Di, I'm glad you'll be joining me in the newly extended Clean Fridge Challenge! Lookout little rubbermaid food coffins, your days are numbered! ~~~~~ I managed to get a few large items purged from the fridge last p.m. While there are more to go, these fridge dishes/pans will keep me busy for now! Congratulations & good work to everyone who has participated in the Clean Fridge Challenge so far!

Got back home from Costco last night and before putting everything away, discarded old leftovers and some outdated yogurt (February 2015!) Outdated items are all gone!

Please note, illuminatedmayhem, turkeyhill, Arid, et al, *** The Date Has Been Extended!!!**Clean Fridge Challenge ends @ midnite Mon. 8/15 August 31st!** Thank you all for your continued participation!
I knew there was *something* August 15th! I couldn't remember what! Wow I'm very relieved! When I saw I was tagged I thought oh no have not done the drawers yet! This made my day! Tonight I did a quick grab of throw away in the fridge and decided to throw away the plate that was saved with last nights dinner. We have enough plates and I was not up to washing it. I decided I'm not going to accept food with containers I have to give back to others ever again!

I did it! The fridge has been purged and wiped down, the poor sealing storage containers are gone, the good ones are washed, and all my fresh produce put up!

joyinvirginia, Belated on getting the outdated items & old yogurt out of the fridge! Nice job! turkeyhill, Belated on giving yourself amnesty to toss the plate. Enforcing your own rules about not accepting food from others that requires you to clean & return the container it came with sounds like a good plan! Well done on getting to empty/clean those fridge drawers too! openwindows, Belated on purging & wiping down your fridge. That was a great idea to toss those storage containers that didn't seal well while only cleaning & keeping the storage containers with good seals. on getting that fresh produce put up!

This past weekend I was given two plastic dish pans. I put them side by side together on the bottom shelf. This way all the food there doesn't get shoved to the back and forgotten and we can pull out the dish pan to better see what we have down there and remember to eat it.

Bonus for me - cleaned mom's fridge yesterday. Didn't do a lot of "cleaning" but took out three tall kitchen bags of unidentified and expired objects out of the fridge and freezer and wiped it all down. Dumped a few things from the other fridge. All went to the curb this morning. PC

If there is further interest in this challenge, I'll extend one more month to end Wed. Sept. 30th!
Any takers? You won't be alone! Mine could use a more thorough run-thru!

I cleaned mine out a couple weeks ago and used press and seal on the shelves. I saw it on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a go. I need to go through it again and perhaps try the bin idea. I use bins for my island as it is so deep that things get lost. Actually that needs more cleaning (one shelf) than the fridge...

I did some of it. I took out three kitchen bags of old food. I've still got to wipe everything down I need to do this every week. It was really gross. Better today than it was yesterday. Tomorrow will be even better.
