GUESS WHAT!!!!!
You know those modern refrigerators that hold two cups of spilled liquids on the shelf without spilling over. If you don't, ignore the rest of this update.
We discovered this morning that the shelves might hold two cups of liquids, but they DON'T hold a half gallon of milk that slowly leaked over the night. Not only that, but it spills onto EVERY shelf and EVERY drawer, not to mention the food it came in contact on its way to the bottom.
We spent 30-45 minutes removing food, shelves and drawers. We washed all the shelves plus the sides and bottom of the fridge. After a few wet dish cloths, I decided to use a turkey baster. It worked marvelous to suck up the half gallon of milk. All four of us worked at either washing or drying said shelves/drawers. Good workers we are!
So much for saving money on milk. I guess we will make another trip to Aldi to get more milk at $1.69 a gallon. We just wasted 80 cents of milk. Boo-hoo!

Ah! So frustrating! I had a slightly smaller mess this week too. I was thawing a quart-sized ziplock bag of applesauce in the fridge, and the bag had a leak in it. It was way less than 2 cups of liquid, but all my bread, tortilla shells, and leftovers had the bottoms covered in sticky apple goo. mmmm...
Ooo. That does NOT sound fun. The new milk jugs are thinner than the old ones, I've broken them just taking them out of the fridge at the store before! Cheap cheap. But getting milk for $1.69 is AWESOME! Ours is a solid $2.89 down here (Sam's is a little better usually).
Love you all! Stay out of that crazy Chicago traffic.
Emily - yes, we ate the dip (previous update) with tortilla chips. It was to die for!
Booo! Sorry. That really doesn't sound fun. But getting milk for 1.69 does sound fun! We are the same as Erin; it's 2.89 here.
What a nice opportunity for you all to work together as a family, though! :)
