Maintaining Your Deep Chest Freezer
Now, because I use these bags, my freezer stays relatively clean and I only clean it once a year mostly to remove any ice/frost buildup.
If you decide to use this method, you will see what I mean.
Also, once a month, I replace all the bags.
I toss the used bags into the wash with my kitchen towels and reuse them the following month.
Easy peasy!
These bags are normally 99 cents so if I see bags getting frayed from washing and use, I don’t mind shelling out a buck here or there for a bag.
It’s worth it just to keep my freezer clean and to make it easy to remove my foods from the deepest part of my freezer!
Keeping your fridge organized can make a huge difference in your daily routine. From improving the freshness of your food to making meal preparation smoother, an orderly fridge can transform how you manage your kitchen. By setting up a proper system, you’ll ensure that your fridge stays clean, reduces waste, and saves you time and energy when hunting for ingredients. In this guide, we’ll explore clever fridge organization tips that will help you optimize space and make the most of every shelf and drawer. Whether you have a large family or live alone, these tricks will benefit everyone.
1. Categorize Items: Start by organizing your fridge by category. Group items like dairy, meats, vegetables, and condiments together in designated areas. This makes finding what you need easier and prevents different food types from mixing. Store items you use regularly in the front and less frequently used items in the back. Doing this ensures that nothing gets lost or goes bad.
2. Use Clear Storage Bins: Clear storage bins are game changers for fridge organization. They allow you to see what’s inside without rummaging through everything. By using them, you can group smaller items like snacks, sauces, or leftovers together and free up shelf space. Choose stackable bins for even better space optimization.
3. Implement a First-In, First-Out System: A simple way to reduce food waste is by applying the “first-in, first-out” rule. When you bring home new groceries, move older products to the front and place newer ones at the back. This ensures you use up items before they expire, saving you both time and money.
4. Adjust Shelf Height: Many fridges have adjustable shelves, yet most people never take advantage of them. By modifying shelf heights, you can fit larger items like tall bottles or bigger containers in a way that makes the best use of space. Play around with the arrangement until you find a layout that works for your typical grocery haul.
