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.
