It seems everyone’s at it these days — taking selfies and then showing them off on social media. And now your fridge is about to join in on the fun.

A new breed of high-tech refrigerators are fitted with cameras that take “shelfies” of their contents and send them to your phone.

The idea is that busy homeowners can keep better track of groceries so they don’t waste food by doubling up on items at the supermarket.

The snaps from inside the fridge could also mean the end of the hastily scribbled grocery list, as shoppers can see instantly what they need.

The smart gadgets join the ranks of other intelligent refrigerators that can top up your online shopping order, suggest recipes and even switch on the oven.

According to retailer John Lewis, sales of the “shelfie” fridges have risen threefold this year alone, and are helping revolutionize the way we shop.

The Samsung Family Hub, for example, has three cameras that take a picture of the shelves every time the door closes and automatically sends them to your phone. The cameras are fitted into the top, middle and bottom of the door and take pictures just before the fridge light turns off.

Like the Samsung fridge, the Bosch Home Connect fridge sends you photographs of the contents of your fridge and will even send alerts to your phone if you accidentally leave the door open.

Billed as “the first fridge to take a selfie,” Bosch says it gives you “full control over your supplies, and when you’re not at home you will know exactly which ingredients* are still missing for the dinner you’re planning.”(SD-Agencies)
