have lots of sald and veg, soft fruit like mangos and melons, yogurts, cheese (in a special cheese thingy from Lakeland ) on the bottom shelf, left overs like some rice pudding and cold pork from yesterday. I seem to need a huge fridge even though there is only two of us as I rarely use a tin except baked beans about once a fortnight (jacket pot and beans for my dinner if DH is out at Bowls). Oh yes and wine and chocolate!!

I have just defrosted the fridge, thrown away a load of rubbish and restocked it.
What is left? Milk and orange juice in the door, assorted jams and chutneys, soft spread, hard marge for baking, a jar of goose fat and at the bottom in the "salad" drawer, too many potatoes, some carrots and the inevitable onions. If I had a mouseproof cool larder I would scarcely need a fridge. I don't keep eggs, tomatoes or fruit in the fridge so why do I have a huge one?Or are the empty shelves telling me to hie me to the shops?
