That's rare in Japan. Not because Japanese refrigerators are better, but because there are completely different habits behind them—quiet, unassuming things that together make a big difference.

Bestimnte Dinge wie Menüplanung und Resteverwertung sind in meiner Familie schon üblich. Das Einzige, bei dem ich mich an die Nase nehmen muss sind Spontankäufe 😅, weshalb ein Einkaufszettel sinnvoll ist. Aber selbst die wurden stets verbraucht und nicht weggeworfen. Und was das Mindesthalbarkeitsdatum bettifft: anders als beim Verbrauchsdatum sind diese Lebensmittel oft noch nach Ablauf des MHD geniessbar. Wenn sich Textur, Farbe und Geschmack verändert hat bzw es schimmlig geworden ist sollte man es entsorgen.
Und was die Äpfel betrifft. Die oxydieren, weshalb man sie besser frisch aufschneiden sollte und aus weichen oder schrumpeligen Äpfeln lässt sich verschiedenes zuberreiten wie zB Apfelmus, Scheiterhaufen. Apfelstrudel oder -kuchen.
Übernehmt,was für eure Umstände passt und ignoriert den Rest.
Ganz einfach.
