Tips for organising a fridge on a tiny budget

I really do get asked about my fridge a lot – why did I organize it? How did I organize a fridge it with no money and why do I label things? I hope to answer some of those questions for you today with

TIPS FOR ORGANISING A FRIDGE

 

Tips for Organising your fridge on a tiny budget

An Organized Fridge can save you money and save your sanity Click To Tweet

I love an organized space and I adore some of the spaces I see on Pinterest but I am, like most people, on a tiny budget. That means I can’t spend £11.99 ( it ended up at 21 euros ) on gorgeous fridge storage like this from Amazon even if I wanted too.

So what do you do if you want to Organise your Fridge on a tiny Budget here are my tips

1. Search your local Euro, Pound, Dollar, Yen store for storage.

I found these cute little baskets in my local hardware shop 3 euros for 5 of them and I bought lots of them in green and blue – I have used them all over my Kitchen. They are cleanable in the dishwasher which is a bonus.

2. If you are willing to wait awhile for things to arrive you can find bargains on Ali Express ( no I am not paid to say this )

I found these cute little Storage draws for a couple of euros, as long as you are willing to wait a month or two to get them, they are handy for snacks.

3. Label Fridge Storage – trust me on this one.

 I label things because I live with teenagers, they wouldn’t know where something was if you put it in front of them!
And would put it back wherever they could if I didn’t have a dedicated space for them.
This advice goes for a lot of men and kids – if people can find things they are more willing to make their own snacks and sandwiches too.

4. Have a sandwich making centre

I have this box above that I picked up from Aldi when it was in the shop it wasn’t expensive, it’s BPA free and holds all my sandwich making things – like cheese, cold meats, and spreads. If I am making lunches I just grab out this box and some bread and I have the basis for some easy sandwiches or wraps.

5.Store your leftovers in clear plastic takeout containers.

You can usually pick up a pack of 5 for a euro or for a dollar in the dollar store. Place them on the shelf that is eye-line when you open the fridge and then more people are likely to eat them.

 6. Take a Freezer inventory

Once you have filled your inventory in, place it on your Fridge door. That way you always know what is in your freezer section.
I have designed a free printable Freezer inventory for you.  Just print it off and take 10 minutes and log everything in your freezer – it makes meal planning a dream and you always know what you need to pick up in the shop.
DOWNLOAD HERE and it is free.

I will leave you with a video of my fridge – no giggling at my videoing skills people!  I promise to get better at videoing.

    The freezer inventory sheet is a good idea. Saves buying duplicates.
