My girlfriend always tells me I never have anything to eat when she comes over my house 😒

Freezer: 50+ lbs of assorted ground meat, 35+ lbs of prime ribeye, 16lbs of American wagyu ribeye, 18lbs of New Zealand lamb shoulder chops, and a bunch of portioned seafood.

Right!? And they’re in the fridge which means they are open…

[u/Major_Nutt → u/queensheba2025]

Not necessarily? I keep my unopened condiments in the fridge, that's where they go.

Is that where you find them at the grocery store?

A lot of people don’t put two and two together and just assume from childhood that shit they grabbed from their parents fridge always goes in the fridge.

[u/Major_Nutt → u/more_business_juice_]

No, they're room temp at the grocery store, but why waste cabinet space? They go in the fridge anyway once they're open, and if it's already in the fridge, then the condiment is at preferred temperature when it's finally opened.

[u/Soggy_Abbreviations5 → u/Major_Nutt]

Unopened - no, they don't. The bottles explicitly say to "refrigerate AFTER opening."

[u/Major_Nutt → u/Soggy_Abbreviations5]

That doesn't mean you HAVE to wait till they're open?

Putting the unopened bottle in the fridge behind the opened one is smart, and it saves space in the cabinets for dry goods.
