Did you know that there are people out there who actually organize their fridge. Yes, I know, I laughed too, but it’s true!! In fact you can find multiple photos on pinterest of perfectly organized refrigerators. I used to think these people where on a whole other level of crazy, yet there was something intriguing about the photos. The perfectly organized condiments. A designated spot for meat, dairy, and produce. No moldy mystery food hidden in the back behind the milk. The more pretty fridge photos I saw, the more I wanted to organize my own fridge.
I wrote a post earlier sharing8 amazing fridge hacksand I’ve also shared my organized pantry system.Today I’m sharing 21 most effective products and DIY hacks for a perfectly organized fridge.

This Storage drawers clip onto your shelves to provide a designated area for smaller items that would typically get lost in the back of your fridge. Perfect for sliced cheese, string cheese, or kids snacks. (Find it here –> Amazon.com)
Similar to the drawers above but much larger. Here’s an idea: Buy one drawer for each child and fill it with a weeks worth of healthy snacks. Tell the kids they are allowed to eat whatever is in the drawer without asking BUT once the drawer is empty that’s it for the rest of the week. (Find it here –> Amazon.com)
Make your own magnetic storage containers. Perfect for smaller snack items, or pre-chopped herbs and veggies. (via – Tatertots & Jello)
This condiment caddy will keep all your condiments in one designated location. When dinners read just pull the whole thing out and set it on the table. (Find it here –>Amazon.com)
