OMG, you looked in "my" fridge and I'm ashamed that you saw (tomatoes, bread)

I do a week's worth of grocery shopping on Saturdays, so if there are no leftovers in the fridge, it's empty in there (except for the shelf of condiments). My husband opens the door and stares sadly into the barren wasteland. I half expect a tumbleweed to roll through.
Not only have I thrown out cheap Gladware with contents I couldn't bear to deal with, I've thrown out far more costly receptacles. In fact, I currently have a stockpot that I'm ignoring, because I know I'm not going to clean it out without vomiting, and I can't bear to just trash a nice stockpot, either. I suppose I should just get a gasmask and the hose and suck it up and deal.

This is good!
When I was single and living in Montreal, I lived right near downtown, with plenty of bakeries/butchers/ready-made food stores/grocery stores nearby. I'd shop for the next day or two. I'd get what I was in the mood for, and worry about the following meals as they got near.
Now I'm married and living in Connecticut, and although there are grocery stores nearby, they're "big-box" stores that are busy. My husband hates going more than required and so do I.
Also -- and this is where it gets murky -- he likes choices. According to him, we should buy a TON of stuff so that we can choose what we want at that time. Well, that's kind of how I did it in Montreal, but only for the next couple of meals -- NOT FOR A LIFETIME!
And to that end... we bought an additional freezer a couple of months ago. It's in the garage. And it's full.
You want choices, buddy?? You GOT choices! Just leave me out of it!
(Now I have a fridge, freezer, and ANOTHER freezer full of stuff. Now MORE stuff can go bad or get freezer burned. YAY?)

I'm a moldy food wussie.
Got kids around? Depending on their age, tell them you'd be willing to pay for them to empty the contents and leave it soaking full of sudsy water.
LOL, you're a brave soul (how do you find anything in there?) and I thought mine was bad.
