Now that my environments are a little more to decluttered, taking care of them feels like curating and appreciating what I have. It almost feels like a creative process, and I try to make my spaces beautiful, So interacting with it, even while cleaning, feels enjoyable. It seems like you’re getting there too!

Little by little, all the neurons in our brain are changing. We can start to get Joy and Positive Pride when we clean. I have associated cleaning with judging; it is not enough, so why try. To my mother's screaming and punishment because it was never to her expectations. I have said in the past that I was tried from cleaning her house when I was a teenager. In my own home, we scramble at least once a month, when I was healthy. Now I try doing everything when I am healthier. So, the Moster grows, when I am bedridden, I cute it down when I feel better (of course, if I am mentally OK at the moment).

I’ve started a habit of quickly going over the items in the fridge when I take the bins (I think Americans call them trash cans) out. Ours is collected every week. In Australia it’s too hot to put perishables in your bin until collection day. This way my fridge never collects old food, and just needs a wipe down every so often

I have found that if I opened a package and then used a freezer bag to hold the rest of the items in it and marked the use by date on the bag I knew how much was left (Less wasted food) and when to toss. Most of the time it got used up faster. Also bags take up less space than the boxes.

1st thing - Your kitchen looks great & company ready! We get groceries on Thursday, so every Wednesday I go through our frig & freezer & figure out what needs used and plan meals & the grocery list around those items. Maintenance is so much easier & faster than digging out and you've made tremendous progress with your frig & freezer. I love the idea of using a marker on items with the expiration dates cause then there's no hunting the fine print which can be difficult to locate on some items. Way to go!

I like to put my bags of food, in the freezer, into tubs. Then I can have a fruit and veg tub and a meat one it stops anything from falling over, makes it easier to get to them, without bits falling out, and keeps it in a box form keeping it neater. It’s just an idea for you with having an unshelled freezer.

What helped me clean my fridge more is to realize I don't have to do it all at once. Say for example I notice a spill in one part. I'll clear that shelf out (good time to declutter just enough to make stuff fit on the other shelves) then stick that shelf in the dishwasher. Added bonus: the fridge door doesn't need to be open for very long.

It’s what I’ve been doing and helps me be creative in meal prep. Just a suggestion 🎉cheers dear.

Since this inflation started, we clean out one basket every few days. We have two baskets per shelf and three shelves. We changed from putting meat in by months. We now have a chicken basket, a beef basket, a pork basket. An extra basket for use up first. Then processed potatoes and chicken on bottom shelf. Pullout basket we put in frozen veggies. This is working so much better than doing it all at once. One basket every few days. This is our best system yet! We can keep stockpiling on sale meat if there is room. So much easier! We are also keeping just a few condiments, one plate/bowl of leftovers, use up space, milk, eggs, dairy. May get a small dorm sized feig if these utility prices keep rising to use that money for that instead of so much refrigeration.

I did my freezer a few of months ago. I had to because my freezer isn't frost free and ice gets built up. There was almost more ice than food in it! LOL I know how you feel about getting food poisoning, but did you know that food in the freezer is safe beyond the expiration date. Some of the items that I purchase will say to use by date but say you can freeze it up to # months beyond that date. This is food that wasn't frozen when I purchased it. I do understand if you still want to throw away food that is past it's expiration date. I just wanted to pass on that information.

Such an improvement comparing to the first leaning! Anyway I wanted to share two thoughts... maybe you keep empty containers in the fridge as a reminder to buy more? In that case, maybe a "to buy" list on the fridge or somewhere near with a pen would solve the issue. And frozen food is almost frozen in time, the expiration date roughly applies, even more if we are talking about some weeks after that date. Don't waste food, pleaseeeeee!
