10 ESSENTIAL ITEMS FOR A MORE ORGANISED FRIDGE
It’s so easy to just throw our groceries in the fridge after a big supermarket haul and worry about finding it when the times comes. However, this often leads to more food waste as hidden items spoil, and we end up buying duplicates of things we didn't realize we already had.
These problems can all be avoided by simply just having a more organised fridge. While it may seem challenging, I've compiled a list of items that will help us maintain a tidy and efficient fridge.
EGG DISPENSER
Eggs are a household staple in most homes, so we are constantly buying these for the fridge, so what better than a dispenser that holds a dozen eggs. The gravity-fed design dispenses eggs one at a time with gentle rolling motion, and a two tier design saves up on space and allows you to ditch the bulky carton.

2. STACKABLE FRIDGE DRAWS
Most fridges come with built-in drawers, but they are often too few and end up being disorganized, leading to food spoilage. BPA-free drawers can solve this problem by allowing you to see your produce more clearly and access it easily. They are also simple to remove and clean in the sink, helping you keep your fridge spotless.

3. REUSABLE ZIPLOCK BAGS
Ziplock bags are the perfect for storing any leftover vegetables and/ or snacks for the kids in. Made from BPA-free, FDA-grade material, they are safe for food storage, reusable, and environmentally friendly. These bags help keep your food fresher for longer, reducing food waste. Their clear, durable design makes it easy to see the contents and helps keep your fridge organized.

4. SODA DISPENSER
Soda cans can occupy a lot of real estate in the fridge, and forgetting to restock them from the garage can leave you with an unpleasant room-temperature drink. A soda dispenser is a great solution, allowing you to stack up to 9 cans without taking up too much space. The BPA-free container also lets you see when it’s running low, so you’ll know when it’s time to refill.

5. LAZY SUSAN FRIDGE TURNTABLE
You've probably heard about using a turntable on the dinner table, but have you considered one for your fridge? A turntable can hold all your condiments, allowing you to spin it 360 degrees so that food items come into view for easy access. This prevents having those items that hide in the back of the fridge, never to be seen again until the next fridge clean out.

6. HERB SAVER
While waiting for the need to strip the herbs, a herb saver extends the freshness of herbs, preserving their flavor and aroma. It saves space in the refrigerator, offers quick and convenient access, and reduces the need to frequently purchase fresh herbs, making it cost-effective. The built-in water reservoir keeps herbs hydrated, and it's versatile for various herbs like parsley, cilantro, basil, and mint.
