Are we having a Christmas fridge thread this year?

[MisgenderedPaul]

I know every year it gets slated by the ones who click on It to say how awful it is. But don't know if it would be genuinely insensitive?
I'm only asking because I finally have a proper huge fridge for the first time in years 😀

This is my dedicated Christmas fridge. Boring everyday stuff is in my other fridge!

I'm jealous of all the big fridges, I feel a bit inferior now!

Here’s mine as is at the mo, a tonne of stuff in the freezer too. Booze, spare milk and pop in separate fridge in the outhouse!
I love my fridge a little bit too much, the cheese drawer is a thing of wonder and will hopefully be even more full when hubby has been to the deli!

Great pics of your fridges! I won't show mine cos it hasn't got too much in it really as there are just two of us for the big day and we eat out the rest of the time mostly, or make do with leftovers etc. We don't drink alcohol either so that saves space too! But we do have some in a crate outside the back door for visitors just the same!

Anyway as I was organising the fridge earlier and fed up of rooting in the back and things stuffed one on top of the other I got a brainwave (for me anyway as that's rare!). I found some lowish storage baskets in the spare room. Dumped the crap that was in them in a bag and lo and behold they fitted the fridge perfectly. So I can pull out each box/tray and find everything without the whole lot falling on top of my head.

I know we can buy fridge insert boxes now, but I never bothered. I will be after Christmas. Need to get the measurements right.

Would be so much easier if every shelf had a drawer like the salad drawer, and I often wonder why not?

Merry Christmas everyone.

@PreVerbalGerbil this is slightly creepy posting directly after you!!! And I've just started a creepy thread on another topic!!

That’s a bit woo. And yours is looking decidedly more excitingly packed. The almost bare shelf at the bottom is the only one the kids are allowed to touch. Need a rejig but am drinking wine and can’t be arsed don’t want to confuse them!

I give you Xmas fridge and Xmas pantry.

In my defence I have 6 kids. Also I'm hosting Xmas day, boxing and new year and have lots of people/kids/teenagers coming and going who always need feeding/ drinks/ snacks.

Just spotted the photo bombing dog too! He gets the doors opening five miles away

Mrswhites poor you. After a similar incident years ago, I won't do the final shop online. I hope you can get to the supermarket.

Flyinggeesei234 I always prefer to keep potatoes in the fridge. I did an experiment with some in the fridge and some stored in a sack in the garage, and fridge ones lasted way longer and stayed looking good. * *Mind, I would keep just about everything in the fridge, if space allowed.

I am loving having a look at everyone's food choices, and the different fridges. Including store cupboard with dog!

I neeeeed to know which fridge freezer this is?

loving this thread.

That was meant for @AdventFridgeOfShame 😀

Thanks@MisgenderedPaul re the potatoes. Will try that.

Filled with my Christmas shop today, there’s only 3/4 of us and no meat eaters or drinkers so that saves on space but I did the obligatory Christmas fridge clean. Love this thread.

@Maya678 chocolate squirty cream!! I never knew such a thing existed! Kids would love that!

@troppibambini6 now that is impressive!

Ahem

Placemarking!

@TheRealKatnissEverdeen it's usually like this but less food! The storage boxes help, if something spills etc in the dishwasher they go!!

My mums stores them in a drawer and they last ages. I tried the same and they barely lasted a week. Last us aaaaaaages in the fridge!

Is that butter at the top inside the door?

@yaflouloci Yup! I hate having to check for everything every week so I usually buy in bulk where I can... The butter just lives there and when there's a couple left I restock. Same with tins - beans, tomatoes, soups. And chilli, pasta and curry sauces.

It is a Smeg, along these lines shop.smeguk.com/fridges-freezers/fridge-freezers/fq55fxdf-84cm-two-door-two-drawer-fridge-freezer-stainless-steel-effect But I only bought it about two years ago and I am sure it was half the price. It is called French style, have a look around.

Thank you, January sales here I come.

@Honeypickle I approve! Assume you're starting all that lot quite early...Will dinner get cooked 😝

@Dimpous I'll wanna be like you when I grow up!

Here is my masterpiece.
