July 2010 Tip of the Month

Chill out refrigerator clutter

Like so many of us, the clutter of jars and bottles within our frig makes it almost impossible to find what you want when you need it.

Eliminate frustration and save time with these easy steps to organize your refrigerator.

• Begin by tossing out outdated or spoiled items. Check the expiration date. If in doubt, throw it out!
• Leave ample space and designate one shelf just for leftovers. You’ll always know where to find them for a quick snack.
• Group jars and bottles of condiments together by category i.e.  salad dressings, mustards, relishes, olives, pickles, etc. and place them into individual shallow clear plastic containers.  Use one container for each category.

This cuts down on wasted time shifting through and searching for a particular item. Just slide out the container and you’ll quickly find the item you need.

Organizing the refrigerator with containers helps control clutter and makes it easy to keep clean.
