If a Sim tries to open the fridge without any money, a sad trombone jingle will play, and the following message will appear: "Stomach growling? No §§, no food in fridge. Get some money and the refrigerator will miraculously refill and your sims can stuff their faces."

}}Refrigerators in ''[[The Sims 2]]'' ship with a full food supply. Sims can be instructed to prepare meals or obtain snacks from the refrigerator. As the supply of food is used up, a family member must top up its contents manually, either at a grocery store or by ordering it over the phone or computer. Each unit of food costs §2, though food bought from a Sim-owned [[business]]{{vgversion|TS2:OFB}} may cost more. Sims will usually put groceries in the refrigerator, but may put them on a counter or other surface. If this happens, the player can click on the basket and select "Put Away". If a Sim bought groceries from more than one display, whether in a business or on a normal community lot, there will be a basket for each display the Sim bought from. However, only the first basket will automatically be put away or put down; others will have to be removed from the Sim's [[inventory]] and put away. While buying from multiple displays, especially in a business, adds a touch of realism, there is no other reason to do it. Refrigerators can also be restocked for free by enabling the [[testing cheats]], shift-clicking on them, and selecting the "Restock" option.

Refrigerators on [[community lot]]s do not need to be stocked, but Sims will be charged every time they take food from them, much like in ''The Sims''. A [[secret society]] will be charged whenever its refrigerator is used, but the refrigerator will always be fully stocked. Also, the food supply of a refrigerator in a [[dormitory]] cafeteria will not diminish when food is made by the cafeteria attendant, but will diminish when dorm residents take food from it.{{vgversion|TS2:U}} Likewise, in an owned [[business]], businesses will be charged whenever a Sim takes food from a refrigerator on the lot.{{vgversion|TS2:OFB}}

}}In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', ingredients can be bought, caught, or grown, and stored in a refrigerator for the household to use. If an ingredient that's needed to cook a meal is missing from both the refrigerator and the Sim's inventory, the Sim will be charged for the ingredient at a higher cost and of lower quality than if they purchased it from the [[grocery]] store. Unlike previous games, the option to prepare a meal will be greyed out if there are no preparation surfaces on the lot.

Items can be placed into and taken out of the refrigerator in a similar fashion to adding and removing items from the [[inventory]]. Food and ingredients can simply be dragged into the refrigerator by the player. The inventory of the refrigerator can be viewed by selecting the "Open" command, and items can be dragged into and out of the refrigerator in this manner as well. Although Sims no longer have to approach a refrigerator in order to get food and ingredients from it, they will still do so if instructed to get food or make meals.
