I have found myself needing to purge too much out of the fridge recently too. 2 more grocery bags of old stuff made it out this week! (Somebody ~might~ have just finished cooking their Pot Roast @ 3a.m. to combat that! ) ~~~~~ If you haven't joined us yet in the Clean Fridge Challenge, there's still time!

I'm jumping on the bandwagon--I cleaned my fridge! This was the first time I had no spoiled food to toss. Everything was current! No idea how that happened, actually. Wiped down all surfaces inside and out, organized everything. I didn't do anything with the freezer, but I did organize it a couple months ago, and it's still ok-ish.

Came home from Costco and cleaned out some outdated things from fridge as I was putting things away. Found one shelf with sticky something on it, was able to take out just that one shelf, washed it in hot soapy water, dried it and put it back. Hooray, clean shelves! I had a large container of plain yogurt and a large container of sour cream that expired five and six months ago! Don't know how I missed them before.

joyinvirginia, purging the old, cleaning a sticky spill, & tossing an overlooked, expired product! ~~~~~ I still have more to do to complete this challenge. Hopefully there will be a break in the weather so that I can purge more of my old stuff before trash pickup! ~~~~~ Just a few more days before this challenge ends!

Sidestep, you should run this challenge for one week out of every month, or something. Because, to my complete surprise and horror, even when I clean my fridge, after a while IT GETS DIRTY AND I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN! Diane

Coming in just before the finish line here...my fridge is clean! Used mindfulness while cleaning a million sticky ridges on the plastic lower shelf, used patience when I accidently tipped the vegetable drawer full of water all over the counter and floor. I almost want to call my younger son to let him know I finally threw out the hot sauce that my older sister brought me back from Key West 15 years ago. Was keeping it as a souvenir. Drove him nuts to see it in there when visiting. Down to two jars of beets.
Thank you sidestep! This challenge kept me accountable for this task, and I did it!

folks for keeping at it. Since I have not gone grocery shopping for over two weeks the fridge is really empty right now so while I was washing dishes I also wiped it out and it's all clean and ready for my new food when I finally get the motivation to actually go to the store.

Congrats & good thinking casper, on wiping out the fridge while empty to be ready for new groceries! ~~~~~ I managed to get one grocery bag of fridge ookies out in time for garbage pickup this a.m.! Is anyone else left working on the Clean Fridge Challenge, or am I the last straggler?! ~~~~~ There's still a little more time! It doesn't end 'til midnite tomorrow nite!

My fridge has stayed clean. It's very exciting! The counters haven't faired as well, but they're not too terrible.
