Refrigerators have a way of collecting stuff that doesn’t get eaten. It’s important to remember that most foods have a shelf life even if they seem to last longer. This is especially true of condiments, which often spend far more time in your refrigerator than they should.

Today, spend a little time reading the labels on the foods and condiments in your fridge. Then, clear out the old stuff to make room for fresher, healthier foods.

I try to do this once a week on trash day … but I”ll have to check the condiments – they might be due for a little clean up.

I did this and was amazed at the amount of old condiments i had in the fridge. Shameful waste – but at least the packaging was recycled!

Since I hadn’t eaten ketchup in a really, really long time, I actually opened the bottle and smelled it. Whoa! It smelled like vinegar. I was pretty surprised.

I not only cleaned out my fridge but also filled it back up with healthier items!
