In minimalism, there’s a saying about food storage:

“Let the supermarket be your fridge.”

It reminds us not to overstock or hoard — to buy only what we need, when we need it.

There’s also a saying that

“A person can pretend in their appearance, but never in their fridge.”

Our fridge quietly reflects how we live — our habits, priorities, and the level of mindfulness we bring into daily life.
