Refrigerators and freezers are often pretty neglected. There are so many other things to do around the house that they get put at the bottom of the priority list until you get home from the grocery store and try to put your new groceries away. Then you start pushing things aside and haphazardly squeeze things in wherever there is room. The good news is that getting your refrigerator clean and organized is pretty darn easy. Here are some simple steps that you can take to show your refrigerator some love and get organized!
Refrigerators are basically impossible to clean when they are full of food so start by clearing out everything in your refrigerator and wiping it clean. After your initial cleaning, make wiping down your fridge a monthly cleaning task.
The key to having an organized refrigerator is grouping foods together and having a designated spot for everything. Keep all your produce in the same drawer, don’t put items that spoil easily in the door or the front of the fridge because those are the warmest places, have a designated section for leftovers and keep ready to eat foods in an easy to access spot for quick snacking. Keeping your fridge organized makes cooking and putting away groceries much quicker and easier.
It’s so easy to let stuff build up in your refrigerator! Take time once a week to clear out expired food. The best time to do this is when you are planning out your grocery list. You can take inventory and clear things out so that your refrigerator will have plenty of room when you get home with your new groceries.
Freezing food is a great way to prevent waste and make sure you’ve always got something healthy and convenient to eat. Stock your freezer by doubling one recipe per week. If you need to pack lunches, freeze your leftovers in individual portions for easy lunches. Glass jars are great for this! You can even freeze sandwiches! 100 Days of Real Food has great tips for making convenient freezer food.
Organizing your fridge (and freezer) can be quick and easy with these simple steps! You won’t regret it!
