Ha, this made me chuckle.

I had two eggs this morning taken from … the fridge door, of course. Will rearrange shortly, although in a 2 and a half person household the fridge is opened sufficiently infrequently to be maintained (possibly) at a slightly lower temperature than Diaper Cakes Becca's fridge door.

I have a different strategy for reducing waste. My partner buys everything in multiple quantities to get discounts before changing her diet on a weekly basis which makes it impossible to plan and ensure that food gets consumed. I continually rearrange the food, moving stuff towards the top and front so that it is presented to the eyes of others but it just gets ignored.

Therefore I don't plan. I give up my preferences for the greater good and have for dinner whatever is left and dangerously close to the eat before date. If I can't keep up with the inexorable supply of nearly off food, I support the local population of foxes and birds by throwing stuff into the garden. If it's not good enough for them, then the rest gets composted so ultimately my garden gets fed too.

I like the cradle2cradle principle and I hope this is also reflecting the thoughts of the food industry.

I’ve heard about the door shelf being the warmest before and now I keep my eggs in the main part of the fridge instead of the door.

I came across your blog this morning and I’m loving this article. I never knew that the area of the door was warmer than the rest – thank you for sharing this valuable information.

Food waste is one of my bugbears AND I sorted my fridge a couple of weeks back and put some changes in place.

The top shelf is now used for things that need using up so they are high visibility.

The salad drawer contains the things that won’t go off for years like the condiments – out of sight, out of mind approach!

As the shelves go down, the importance of using up is less.

At the moment it’s working for us. Last week our food waste amounted to half a bag of rocket which we composted.

I’ve written an article on our site about minimising food waste, which is one of our most read pages. I’m going to add a link to this page, because they work really well hand in hand:

Thanks again for a great post!
