Fill Your Freezer

Fill your refrigerator too. The space in between the items loses cold fastest, and has to be rechilled more often, according to my research.

If you don't have much stuff in there, you can fill containers with water, or use wadded up newspaper. Or so the suggestions go.

I think I would be embarrassed if someone opened my fridge and saw newspaper, but I guess some jugs of water would be alright. In this cold weather, I could actually let them chill on the porch, then set them in. Maybe I will.
