1. Look in fridge before work 2. Add any missing items to shopping list 3. Reference said list on the way home from work

I'm biased working for an online grocer, but isn't the problem really that you are in a store making the decision instead of in your kitchen at home? Half the goods I buy anyways aren't in a fridge, so a smart fridge only solves parts of the problem.

Everyone is arguing over a feature that this fridge does not have.

makes me wonder maybe if NFC/RFID strips were cheap enough you could have all the items tagged in the house and your phone could tell you what you have.. but probably causes e-waste though
