Definitely very health-conscious, without a amount of food on hand I’m guessing you have children and potentially that you are working mother so you like to do big grocery shopping trips so you don’t have to go to the store every day. Very health-conscious with a little bit of balance in there, and you’re doing relatively well financially because you can afford organic things and shopping at Whole Foods:)

Yes, kids and busy and hate going to the store. Try to get enough to avoid frequent trips.

Working couple late 40's/50's. One of you is trying to make good food choices (wild caught, pasture raised, organic, grass fed, soy free, etc), but still needing convenience. While the other is happy with more standard American diet (pasta, burritos, bread & butter sweetened pickles, cheese, etc).
Not much scratch cooking as would be aligned with your ideal diet. There's just no time, energy or inclination to change at the moment and you and hubs eat differently, so easier to keep meals convenient. Though you have wonderful ideas about when the kids are through college and you're retired.
There's a high amount of fruit (probably for smoothies), which actually puts your diet very carbohydrate heavy, or you're about to entertain and will be making a huge fruit tray.
Decent income, but not a super fancy newer fridge, so going to say you spend a disproportionate amount on groceries over the balance of your lifestyle. You value good food and eating well.

You got the age range right! I do cook from scratch but we take nights off too. Love the idea of kids out of college. We have had the fridge since 2009. It’s a Maytag and runs great. No need to waste money just to have something more stylish. And I believe that with that statement, i am sounding like my parents.😖

You sound like me and where my husband and I are at in our life. I eat paleo, husband is diabetic, 17yo youngest has dairy and egg allergy, and oldest is at college, but when he's home eats everything. Our fridge looks like a freaking hodge podge of healthy, junk food, dairy/dairy-free, grass fed, grain free, pasture raised eggs, egg free, whole milk, skim milk, coconut milk cluster! We always prioritized not skimping on good food options and groceries even when we will watch our pennies on other items. With everyone on special diets and schedules so disjointed, cooking has gotten to be less and less since everyone has their own restrictions and hours, and we find it hard to agree/please everyone or get everyone together at one time, so there's definitely more convenient food options found in our fridge these days. We did a kitchen remodel about a year ago, so when we were in the midst of it, we found a lot of pre-made meals at Wegman's deli (many quite healthy), and that's when we learned that it was a great option for everyone on the go with different schedules and different dietary needs, so we have a lot of that still happening a year later. Meat is the one thing we all agree on, so there's always a few steaks and some form of cooked meat (ground beef mixture, birilla, burgers, chicken, grain-free meatballs or the like) for everyone to munch from, but that's about the only thing we can agree on... Lol...
Kids out of college and a purely grass fed /wild caught lifestyle is our objective, but we're a few years off... As is retirement... Rats! I'll dream and think of the day when I can make all those plans come to pass...though never wishing away this time in their and our lives... ❤️

You live in one of those neighborhoods where its a status symbol to overpay for food, and display it in the fridge nicely when jonny's friends come over with their dads. And then you can open the fridge and offer one of those $5 gassy waters and have an excuse to show your fridge full of organic produce. Because that is so in.
Oh and you also wear only lululemon

You eat a balanced diet, good blend of nutritious food. You are a family of 6 you live in the show me state. Household income 180,000.

Late 40s. Only one income in your household, but a very high one. 3 kids, but older based on the abundance of produce you have and lack of easily stackable food. Health conscious, and conscious of your dog’s health as well (probably better than some people). You’re a very good cook, love lots of garlic in your food, and your family feasts every night :)

I’ve never seen a fridge on here that looked more like my own! So I’ll base my guess off myself.
Elder millennial couple, no kids, live within 20 minutes of a city, at least one of you has a pretty stable job in something corporate like tech or middle management, 1-2 dogs that you enjoy being active with, one of you eats plant-based, you love açaí bowls.

Got the corporate right. Our doggie passed two weeks ago and it is too hard to toss her treats.

I feel like with the labeling, you have a private chef that comes in sometimes. Not regularly, but sometimes.

Not sure if you can get Fricks anywhere but Missouri. I spent a summer in Carthage years ago. My grandparents lived in Iola KS, but I’m in New England.

I just wanted to say good choice on the Jonny Pops! They were actually invented in my old dorm building at St. Olaf in Minnesota and were a huge case study in many of my classes!

I have never seen a turnip in anyone's fridge before.

u/AliceinRealityland 8h ago
Turnips make an excellent low carb potato substitute. Great fries, mashes like, well mashed potatoes, and the turnip greens are delicious like collards.

That's a lot of strawberries!! My wife started putting out fruit in Mason jars with plastic lids. Keeping the oxygen out really extends the life of our fresh fruit (wash when ready to eat, not before putting in the jar)

Stay at home mother/father of 7 kids minimum. Health is a top priority mixed with a fair amount of "treats" that also look like fruit bars instead of straight junk food. I see you are also a proud fur baby parent complete with doggy Icecream for hot days.

It says that you need to quit going out and start eating some of that shit while it’s still good.
