Fold a piece of cardboard or cut a thick piece of plastic (really only a few millimeters is necessary) and slip it under the two front feet of your refrigerator. this way, if you leave the door open or accidentally don't push it in all the way, the door will automatically swing back and close. It really does take zero effort and it could save a bit here and there.
i am currently suffering from a broken refrigerator. i had to run out of town for a few days on short notice so tanya got my milk and eggs but EVERYTHING else stayed. for whatever reason-- the heat wave, improper door closing practices or sure sabatoge, something caused the motor to my fridge to burn out and i returned to a box filled with warm prosecco, spoiled kimchee, rotten cod, and cheese with far too much mold, among other casualties. i'm still a few days away from getting my replacement so i'm taking advantage and eating out till then.
But please, protect yourself and your perishables. Elevate the front of your refrigerator and don't let this happen to you.
