How to Organize Your Refrigerator Tip #1: Check for Items That Need to Be Thrown Out

The first step to organizing your refrigerator is start by taking all the items out of your refrigerator. Then you need to sort through the items and throw away anything that's expired. If you can't find a date, and have no idea when you bought it, chuck it.

How to Organize Your Refrigerator Tip #2: Buy Fridge Packs

To keep your refrigerator organized, buy fridge packs the next time you purchase soda. This ensures that the sodas aren't scattered all over the shelves. If you purchase bottled water, it actually helps to stash the bottles in one of the crisper drawers.

How to Organize Your Refrigerator Tip #3: Place Tall Items in the Back

To avoid losing items in your refrigerator, keep the tall items in the back so that you can keep up with the smaller items. It's not fun to pull out a gallon of milk only to realize that there is a moldy package of cheese in the back of your refrigerator.

How to Organize Your Refrigerator Tip #4: Keep Like Items Together

Another way to organize your refrigerator is to keep like items together. This also helps to avoid losing items. For example, you may find a good sale and purchase ten cans of crescent rolls. After you've used five cans, you may lose track of how many you purchased. If these items are scattered all over the refrigerator, you may find them after they've expired.

This is why it's best to keep condiments in the door.
