The first Organising Project on our list for July, is the Fridge!
Just to remind you of what a disaster our fridge was, here is my favourite kind of photo a Before and After pic. 
The general problem was that nothing had a space. Everything was just thrown in, piled on top of each other, there was NO ORGANISATION!
With Step 1 (Identify the Problem) and Step 2 (Gather Inspiration) completed it was time for
Step 3….Empty, Purge, Clean, Sort.
We are pretty good at emptying out the Fridge on a regular basis. We usually empty out any left overs or items past their use by date on bin day. With the Fridge contents emptied onto the kitchen bench, any expired items purged, the shelves cleaned and all items sorted into categories it was time for Step 4.
Step 4… CONTAINERISE!
Ok so that is probably not a real word, but I like it all the same…
Here is what we used..
Product List
1 and 5 = Small White Baskets – KMART – 2 for $2
2,3,6,7,9 = Clear Handled Containers – KMART – $3 each
4,11 = Large Clear Handled Containers - DOLLARS AND CENTS – $3.99 each
So what is in all those containers. I grouped like items together into the following categories.
- Condiments
- Deli
- Dairy (Cream, Butter, Yoghurt)
- Fruit & Veg (Tomato, Avocado other items I don’t want squished!)
- Margarine
- Dips
- Snacks (Squeeze Yoghurts, Cheese Sticks)
- Cheese
- Meals or Leftovers
- Drinks
- Fruit & Veg
What do you think?

Looks great Larissa, the handled containers would make it so much easier for you to find things.
WOW!!! This looks amazing. I actually picked up some of those pull our fridge baskets on the weekend and they truly do make such a difference don’t they? Howards Storage World had them for $4 each on sale so I was very happy with that!!
Loving your fridge…now, to sort mine out! Thanks for the inspiration xo
WOW! I can’t believe the difference a few containers can make! I really need to organise my fridge now. There’s so much in there at the moment…it’s making it incredibly difficult to find anything.
I love the ideas of using containers in the fridge! Makes it so much easier to group things together! I think a trip to Kmart and the Reject shop are in order!
Wow! Not that it was bad before but the ‘after’ really looks neat and makes it easier to clean the fridge when you need to.
Wow, super organised! Our fridge is tiny in comparison (damn rental house with a tiny hole for the fridge!) but I still think we could utilise those handled containers. Hmm, thanks for the inspiration!
