Fridge & Freezer Organising

Ok so I know when you open the fridge usually you can find most things after moving something out of the way or taking out a few items getting what you want then putting the other contents back in... but what if you could make the fridge and freezer more user friendly??? How??? Well here are a few tips that can not only help you keep your sanity but stop food from going off before you use it and help find items easier...

  1. Next time you are in the supermarket make sure you get a few long clear containers that are not too deep.
  2. Place containers in the fridge and freezer.
  3. In the fridge section use one container for all your sauces on the top shelf.
  4. Use one container for your condiments ie: jams, spreads.
  5. Use one container for your cheeses. Now you are getting my drift you now how to organise the rest of the fridge.
  6. Now the freezer. Use a container for your chicken items.
  7. Use a container for your meat items.
  8. Use a container preferably with lid to keep a nice stash of ice so you don't have ice cube trays all over the freezer then replace ice as needed.
My final tip is to make sure you rotate your items so that when you buy new food you place it at the bottom of the container so that the older or half used item is at the top and to the front. When you have a well organised fridge you can see exactly what is on each shelf and this also makes for faster cooking and easier shopping... Have fun
