Fridge Life
So, let’s talk about something we all struggle with – figuring out how long our food actually lasts in the fridge! 🤷♀️ Trust me, no one wants to play a guessing game when it comes to food safety, right?
1. Milk 🥛
Okay, babes, so milk is a staple, but it’s also a sneaky one. Typically, it stays good for 5-7 days past the “sell-by” date. Sniff test is your bestie here. If it smells sour, it’s a no-go.
2. Eggs 🥚
These little protein-packed wonders are good for 3-5 weeks. Keep them in their original carton, not those fancy fridge egg holders.
3. Chicken 🍗
Raw chicken is a little high maintenance – you’ve got 1-2 days max. Cooked chicken? You’re looking at about 3-4 days.
4. Berries 🍓
Love snacking on these, but they mold fast! Eat them within 5-7 days.
5. Deli Meats 🥪
Sealed pack stays good for 2 weeks but once opened, aim to use within 3-5 days.
6. Ground Beef 🍔
Super for meal prep but only lasts 1-2 days raw. If cooked, you can stretch it to 3-4 days.
7. Fish 🐟
Use it or freeze it within 1-2 days. No exceptions.
8. Leafy Greens 🥬
Oh, these are tricky! About 7-10 days but check for sliminess.
9. Cheese 🧀
Hard cheeses can go weeks, sometimes months. Soft cheeses? Think 1-2 weeks. Mold is NOT extra flavor, girls.
10. Bread 🍞
It can last up to 7 days, but if you see mold, it’s game over.
11. Yogurt 🍦
This breakfast fave is good for 1-2 weeks past its date.
12. Leftovers 🍱
Don’t let your hard work go to waste. Eat within 3-4 days!
13. Apples 🍎
They’re good for weeks in the fridge, seriously!
14. Grapes 🍇
Around 7-14 days, but they can get mushy, so keep an eye out.
15. Carrots 🥕
Your crunchy snack can last 2-3 weeks, easy.
16. Orange Juice 🍊
It can last 7-10 days but if it smells funky, let it go.
17. Bacon 🥓
Oh, how I wish bacon lasted forever! You’ve got about 7 days here.
18. Beer 🍻
Now, this one’s surprising. It’s good for about 6-9 months but tastes best fresh.
19. Coffee ☕
Keep your beans or grounds in an airtight container and they can last weeks to months.
20. Condiments 🍶
Ketchup, mustard, and mayo can last months, but check the labels and consistency before you use them.
Hope this guide helps you keep your fridge as healthy and happy as you are! Food safety is self-care too, girls! 💕
Happy Eating! 🍽️✨
