The Fridge List

There's alot to keep in a well stocked kitchen, so I've decided to divide the list up based on where the food is kept. Different foods are typically kept in specific places because of their storage requirements. I'm going to try and put things where their shelf life is optimal.

Here's a list of the things you'll want to pick up for your fridge, while you need them be careful not to buy so much that your fridge rots before you've eaten half of it. No need to be able to fill a swimming pool with your extra apple sauce, so take how long they'll last into consideration. For instance, unless you bath in it, most won't take an entire gallon of milk to themselves, particularly if there are other drinks, like beer, in there as well.

Universal Items-Every kitchen needs these or some equivalent because they are so commonly used in cooking, or as condiments for other dishes.

• Milk
• Cheddar Cheese
• Eggs
• Ketchup
• Mayo
• Mustard
• BBQ Sauce
• Beer
• Salsa(mild)
• Tabasco(to spice it up)
• Butter-This can also be stored in the freezer or pantry. I'd recommend getting a four pack and keeping one stick in a butter dish on the counter and the rest in either the fidge/freezer depending on how long it takes you to eat it.

Personal Preference-If you like it, buy it. Otherwise pass in favor of something else

• Apple Sauce-The jar is cheaper, but the packs are easier to clean up
• Yogurt
• Hot Dogs
• Lunch Meat
• Baby Carrots
• Tomato(or two)
• Lettuce
• Spinach
• Cream Cheese(for bagels)
• Jam of some sort...I prefer strawberry.
• String Cheese
• Pickles
• Orange Juice
• Apple Juice
• Soda Pop
• Sour Cream

If anyone can think of any vital fridge items that I've left out, please leave them as a comment. But keep in mind that this is a list for someone who rarely, if ever, actually cooks.
