Does each of your items have their certain place and do you actually organize it to how your shelves and bins are designated for?

or

Is it just open the door and throw it in?

What's your organization?

I actually do have this organized - it is one of the only parts of my life that is!!!
I use our drawers for butter, cheese, yogurt and the sort.

The bottom shelf is for beverages - milk, oj, a 2 liter of soda, and a big water pitcher take up the whole shelf.

The next shelf up is for produce - I keep it in Tupperware and it is at eye level for my kids, so it is the first thing they see when they open the fridge. They know they can snack on anything in those containers.

Next shelf up is for leftovers and some miscellaneous stuff.


Top shelf I have a turntable in the back for jars of things like pickles, peppers, applesauce, etc. In front of those I keep smaller things like minced garlic, half cans of broth, veggies I have chopped to prep for dinner, etc.

The door is only for condiments or bottles of sauces.

I have tried to organise the rest of the fridge but dh refused to keep it that way he just shoves things in so as long as I can see everything I gave up
