I just did this a couple of days ago, and now my fridge is bare...
I am going grocery shopping first thing tomorrow tho, then will have a full fridge agian

There is a simpler method.

1] Don't remove anything unless it has started to move.

2] If 1] happens, leave the door open for a few days and let it remove itself.

3] Notify local HazMat team of a ambulatory food sighting in your neighborhood.

Ya'll are hilarious!
Melinda ~choosing happiness~ S. Nov 15, 2007, 8:48am UTC
I'm ignoring this one, Bundy!

Stephanie A. (On vacation) Nov 15, 2007, 8:58am UTC
I am boycotting. Sometimes you just have to take a stand. :-)
Ashley B. Nov 15, 2007, 8:59am UTC
Just did this last night
Trish A. Nov 15, 2007, 9:05am UTC
Aren't there supposed to be elf's that do this?
Brenda (square peg in a round hole) H. Nov 15, 2007, 9:30am UTC
Oh man...do I have to? Those are my science experiments. I'm working on a cure for Gatheritis. Oh well, I really don't want to be cured from that anyway, so I guess I'll go clean out the fridge.
Marie L. Nov 15, 2007, 9:35am UTC
Well, I can't possibly do this since I'm at work all day -- see, I have an excuse! And when I get home I'll be far too busy taking care of the kids to clean. And then I'll be too tired. So, darn it, I'll just have to do it another day :-) I hate cleaning! :-)
Robin"Buffy's Stunt Double" D. Nov 15, 2007, 9:52am UTC
Thanks for the reminder. I opened the fridge, held out a garbage bag and things just started jumping in!LOL I hate finding little leftover surprises but it's a job that must be done
Bundy P Nov 15, 2007, 10:07am UTC
So true...
Danielle P. Nov 15, 2007, 10:28am UTC
Oh man....I cleaned out mine yesterday.
G. M. Lupo Nov 15, 2007, 10:38am UTC
I don't store a lot of food in my refrigerator, so there's nothing to clean out.
Jennifer G. Nov 15, 2007, 10:45am UTC
Guess I'd better get started! This could take a while! LOL!
Roxanne H. Nov 15, 2007, 10:54am UTC
I clean out mine every Thursday night because Friday is trash day.
Bundy P Nov 15, 2007, 11:04am UTC
So organized!
Gnash Chick Nov 15, 2007, 11:23am UTC
Oh how funny! I just cleaned out both refrigerators - scrubbed 'em till they shone.

I'd like to win a design consult for this sad bathroom. Please Vote for me!
Sue * Nov 15, 2007, 12:04pm UTC
Well, this isn't a fun day...I'm not going to play!
Beaker (just Beaker) Nov 15, 2007, 12:53pm UTC
Wait--ya mean I'm supposed to leave that crap in back for a whole year? I clean it out every week. Except for the weird little jars of onions, capers, mysterious brown gloop [label missing], and maraschino cherries. Those will still be there when I die, no doubt. And still mighty tasty!
Heather W. Nov 15, 2007, 12:57pm UTC
I'm scared to clean out my refrigerator. No telling what's lurking behind the pickles.
Andrea "slackermom" R. Nov 15, 2007, 3:09pm UTC
I do this once a week. Are there seriously people out there who only do this annually?
Pher B. Nov 15, 2007, 3:45pm UTC
Mom made me help her clean out ours a few weeks ago...
Cristina S. Nov 15, 2007, 4:19pm UTC
Well, haven't been shopping for a week, it's almost empty right now, lol!!
Wilma M. Nov 15, 2007, 5:27pm UTC
Well come on over and do it, please!

Actually, I live alone and it would be pretty easy to clean my frig out. There's not a lot there!

I like John Phillip's ideas!
Larry H. Nov 15, 2007, 6:02pm UTC
It was cleaned out a few weeks ago.
Brian T. Nov 15, 2007, 7:09pm UTC
I still got a pizza and some left over Chineese food from over a week ago. I better get busy!
Emma L. Nov 15, 2007, 7:18pm UTC
Mine is empty right now, anyway!
Nancy O. Nov 15, 2007, 10:03pm UTC
mine isnt very crowded so I guess I won't have to clean it out yet !!!
Jerri H. Nov 16, 2007, 12:05am UTC
Nope....not gonna do it no way....besides there is still room ;)
Sheila Deeth Nov 16, 2007, 12:32am UTC
Now that makes sense.
donna h. Nov 16, 2007, 9:19am UTC

Phyllis R. Nov 16, 2007, 5:08pm UTC
