Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.
Bagged Vegetables
While these may be a little more expensive than whole vegetable, it is very convenient to have bagged vegetables. It is one of the things in your fridge you can use to make a quick meal or eat as it is for a snack. For instance, baby carrots can easily be had as a healthy snack, while mushrooms can easily be added to an omelet.

Ice
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.
