Through a series of unfortunate events I’ve been without a fridge and a freezer for almost 1 month now. My initial anger has since then almost vanished and eventually it turned out be a quite interesting – and still ongoing – social experiment. So what happened:
- I became more social
- I met more of my friends
- I spent more quality time with my girlfriend
- I started to think more about food and how much I should and from where it comes from
- I found out about a bunch of awesome new bars and restaurants I haven’t known before
- I’ve spent more money on food than usually (which is a postive effect imo)
- My kitchen has never been that clean in ages
- Really, there is no more dish washing
- I didn’t have to constantly run errands, which saved a lot of time
- I discovered a variety of new, smallish and exotic dishes, I wouldn’t have tried if going to a restaurant was something special (if I go to fancy restaurants, I like to order stuff I know so I reduce the likely hood of not being happy with my food)
- I became more active and sporty since I had to actively “seek” food somewhere
- When I bought food, I only did so in very small amounts and only the freshest of the freshest
- My electricity usage is less (and so is the bill)
- I stopped eating unhealthy, small stuff in between meals
- No more binge eating after getting home drunk
Thus, I recommend giving it a try.
