How organized is your fridge?

It’s full. I wouldn’t call it organized, but it’s not a mess. Beverages on the top shelf, jarred stuff and eggs on the middle shelf, random stuff on the bottom shelf, and vegetables and fresh stuff in the drawers. Condiments, etc. on the door. 

Every now and then it’s full enough that we end up with Jenga-like stacks of things that make me crazy, but it’s usually ok. 

Not terribly well organized, and pretty full. We've been buying groceries much less often, and in much greater quantities since the end of February, so stuff just fits in where it can.

I also feel our fridge is mostly full of condiments- so many different mustards and vinegars and hot sauces and Asian oils, curry paste, tomato paste, harissa paste, relish, different jams, fish sauce, oyster sauce, Worcester sauce , soy sauce — you get the picture!

Then I have our uncooked meats in a drawer, cold cuts and cheese in a drawer, veggies in a drawer, milk and eggs and yogurt and sour cream and hummus on shelf. That’s it lol!

Edited - fresh fruit goes on bowels on counter and fresh herbs go in jars of water on window sill near sink.

Our fridge is full, but stays pretty well organized. I like to cook so I keep lots of ingredients on hand plus we 'like' leftovers so I purposefully cook extra. At any given time, there's a good bit in there.

I'm also a proponent of the clean-it-out-and-wipe-it-down approach before I put new groceries in there. And since I often go to the grocery three-four times per week, it stays pretty darn clean!

Mine is organized. Just like other items in the house, everything has its place. And everyone for the most part learned where it goes and puts it back (mostly) in the right place.

Once a week it’s cleaned out, the night before garbage day. So it’s pretty rare something gets old or smelly in there.

IDK? I try. When I go shopping i throw out older things and rotate stock items. I have certain things in certain sections and I don't like when anything is moved from their areas, because then I waste time looking for stuff. I'm like that everywhere. Everything has a place.

But we just got home from camping and my DH just threw everything in there and in the wrong place. I can't. He doesn't get how not being in control of little things like this gives me anxiety!

My job is stressful and I fight anxiety resulting from that with many methods, organization being one of them. Plus exercise and shopping and crafting.

My fridge is organized but not Home Edit worthy. I pick up groceries on Sunday for the week. So it’s packed and gets whittled down as the week goes on.
I do also have a 2nd fridge in the garage for overflow and canned/bottled drinks. I also have a standing deep freeze.
My standing deep freeze is majorly organized thanks to the pandemic and I even keep an inventory log for it. I put a lot of work into getting it stocked and organized. I’m proud of that bitch.

Mine is very organized. Everything has it’s place. Leftovers generally go towards the front on the center shelves. If I see them for more than a couple of days, they must go.

I need my kitchen to be ultra organized and that includes the refrigerator and freezer.  I use plastic shoeboxes and a couple of larger plastic boxes as organizers.  I label them and use them to help me keep things orderly.  I package pretty much everything in the sealer bags from my FoodSaver.  I have a bin for rice/quinoa/wild rice, etc.  Another for cooked soups, one for cooked/raw chicken, one for fish, and another for frozen fruits, and another for frozen vegetables, etc.  It saves me so much time being able to go straight to the right bin.

The refrigerator is pretty much done the same way, with labeled bins to categorize things.  Having the majority of items in shoeboxes also helps tremendously when it comes to cleaning the refrigerator.  Nothing ever leaks onto the glass shelves and it is so much easier to just wash up the shoeboxes at the sink rather than wiping down the glass shelves.  I also arrange the door bins by like items, salad dressings, sandwich fixings, etc.

Since I am single and get the entire refrigerator to myself, plus my large garage freezer that has a small convertible section that can act as a refrigerator or freezer, I have plenty of space to spread things out into category bins.  Although I am not running the garage freezer right now since my annoying renter broke it and then shoved my dining room furniture and the boxes I was using to sort garage sale/things to move with me into a big unorganized mess and there isn't adequate passageway for a repairman.

This was my goal, too, and I stuck with it. Out of site, out of mind with those drawers — so I’m vigilant on using most of the produce within the first 2-3 days of grocery shopping.
