Mass quantities of food in the fridge...

I'm sure you have all read that an empty fridge runs efficient because there is nothing that it needs to cool.

Also, a full fridge runs efficient because the cold food holds the temperature.

Well... we have started shopping at one of those discount warehouse stores. That means we have a ton of water bottles, juice cans, etc.

In theory, wouldn't it be the most efficient to load a few items at a time, so the fridge doesn't need to work too hard? And then try to fit all of the food in the fridge so it holds the cold temperature easier and again, the fridge doesn't need to work too hard?
