The article from Yahoo Lifestyle discusses a common refrigerator mistake that can lead to food spoilage and increased energy consumption: overpacking the fridge. When a refrigerator is too full, air cannot circulate properly, which is essential for maintaining consistent temperatures and keeping food fresh. Overcrowding can cause the compressor to work harder, leading to higher energy bills. The article suggests organizing the fridge to allow for air flow, using the door for condiments and drinks, and keeping the temperature between 35 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit to optimize efficiency and food safety.
