half a can of baked beans in a cup with a side plate covering
Small jars of Nutella - the lids are exactly the same circumference as a tin of soup/beans/tomatoes, and the jars make handy drinks glasses.

eggs
cheese (always unground Parmesan, sometimes Camembert but it only ever lasts a day)
chilli sauce
mustard
butifarra
boccerones
tomatoes
steaks
milk
rum Anejo
Pomelo juice
winter greens (? - seasonal green leafy veg sturdy enough to withstand frying, great w/ steak)

a jar of pickled red peppers I thought would be spicy but they're not and I can't bring myself to eat or throw yet
pesto, jar of, opened
This is a myth. Pretty much any coffee expert will tell you that coffee should be stored at room temp in an air tight container.
The fridge or freezer are about the worst places to put coffee.
I got into the habit when I lived in a house where I was the only one drinking coffee and a bag would last over a month, it seemed to help then. Nowadays I buy smaller bags and they each last about 2 weeks, so it probably doesn't make a difference now.

Googling this took me to one site where a guy mentions a negative is needing to defrost the coffee - obviously hasn't tried putting an airtight container into the freezer! The coffee doesn't freeze. Just stays smelling fresh.

Works for me, but I'm no expert.
Works for me too - fridge while it's unopened (should have explained), even tho the shops don't do that, freezer in an airtight tin when it's opened. Pack lasts me two weeks, tastes as good as the day I broke the seal.
I'm living the dream, ahem, teaching English in Barcelona. Pomelo (w/ rum) is my new religion.
Ah ok, thought you were going to say 'juice my own' :pasue: which would have been far too much effort for me. Just getting into the bastards is enough of a challenge.....
3 lbs beef tenderloin
2 lbs bacon
4 gala apples
1 head of lettuce
1 bag of spinach
1 stick of butter
4L skim milk
2 cartons almond milk
2 x 1.8L pomegrante blueberry juice
3 lemons
6 stalks celery
6 carrots
Bag of baby carrots
A tray of skinless/boneless chicken breast
A tray of ground turkey
Maple syrup
Lime juice
3 bell peppers (orange)
1/2 lb of Emmental
A jar of dijon
A bottle of ketchup
1/4 lb shaved roast beef
1/4 lb shaved turkey breast
various berries
A carton of eggs
mines is strickly hot sauces and cheap beers. for when i'm mowing lawn or puttering with gizmos
The fridge in my garage is for cartons of almond milk (2 x Costco 3-packs), 4 x 6-packs of gatorade (hockey-R) that I can grab on the go, various juices, any additional trays of chicken/turkey breast etc. And I use the freezer for big bags of blueberries, strawberries, pints of icecream (haagen dazs only!), and bags of frozen fish (usually salmon, mahi mahi, and halibut).
I also have a chest freezer in my basement for bags of shrimp and scallops, the occassional trays of lobster, and the common trays of ground beef/turkey, 5 bags or so of gluten-free bread.
All this food is a combination of eating like a 300lb man (but weighing far less) and also buying in bulk to save on making multiple shopping trips. I hate going more than once a week.

Curious about this. Which vitamins/supplements need to refrigerated, and why? I take a multi + 1000 IU of D + 2 zinc tablets (great for immune system).

Coconut water is the truth. I thought it was some hippy shit, but it is amazing at rehydrating my sweat soaked ass after sports. Far fewer sore muscles after games. Great for hangovers, too.

Water soluble supplements like your zinc if it's a lozenge, or other chewables - they should be on a shelf not a fridge because they need to be really dry or they'll break down, and even the fridge is too risky because condensation will develop every time you open them.
I have a lot of liquids and EFA's and probiotics. So for those, in the fridge they're consistently subject to one steady temperature, one steady level of moisture. They'll stay viable longer. As opposed to the shelf where they will experience slight fluctuations in temperature and damp/dryness throughout the day and seasons. Plus everything is in one place.

Looks like i misread, this is how we do it on the old continent too. Give or take.

Where'd you get pomelo juice?
I'm living the dream, ahem, teaching English in Barcelona. Pomelo (w/ rum) is my new religion.
As religions go, it's not a bad one. I could have a word with her upstairs* and put in a good word for you...
* The God of rum & pomello is definitely a woman. A really hot, sexy woman that you know is going to be trouble**, but you can't say no to.
** Two of my students told me that my name either means "troublesome/it's complicated", or "kopping off with a girl" yesterday.
