Use Containers
Containers are your friend when it comes to fridge organization. Group like items together and create zones for your containers. Use airtight containers to store leftovers and cut-up fruit or veggies. Fridge bins with handles (from $20) are great for snacks, condiments and anything else that you access daily. A variety of containers keep your fridge clean and make it easy to see what you need to pick up on your next grocery run. Get the rest of your house in order with these smart storage containers.

Create Labels with a Chalk Marker
Once you’ve organized your food into containers, label them! Instead of stick-on labels that can peel off or get stained with food, try using a chalk marker ($25 for 4). Chalk markers write smoothly on plastic and wipe right off with water, which is perfect for fridge containers that might get used for different items depending on your needs. Labels not only help identify what’s in each container, but they also can be used for expiration dates and to help everyone in the family know where items belong.
