My sparse fridge
As mentioned in the previous post, it is grocery day tomorrow. The funny thing is though, you could open my fridge up the day I've done the shopping and it wouldn't look a lot different! I make so much from scratch these days that there really isn't the need to refrigerate a lot. We make our milk up from powder daily and I buy my butter in our organic co-op and it's frozen in 1kg lumps. The only thing that will be added to the fridge tomorrow will be a 1kg block of cheese for the fortnight and a carton of eggs (I still buy 1 dozen a fortnight as well as eating the eggs from our chooks). Any meat that I buy is separated into meal portion sizes and frozen. I think our fridge size is an overkill really.

Good on you! I hate the amount we are spending on groceries at the moment, and the amount of time! Being preggers, sick and working at night I just can't face the whole from scratch thing, but I know that when I did it is was actually a much nicer way of living and not hard work at all. Not sure about the powdered milk though ... yuck! maybe you need a cow!
Yeah, it's interesting with the milk. If made up with the exact amounts and chilled it tastes just the same. The thought of powdered milk used to make me feel ill, and I think the problem was not measuring it properly. A cow would be awesome!
When my kiddos were little and we used sooo much milk, I used powered milk as well. My oldest was quite curious when I was breast feeding the baby as to just how the milk got from the box to inside the mom...*: )
Hi
Just wait till N is a male teenager - then your fridge will be full on day of shopping only grin.
Love Leanne
Wow. My fridge is always stuffed. Getting a week's worth of veggies at once from the CSA is part of the reason, but I also make tons of condiments that, once opened, need to be refrigerated. I panic a little when we talk about getting the really efficient fridge that's much smaller...
Recent photo of my fridge's contents here - hm, a little less crowded becasue it's from the day before the CSA.
LOL Nancy!
Leanne, I suspect you will be right!
Chile, hmmm, we don't really eat a lot of condiments and haven't really gotten into making any as yet but can see how they would certainly fill the fridge when I do.
Your fridge will use less energy if you keep it full, though. You don't need to fill it with food, but a few big jugs of water would do the trick.
Our fridge looks exactly the same way! I make so many things fromm scratch anymore there isn't much in the fridge. It's either canned or in the freezer!
