Or refrigerator? I froze two Devil Dogs out of a box of 8, just in case I feel like having cake. I had eaten the other 6 before the best by date. I discovered them yesterday and had one today. I also refrigerated a few dates months ago, which I think need to be tossed now. Once I hid a fudge pop from myself and found it when I was looking for something else weeks later. Mind you, I'm talking about a medium sized refrigerator freezer, not one of those huge deep freezers.
 

I would never forget a Devil 😈 Dog or a slice of leftover pizza but I might forget Brussels Sprouts. 😉🤭😂

I do sometimes have trouble remembering when I opened a bottle of juice, a container of cottage cheese, etc…

I probably should use a sharpie to add the date to the container when I open it.
 

Nope, My freezer has vegetables waiting for someone to eat them, and they are all getting antsy.

It has ice-cream in it every time I grocery shop. I buy two pints. Two days later they are gone. So I think about how I shouldn't eat so much ice-cream (a serving size is 1/2 cup) and if I could, I'd eat 8 servings a day. Then I order 2 more pints.
 
Yes but not too often. Sometimes a container will get pushed to the back and it's very difficult to see since in our current kitchen the fridge door only can open about 1/2 way. We store food in specific containers that you can tell by touch what's what.

Years ago I was putting groceries away and put a roast on top of the fridge, because I'd run out of counter space while trying to fit everything in. Forgot about it--found it the next morning.

Not usually, I can't stand to waste food. I'm the one in the household that manages the food stores and prep, so I'm always doing inventory of the fridge/freezer and working up meals around what is on hand.
 
My husband put an unopened soft drink can in the freezer once to cool it down and forgot about it.

Almighty bang in middle of night when it exploded. :oops:
