Three unexpected benefits to cleaning out your refrigerator: 

1) It will make you a better cook - You are more likely to plan, cook and eat healthier meals when you have a general idea of the food items you have on hand. 

2) It will save you money - Taking the time to clean out and inventory your refrigerator will make you more likely to eat the food you have on hand and less likely to waste food. 

3) It's healthier for you - Dirty refrigerators can be a breeding ground for bacteria and germs. A clean refrigerator will keep your food fresh longer and reduce the risk of food borne illness.
