I'm sharing a little personal win: Last Thursday, I opened my fridge and realized I had too many eggs! That moment nudged me to do a mini refresh: toss expired items, wipe down a shelf, and organize the space. I even baked lemon bars (my recipe uses six eggs!), so now my freezer is stocked with a sweet reward.
Why bother cleaning out the fridge? It saves money by preventing unnecessary rebuys, reduces food waste by helping you catch things before they expire, lowers daily stress by making meal prep easier, and feels good: small wins boost motivation for bigger projects.
Today, Take 10 minutes to refresh your refrigerator. Toss expired or mystery items. Wipe down one shelf or one drawer. Group similar food items together.
Every small step you take reinforces your capacity for change. It’s not about perfection—it’s about practicing intentional care in the spaces you touch daily.
Share in the comments: What’s the funniest or oldest thing you cleared from your refrigerator?
