Wasted $40 on chicken that went bad because I kept shoving it in the door shelf

I kept losing chicken, cheese, and lunch meat every single grocery run until my neighbor Deb asked me where I put my cold stuff in the fridge. Turns out the door shelf is the warmest spot, so all my dairy and meat was going bad days early while I blamed the store. I moved everything to the back of the middle shelf and my $40 of chicken from Kroger lasted almost a full 2 weeks instead of 4 days. Anybody else catch themselves storing food in the worst spot possible?
