Day 1: December Kitchen Reset – Clear the Fridge Door & Start December Fresh
If you’re like me, the fridge door is a graveyard for condiments. That half-empty mustard from last summer? The salad dressing you swore you’d finish last month? Or that mysterious hot sauce hiding behind three others? Today, we’re reclaiming that space.
Your task for Day 1 December Reset:
- Empty the fridge door completely
- Check expiration dates
- Toss what’s expired or unloved
- Wipe down the shelves with a damp cloth
- Put unexpired items back in the fridge door
Why it matters:
This small reset saves money by preventing duplicates, makes your kitchen feel calmer, and sets you up for intentional eating. A tidy fridge door is a tiny win that starts the momentum for the rest of the month.
Quick Tips:
- Group items by category (sauces, dressings, condiments) as you put them back
- Keep frequently used items at eye level for easy access
Small wins count. When you open your fridge tomorrow and see an organized door instead of sticky bottles, you’ll feel that little spark of accomplishment. That feeling? That’s the start of a calmer, more intentional kitchen and a smoother December.
