10 ways to organise your fridge without spending money

If you live in a small space then you know that finding ways to organise your fridge can be a real challenge.

Especially, if like me you sometimes find yourself on a tight budget. The journey to find a way to balance leftovers with fresh groceries and having things clutter free takes time.

This post is all about 10 ways to organise your fridge without spending money.

In the age of instant gratification and quick sell solutions, how does one keep focused on what’s truly important. I used to love trying out the latest trends when it came to organising solutions. But more often than not, I find that what you already own works just as well.

Here are 10 cheap, budget friendly ways you can organise your fridge when the funds are tight:

1. Binder shelf clips:

Installing binder shelf clips creates appropriate labels for the food items while categorising each shelf area. This ensures that everyone in the household knows how to locate or place food-related to the specific label in the right section.

2. Egg cartons:

No need for excessive shaking or knocking for the contents of your favourite condiments when the Alton Brown inspired fridge organiser container in the form of egg cartons are incorporated right in the position of the fridge door.

3. Stackable Deli Containers:

Upgrade your kitchen to a professional one with these fridge organisation containers in the form of plastic or glass. From uncooked foods to leftovers these are sure to keep your items fresh and organised. 

4. Zip-top storage bags:

Zip-top bags not only preserve your food without cause for concern, but they can easily be slipped into the sections allotted without clutter. 

5. Re-position shelves:

Believe or not many fridge shelves can be re-positioned and used to organise your fridge in a manner that better suits your needs. 

6. Set aside space for meal preps and leftovers:

It takes time to clean and organise your fridge and jumbling it all back together after a meal or preparing for tomorrow just puts all of your hard work in vain. Establishing a section for meal preps and leftovers creates a neat and tidy fridge space.

7. Chopstick shelves:

Foil covered container tops just need a pair of wooden chopsticks or a baking tray to create a shelf and you have just created some extra space.

8. Keep the content, dispose of boxes:

By removing the content from all the boxes, you can organize your fridge space without the clutter.

9. Use crisper drawers correctly:

These act as space savers that keep food fresh. Make use of them appropriately and not only for storing your favorite sodas or beers. 

10. Organize your fridge door decorations:

Reminders, artwork, and decorative pieces can be encouraging but too much will add unnecessary clutter. It’s hard but keep only what you need by rearranging and add new pieces regularly.
