Same here... My fridge is tiny, and I'm doing good to get the stuff in
that has to be in there to fit. I keep bags of flour down in large ziplock
bags, and have yet to have trouble--despite that it's just me using the
flour and it take forever to go through a bag. Same thing with cereal and
crackers.

I've gotten better at not being obsessive about the fridge. My mom is one
of those "everything must be in the fridge" types. I've learned that
vinegar doesn't have to go in the fridge, and neither does honey or peanut
butter.... I'm trying to convince myself that corn syrup doesn't have to in
either, but I haven't gotten myself convinced yet.

Most things, I don't freak out over if they're left out.. Like eggs or
cheese. The only things I never leave setting out are mayo, milk, and raw
chicken.
