"A cluttered fridge leads to a cluttered mind."

There's more to fridge organisation than simply making your kitchen look good; it impacts your health, time, sustainability efforts, and even your wallet. Let's delve into why this often-overlooked aspect deserves your attention.

1. Make your everyday less stressful

Grocery shopping. Cooking. Storing. Using leftovers. Throughout the entire process of supplying you and your family's bodies with essential nutrients, your fridge is right there with you! An organised fridge will not only save you time, money, and energy - but do wonders for your everyday mental health. Every time you open your fridge (an estimated 15-20 time a day!), open up to peace and clarity - not chaos!

2. First In First Out

Food waste is something that almost feels like an inevitability in this day and age - but it certainly is not! By implementing a "FIFO" system, not only will you reach great levels of sustainability, but the rush and chaos of searching for some ingredient buried in the back of the fridge you know you have to use up quickly will disappear too! A rotational system like this is super useful in helping you remove the hassle of digging around!

3. Don't Overstock!

Always plan to keep at least 30% of your fridge empty. This may seem excessive, but leftovers and meal prep can take up a lot more space than you think! Maintaining this mantra can help you to reach your sustainability goals and maintain the eating habits and well-being of your ideal lifestyle. Overstocking can also impede proper air flow and create uneven cooling throughout your fridge, which will spoil everything faster! Clear "fresh containers" like this one can make it easy to keep track of how much of everything you have with only a quick glance whilst also keeping your fruits and vegetables super fresh!

4. Everything has its place

"Store like with like" - proteins here, dairy here, and fruits and veg over there! This key factor in fridge organisation will streamline everything from thinking about tonight's menu to cooking and even tomorrow's grocery shopping! By being able to see everything (and how much of it) categorically at a glance, it saves so much time and energy! This also helps prevent cross-contamination and faster spoilage of produce, as some fruits like apples and peaches give off certain gases as they ripen - which can potentially damage sensitive produce! Specialty refrigerator boxes like these are perfect for organisation and long-term freshness!
