Eat Yer Heart Out Ikea- It's in my organized fridge.



Let me disclaim here: this is an itty, bitty fridge. I can't take a pic of my larger (still only apartment sized) fridge, because, it's...well....dirty. It's TOTALLY organized. But dirty.
Here I have created a system that only cost $7. The apartment size uses $10. Several tips I have when doing this:

1. Put like items together, this Summer it has been nice to pull out the 'condiment' or 'salad dressing' basket. If you store drinks in the garage simply fill up your 'beverage' basket for easy carrying to the fridge.

2. Use zip ties to ahdere labels made from recycled plastic. Any regular adhesive will fall away when cold.
3. If you are very persnickity buy a seperate color for your 'hands off items'. The conversation sounds like this,
"Child, where did you get this Babybel from?"
Inaudible shrugging.
"What color was the basket?"
Shuffling off to the fridge, "Well you never feed me anything good!"
I know at this point you can hear the fridge slam, pop back open, slam, pop back open. Shut.

Who actually wants to spend lots of money organizing the fridge? I will tell you it is well worth the effort, however to spend a little money doing it.
