This one is a no brainer. If you have a fridge, make sure that you always have ice in your freezer. You never know what you may need it for. You could use in your drinks in the evening, in your milk shakes in the morning or in a lemonade on a hot day.
It is important to remember that most things that you store in your fridge, including these must have things in your fridge are perishables. Refrigeration can help keep them longer, but if you don’t use them in a timely manner, they are bound to get spoilt and may end up spoiling other items in the fridge as well.
