    1. Stability. Temperature outside fluctuates, food could freeze or get too warm.
    2. Containment. The fridge prevents critters from getting to your food.
    3. Location. The fridge is conveniently located in the kitchen.

    In winter I do tend to keep drinks outside if the temps are alright, they cool down faster outside than in a fridge anyway.

      I am using a fridge outside: It is like a small balcony first floor with a roof and cool most of the year. So #1 and #2 are checked. For #3 I have a small Japanese compressor fridge in the kitchen, only for the very important daily things like milk. The mustard stays in the outside fridge. The kitchen fridge never uses more than 30W for cooling. But only IF it runs. So that checks #3.
