Ask:
I really need help organizing my fridge!
I just spent 45 minutes pulling the drawers and shelves out and scrubing the fridge from top to bottom. It's honestly never looked this good, except the first day I got it! So, with it being so clean and gleaming, I thought I'd take the extra step and organize it.
I'm going to start bagging snacks and putting them on the bottom shelve, so the kids can just grab a bag and snack on it, it also might help with school lunches!
I have three shelves in the fridge, two crispers, another drawer and shelving on the door.
I'd like to use the bottom small shelf for leftovers and bagged snacks.
The crispers are used for both veggies and fruit.
The middle shelve is big enough for bottles and pop jugs; don't know what to put there.
Top shelves is big enough for jam jars and mayonais and what not; also have no clue what to put here.
I don't know what I should put on the shelves on the door.
The drawer under the top shelve is usualy used for cheese and lunch meat.
Please help me organize my fridge!
Answer:
On the shelves on the door is where I keep all the bottles like; ketchup, BBQ sauce. I have so many bottles like that, it is a great place for them. They reall do take up a bit of room so I figure why have them clutter up a shelf inside the fridge. I also keep canned pop on the door too. Those pop boxes (fridge mates), they dont fit in my refridgerator plus I think that they take up too much room. It sounds like you have your fridge under control.
Answer:
Thanks areafinn.
I tend to put ketchup and bbq sauce on the door shelves, but sometimes I find that they fall out. Then it gets annoying because the kids seem to juss toss them off into the fridge.
You said that you buy canned pop; do you save more by buying cans? Or does it cost more?
We don't really buy pop anymore but I'd like to have some cans in the fridge for a treat.
Answer:
I use dish pans from the dollar store to keep deli meat and cheese in or any extra over flow of fruit. It makes it easy to pull out to find things. I also keep bottles on the door and my dh never puts them back where they go, so I labeled all of the door shelves. It took me 5mins and has saved me hours of cleaning out stuff that get shoved to the back. It also saves you money when you don't let things go bad.
Answer:
That is a great idea Cindi, i'm going to have to try that.
