I keep eggs and butter out of the fridge usually.
Other than that it varies so much week on week - that I have no "standard" items, other than milk, assortment of fresh juices, cream, and various condiments, and left overs.
The rest is used regularly, meats, veg, fish and poultry.

Everyone recommends fridge and that it only lasts a few weeks, this is to legally protect the self. It in now way needs to be refrigerated, never have and never been ill, or had issues.
Eggs don't need to be in the fridge either, in fact I hate them in fridge.
About the only things in their constantly are the jars of pickled onions, beetroot. Which probably need throwing out.
Most stuff is left out the fridge or doesn't stay in the fridge long. Things like butter, eggs, sauces aren't stored in fridge anyway.
God yes. These aren't things I 'keep', they're mostly just things that are there, that accumulate. I will keep half a jar of cranberry sauce until it goes off. WHY? Get rid.
I had friends round at the weekend and we had some cheese and crackers. They left a full jar of green bean/lime chutney that everyone roundly agreed was disgusting. It's now in my fridge. Throw it out you moron!

What's more troubling, is that there's been a bottle of beer rested up against that long enough to leave an imprint. Step up the drinking game!
I never keep eggs in the fridge, it's bad for the flavour and generally bad for cooking.
Cold egg in a custard for example, more chance of curdling.
Cold egg in a frying pan, more chance of the yolk breaking.
They'll last months in the fridge but unless you're buying eggs in bulk I don't get why you'd need them to last that long. Just on the side they'll last a 2-3 weeks easily.
Anyways, I have 2 fridges.
One is kept stocked with beer, white wine, orange/ apple juice, tonic water, sparkling water, little cans of coke, ginger beer etc.
I have an addiction to sparkling water, buy the **** in bulk.
The other (food) fridge
Milk
Margarine (butter is kept in a butter dish on the countertop, the way it should be)
Ketchup (the only sauce I keep in the fridge, just because I like it cold - even mayo is kept at room temp)
Chocolate
Bacon
Leftovers
Obviously I have things like, veg, meat, fish and cheese but the type varies a lot.
Quite often have clotted cream in there as well, I'm a scone whore what can I say.
A lot of things which say "keep refrigerated once opened" I just keep in the larder, I've never had food poisoning and nor has anyone I've cooked for.

Shouldn't keep Champagne in the fridge, it'll dull the flavour. Couple of hours before you need it will suffice!

The only downside is it's cold, so means it cools stuff on your plate, otherwise it's not an issue, it may keep longer but it's not like bacteria is going to grow on ketchup that easy anyway.
It's in for two weeks max before drinking, never noticed an issue, but then again it's not expensive stuff anyway.
No need for me to keep eggs in the fridge - they come out of the chickens in my garden and I usually eat them then and there.
(That was until the ruddy fox got them by eating through the chicken wire. Who'd have thought there'd be foxes in the suburbs of London).

Do the pepsi coke challenge, get some good quality organic eggs and try some which have been chilled and some which haven't.
Theres a massive difference in the flavour of the yolk between the storage methods.
Seems insane people thought to put eggs in the fridge really, never seen a supermarket do that.
Managed to cut down as I went on a binning spree not long ago but yes, we have half of the top shelf and a full shelf on the door dedicated to sauces, pickles, chutneys, ketchup etc.
As for things that will always be in the fridge:
Butter
Lurpack
Milk
Grated Cheese
Couple bottles of beer.
