It will keep all of your food both fresh and (if it does start...going bad) from dripping on your fridge shelves and down the front of your drawers. Get it here for $19.99.
My family and I have been using Vacu Vin for years with no problems ($12.38 for the tool and two stoppers). Just make sure to quickly wet the stopper before putting it in the bottle!
If you have a fridge that isn't stainless steel, you can probably just use the surface of the fridge as a whiteboard. You can also use this to meal-plan through the week. Read more about it here.
