Day 2 Mini Challenge - Refrigerator Organization

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is doing good with the mini challenges so far. Yesterday we tackled beauty/hygiene organization and today its the refrigerator. Luckily for me, tomorrow is grocery shopping day so we were pretty empty to start with. I always clean the fridge before we grocery shop and for leftovers, I usually toss those after 2-3 days so it doesn't get very messy anyway.

Here's my before:

We have a pretty small fridge so we have to be creative with storing things. But here you can see, its a little messy. The red bowl had some rice that needed to be tossed, beside that was sausage that didn't belong there etc. It just needed a little tidying up. 

And here's the after. All I did was put things back in their spot, group everything up, and toss out anything that was old. As you can see, there are 2 containers at the bottom. One is used for snacks such as fruit cups, applesauce, pudding, etc. and the other is where I keep meat. I'll keep deli meat, sausage, and/or meat that I'm thawing out in there. It keeps things all together but also, if I thaw meat and it leaks, that leak is contained. I actually just dealt with that recently and it was much easier to clean the container rather then the entire fridge and its contents. I'll probably add a 3rd container soon to house jars, condiments,etc. that don't fit in the door. Anyway, that's all for today! By the way, You can find these containers at Walmart in the kitchen organization section for around $2.50 each.

Happy organizing!
