Question of The Day. Saturday 10th of April.

[neely]

I still have Noodles' meds in the cabinet too.

Glad to know I'm not the only sentimental one.

 

[MonaLyssa33]

Ok, I need to hear this story!

I mean there really isn't a story to it. In case there is a fire, the freezer is the least likely thing to get damaged than anything else in the house.

 

[aliceneko]

I have an ice pack, but that's about it.

 

[fionasmom]

I am glad that I am not the only one who keeps meds from previous pets! I still have some insulin from my last diabetic cat.

Otherwise, my eye doctor said to keep all eye drops in the fridge as they are much more soothing.
I have those blue block cubes that you put in lunch boxes to keep food cold.
Also ice packs for sprained or strained muscles

 

[Mr. Meow]

Insulin for my diabetic kitty. That's the only thing lol

 

[denice]

Just food and drink. When my oldest daughter was small she went through the stage with a lot of ear infections so I always seemed to have a bottle of the bubble gum pink amoxicillin in the fridge. That was many years ago.

 

[Lari]

Probiotics in the fridge, ice packs in the freezer.

Oh, and the grease can is in the fridge, too. I drain grease from cooking into an empty cat food can and when it's full and hard I throw it out. It's what my mom did as she didn't like pouring grease down the drain.

 

[Tobermory]

I keep the cats’ dry food in the fridge. Since I use it only for treats or as a topper when they get finicky about their wet food, it lasts a long time and I want to keep it fresh.

 

[muffy]

Probiotics. I used to keep cigarettes in the freezer because it would keep them fresh. I used to drive to Virginia and buy several cartons at a time because they were about $8.00 cheaper a carton than they were in Maryland.

 

[Norachan]

I keep some lotions in the fridge too. Helps with the shelf life of the cream or lotion.

That's a good idea! Some one told me long ago that nail varnish lasts longer if kept in the fridge. I don't know if that's true or not.

my birth certificate

Why?

I mean there really isn't a story to it. In case there is a fire, the freezer is the least likely thing to get damaged than anything else in the house

Oh, that's a good idea too! I have a plastic folder with all my passports, bank documents, visa details, work contract, birth certificate etc etc in an easy to grab place if ever I have to leave suddenly. I didn't think about keeping it all safe in the freezer.

 

[LTS3]

There are small briefcase sized fire-proof document safes one can buy. They're not terribly expensive. I'd worry about condensation / moisture from a freezer or fridge damaging documents.

 

[Talien]

Ice packs for the cooler, but that's about it.

 

[Whenallhellbreakslose]

Probiotics, a box of opened baking soda(to neutralize any odors) and ice packs in the freezer. That's the only non food/beverage items in the fridge

 

[Jem]

Oh, and the grease can is in the fridge, too. I drain grease from cooking into an empty cat food can and when it's full and hard I throw it out. It's what my mom did as she didn't like pouring grease down the drain.

I forgot about that...But I put mine in a small mason jar. Then when it's hard, I just pop it out pretty easily with a spoon into the compost. Then I wash the jar and put it back for the next grease collection.

 

[lizzie]

My polar bear full of baking soda,my probiotics and my b-12 for injection....that's it.

That's a good idea! I always feel bad throwing out a can I can recycle, but I figure since most of them are recycled, it isn't the worst.

 

[debbila]

I didn't have anything nonfood in my fridge until I read fionasmom 's post. I put my eye drops in there right away. Thanks!

 

[DreamerRose]

I forgot about the grease. I only save bacon grease ( my MIL called it bacon drippings) which I use for frying or seasoning green beans. And no, I don't have high cholesterol. It's a Southern thing. But mine is on the stove right now, not in the fridge.

its a vital ingredient for the gravy with biscuits or country fried steak

 

[AbbysMom]

Hmmmm. Off the top of my head, first aid ice packs in the freezer and hops and beer yeast in the fridge, although I guess that's kind of a food item.
