31 Days of Decluttering - Day #21 - The Fridge

I did this when I got back from vacation (took literally everything out of the fridge, washed all the shelves and the door trays, etc).  I pitched EVERYTHING!!  However, about a month has gone by and the fridge has filled back up.

Here's the "before" photo:

Here's the action steps according to "From Overwhelmed to Organized":

• Throw away any food that has gone bad (e.g. those leftovers that got pushed to the back of the fridge and were forgotten about, those fruits/veggies that you've had for too long, etc.)
• Toss any expired items (condiments, dressings, spreads, etc.)
• Get rid of any food items that you don't like (maybe a new brand of something that no one in the family liked). 
• Eliminate all foods you don't use (like that item you bought for a specific recipe but never used again)
• That should reduce the amount of food in your fridge, but if it's still crowded, see if you can purge any foods that you have more than enough of (give them away to someone you know could use them)

And the "after" photo:

Thankfully, my fridge wasn't too bad to begin with.  I tossed the pizza box and the steak that hubs made last Saturday.  Put some things in the door that belonged there and washed down the shelves real quick and I was done.  The freezer - now that's another day and another issue :).
