Tips to help you better organize your fridge

Who hasn’t thrown out food that has spoiled at the bottom of the fridge? Here are some tips to better organize your refrigerator.

-First, remove and discard food that is no longer edible. Then, thoroughly wash all the compartments.

-Reserve the top shelf for leftovers. By transferring them to glass containers or covering them with transparent plastic wrap, they’ll be easily visible to everyone.

-Make use of the bins dedicated to specific food groups, such as fruits and vegetables.

-Store meat on the bottom shelf since it’s the coldest place in the fridge. This way, other food won’t get spoiled if a mess occurs.

-The refrigerator door is the warmest spot in your fridge; use it for storing condiments and butter. Avoid placing cartons of milk or juice there.

-Keep fresh food, that you intend to cook soon, in the same place, so you don’t have to scout around for them.

-Create specific areas on your shelves for grouping snacks, beverages or dairy products.

-If you don't have many compartments, use plastic bins to keep similar items together.

-Consider rotating items regularly and placing the freshest products behind older food.

-Before restocking your refrigerator, put products back in place to check how much is left.

-Keep your grocery list handy, and jot down what's missing as you go along.

-Consider using plastic containers that are the same size. They’ll be easier to stack and line up without using too much storage space.
