I'm a Scavenger in my Own Fridge

it's 3am here now and i'm still up and i felt a bit hungry since i had my dinner at 7pm prepared by my mom before she left to her home. I want to have some snack and went to find something to munch...heck, there's only an apple and a kiwi, a butter and a jar of jam but i don't have a loaf bread to spread on, there's a box of icecream but just a few spoons left. I looked in my cupboard and there's no even noodles which i don't actually like so i thought i didn't eat what i had bought long time. i never ran out of food like this before, especially there's always bread around but i didn't even notice it was gone too... did this ever happen to you? what did you do quench your hunger? i decided just to have some coffee and the apple lol.

Whenever I check out my fridge and I see food running out or most that I love are gone, I would order delivery. Especially when I'm super hungry and too lazy to go out and buy snacks or something..

Haha this is the thing that I really avoid.. At all.. I would become crazy if I were in your position.. I cannot stand the feeling of hunger.. (But I am not fat by the way) LOL I remember that this happened to me once and it was 2:00 am.. Most of the stores are already closed, and I end up buying something from a store which is 2 hours away from my home.. That's how crazy I am!

I have had this happen to me several times also. I hate it when there is very little food left in the house like that. I start craving just about everything we don't have LOL. I usually end up with chocolate milk or something like that.

Now what stopped you going out to the shops and doing the shopping? Was it the Lot by chance? I let my cupboards and the fridge go right down to the almost nothing once every month. I plan it so that I run out of things the day before my day off then I go shopping and stock up again. I do this so that things don't get forgetton and then go past their expiry dates. I have never got to the stage where there is absolutely nothing left to eat although things for snacks run out sooner than other things. I usually make a cup of herbal tea if I have nothing left to make a small snack with. The warm drink stops my appetite as it is not really hunger just lust for food

oh hi mysD mylot? no, i can do mylot all night long hahaha...that's what made me hungry actually i postponed going out because i had to do something unexpected and important and needs to stay online for few hours so the time remaining isn't enough for me to look around downtown too...i did go downtown today though and bought loads lol since i can only do the buying on weekends. i had some heavy meals like rice and meat but no snack which i am craving and maybe i don't give much attention about my stocks getting expired since i do eat them faster

You are more lucky than me. I am living alone, and thus I seldom replenish my fridge . Most of the time, I couldn't find anything to eat when I am hungry Usually if the hunger is unbearable, I will drive to the nearby 24hr convenient store to buy instant noodles or breads. Or, I might take my supper in the 24hr Mamak restaurants. Sometimes, I will find rotten food in my fridge. I am so attentive to my inventory in the refrigerator until most of the food I keep in it expired. Therefore, the most simple solution is to avoid keeping food in it.

hi cheongyc^^;; thanks for joining me here.. i wish i have car like you so it's convenient to go out even at these hours and 24hours stores are away from my house lol to "avoid keeping food in it", never thought of that as a solution i also live alone, but mostly stays in the house so i need to stuff food because i just go out on weekends. the apple i think was also almost two weeks old so i checked it if still good and crispy.

I've never been that bad off before. I hope I never get like that. But I know some people that have gone down that low in their fridge before because they couldn't afford to get anything to eat. I hate to be hungry so I try to keep stuff in our house even if I have to buy it at the dollar store or Aldi or get it from the angel food ministries. I hope you are able to go to the grocery store soon and stock back up on food.

hi sweetgirl^^;; thanks for the visit here I experienced this only once so i really won't let it happen again. that was what i get for delaying my buying for just a day but i have bought lots of stuffs the following day so i'm sure i won't run out stocks as i will check it from time to time. i had ofcourse food for heavy meal, but none for snacks..i also love eating like in between meals or have something before sleeping have a nice day and happy healthy eating^^;;

I have been in that situation before many more times than I care to rememeber .You are luck you had so many options ,I have been cleaned out except maybe one item.There isnt much you can do when you are in that position except eat what you have .I would have eaten a little bit of everything until I was full that is I owuld have eaten the ice cream firstly,then the apple and slices of buttered jam bread abd was it down with coffee ,should give you a nice burp after the warm liquid goes down .Greta discussion

Hi Lucky, that always happens to me and I really have no idea why I bother opening the fridge or the cupboard to check as I already know there will be nothing at all I fancy. I usually end up taking a Greek yogurt out and instead of putting the usual luchtime honey in it resort to a spoonful of chocolate spread which lurks at the back of the cupboard for just such emergencies.

The yogurts aren't emergency food, they are the compulsory Greek lunch and there's always a fridge full as I bulk buy in town as they cost a lot less. I've always been so good buying the 2% fat ones and then when I told my Greek to put some in the fridge last time I stayed he bought full fat and I've been eating them ever since, divine.

This often occurs in the fridge, so I think should put some bad food, love to ensure the refrigerator clean, there are many things such as bread in the fridge, in time, will not only affect health also affects the palate, so I suggest that should buy the canned food to preserve the class.

hi liuchuanfeng^^;; welcome to mylot and to my discussion what do u mean "put some bad food" on the refrigerator? don't worry, i consume the food before they run out date or got destroyed as i love eating lol. but i don't buy canned food or any processed food so i don't store them here too.. i ofcourse still had the rice and meat for meal, but i was only looking for snack which maybe is bread or more fruits or cookies but none
