Good morning. Over the holidays, we really let the fridge go. Between hosting and kids being out of school, it quickly went down hill. I decided to let it go and knew that I would do something about it in January. That time came and I emptied the entire thing. It felt wonderful to give it a good scrub, go through our items, and get a handle on the organization. I am sharing the update version with the three things that have made a huge difference for us.

A PEEK INSIDE
![fridge organization](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/fridge-finds_3-800x1067.jpg)
I didn’t run out and buy coordinating food and beautiful produce to make these photos magazine worthy. This is the real deal of what is in our fridge so you can get a good idea of how these products might work for you. Our drawers have most of our greens, eggs, and protein products for the week.
ONE | PLASTIC BINS

These plastic storage bins(4 for $19) are wonderful. They are a game changer in the fridge. They pull out like drawers and hold so much. One of them holds everything we need to make a sandwich which is so convenient. They would be nice on a pantry shelf, too. Great or school lunch prep or snacks.
*These are also great under the kitchen and bathroom sinks to hold cleaning supplies and necessities.
TWO | LAZY SUSAN

Where has this been my whole life? Oh my goodness! I love it so much I bought two and have them on the top two shelves. When I cleaned out our fridge I couldn’t believe how many expired items were hiding in the back of these shelves. No more! This Lazy Susan is designed to take advantage of more shelf space than a circular one. It suction cups to your shelf and it easily slides out and turns so you can see everything. Genius product.
THREE | AIR TIGHT CONTAINERS
![leftovers](https://athoughtfulplaceblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/fridge-finds_4-800x1067.jpg)
We have had these air tight glass storage containers for years now. Still going strong! We love that they stack and you can see exactly what you have. I use them for food prep and for leftovers. They also stack very well in the cabinet when not in use. Easy to toss in the dishwasher and really a great way to stay organized.
TRIED & TRUE KITCHEN STORAGE
We have all of these and love the organization they provide. Highly recommend them all.

I hope this is helpful if you are wanting to organize your fridge a bit more. So far so good over here and hoping to keep it looking like this for a very long time. Next up I will share how we organize some of our kitchen drawers and cabinets. Are you working on any of yours spaces?
