About Fridge Date Mates
Small labels for less food waste.
Fridge Date Mates started on the Central Coast of Australia with one simple problem: too much perfectly good food was being forgotten, guessed about, or thrown out.
Made for real fridges, busy homes, leftovers, opened food and everyday life.
The story
It started with a fridge full of good intentions.
Like a lot of households, my fridge was full of leftovers pushed to the back, opened jars I thought I’d remember, and containers I kept second-guessing.
“I didn’t need more willpower — I needed better visual cues.”
Why they help
Your fridge should not rely on your memory.
Simple labels make it easier to see what was made, opened, frozen or needs eating first.
Guessing and second-guessing.
- Leftovers forgotten at the back
- Opened jars with no clear date
- Freezer meals becoming mystery meals
- Food thrown out “just in case”
