Assuming your standard refrigerator is not full, why not put jugs of air (cools fast) or water (stays cool longer) into the fridge in the empty parts? If you do this, there will be less volumetric air to escape, so the fridge will be able to retain the "coolth" when you open the door.

unsure of efficiency, but do realize that a full "container" allows the cold unit to work less. during my cold deliveries, after closing the door, a full truck(container) ALWAYS cools back down more quickly than 3/4,1/2,empty etc.
