Simple Solutions for an Organized Fridge
The average person opens their refrigerator at least 15 times per day- 15 times! Being intentional about the food you bring into the kitchen, and then stocking your fridge with the proper organizational products is the key to simplifying your relationship with the refrigerator. Utilizing additional organizational product in your fridge will maximize your available space and keep food fresh longer.
In addition, labeling storage in the fridge is a simple solution and small investment in your daily life to increase sustainability. Say goodbye to the black hole in the back of your fridge where perfectly good food goes to die, and say hello to a simply organized refrigerator!
Invest in the setup
For Pre-Prepared Snacks and Meals
Having healthy meals ready to grab-n-go is a great way to stick to your healthy eating goals. We love using transparent glass containers that stack seamlessly and offer tight seals for these prepped foods. Clear storage in your fridge will keep everything organized and easy to find.
For Visibility
Avoid losing foods at the back of the frig and keep your categories clear by adding frig bins. One of our favorite tricks is adding the clear expandable drawer dividers into the drawer for even more organization!
For The Freshest Produce
OXO GreenSavers Produce Keepers promote airflow from all sides and allow you to customize the humidity levels for different types of produce. Who doesn't love that! They even come in a variety of sizes to best fit your space and preferences.
For Spills
Fridge Coaster is a fridge liner that does the dirty work by absorbing drips & spills. We love it because it eliminates moisture leaving no room for mold growth or odor. Best of all, its 100% recyclable, biodegradable, compostable.
