THERE'S nothing worse than coming home to a fridge that you thought was filled to the brim with food but has been demolished by your flatmates or family.
But what if you could return to a chiller that was not only always filled with your favourite foods - it had even been topped up with a pint of milk while you'd been out?

What the FridgeCam looks likeWell, with a clever, affordable new gadget, this could be your new reality.
Designed to save time, money, energy and food waste, the £99.99 wireless Smarter FridgeCam lets you peek inside the your fridge from wherever you are through your smartphone.
Plenty of super pricey manufacturers have begun to offer this quirk - but this is a fantastic way to make your "dumb" fridge work for you at a fraction of the cost.
Each time the fridge door is opened the FridgeCam automatically takes a snapshot of what's inside - sending it straight to your smartphone.
It also uses object recognition to keep track of all your food items, by sending an alert when they're about to expire.

The camera syncs to a smartphone app that sends you alerts and footage of your fridgeIt will let you avoid making trips to the local grocery store and shop with ease by automatically adding your favourite items to an in-app shopping list which will feature major supermarkets including the likes of Asda.
If you've got an odd collection of ingredients left toward the end of the week, the Smarter Chef feature can even make recipe suggestions based on what's in there.
The first time you fill your fridge with the camera inside, you scan the barcodes of each item.
The camera will "learn" what each object looks like and will automatically recognise it in the future.
The inspiration behind the latest innovation in the kitchen was to combat the growing problem of food waste in the home.
In the UK, the average household throws away £700 worth of food annually.
