I run my smallish refrigerator as efficiently as possible to save electricity. I do everything on your list along with keeping both the refrigerator & freezer full so they run more efficiently. You can do this with milk jugs/containers full of water if your refrigerator/freezer starts to empty out in between shopping trips. I make sure that the door seals are tight and that the temperature isn’t set low enough to safely keep food cold but not too low to freeze the milk in my refrigerator! 🙂

Thanks, Jeanne. And I’m with you on the fridge full of soda!

I am always fascinated by the ritual some of my peers have picked up from being raised in the 80s. Just the other day, my friend told another friend of ours she could grab a soda from their fridge in the garage. HUH? Not to be too critical, but who needs to drink that much soda that you need a whole other refrigerator in the garage to store it?
Anyway, to each their own. In our house, we do much the same as your listing above to conserve energy.
