"  Everyone has fallen victim to fruits and veggies that get lost in the back of the fridge and eventually go bad and must be thrown away. But what if there was a way to stop the fresh greens you bought from wilting in the veggie drawer before you get a chance to eat them? According to NPR&amp;#039;s The Salt, appliance companies have come up with a solution for home food waste \u2014 &amp;quot;smart&amp;quot; fridges. Instead of trying to keep track of the perishables the old-fashioned way, owners of a &amp;quot;smart fridge&amp;quot; can rely on a computer system inside their refrigerator to calculate when foods will expire. More From Delish: What to Do with Leftovers While &amp;quot;smart fridges&amp;quot; are not new to the market \u2014 Samsung had a model out last year with wireless internet and recipe applications \u2014 the new trend in smart fridges is helping people find their forgotten foods. The newest Samsung model comes with a grocery manager application that even has an internal map of the fridge to help find lost items. Kurt Jovais, the vice president of Samsung&amp;#039;s home appliances, explained that the point of these new food waste apps is to help people save money and food. He stated, &amp;quot;People are spending a lot of money on fresh produce and they&amp;#039;re sticking it in the crisper bin, only to find it wilted. Or they go to the store and buy a third batch of spring onions because they forgot they already had them.&amp;quot; More From Delish: 10 Easy Dinners that Make Awesome Leftovers LG also has created an application on its newest fridge that allows consumers to grocery shop right from their smart fridges. The company explained, &amp;quot;These features eliminate the hassle of having to write down grocery shopping lists the old-fashioned way or the need to visit the grocery store, saving time and increasing convenience.&amp;quot; While Samsung and LG both boast that their smart fridges help save time and money, the cost of a smart fridge can be double or triple the cost of a typical refrigerator. The LG &amp;quot;smart fridge&amp;quot; (pictured) is priced at $3,200, while Samsung&amp;#039;s is a whopping $3,499. Would you buy a &amp;quot;smart fridge&amp;quot; for double the cost of a regular fridge?
