Ok, you guys. I think I finally did it. I organized my fridge! After losing countless containers of leftovers to the back of the fridge, I got tired of throwing away SO much food.
My kids are early readers still, but they recognize most of the basic fridge labels. Now they can put things away in the correct spot, making my life so much easier.
My favorite food storage products:
- glass food storage containers – I have worked really hard to banish plastic food storage containers from our home. I have two sets of these containers, and I love them. They can be a bit tricky top open and close at first, but I’ve also never had one leak in a lunch box or cooler bag. Oh, and the glass bottoms are oven-safe!
- mason jars – I will store just about anything in a glass jar. Re-use old salsa jars, or buy wide-mouth jars for easier storage.
- flat fridge storage containers – for deli meat, bacon, cheese, etc.
If you don’t have a Cricut, don’t worry! I’ve got a few options for you.
- Use a label maker. They really have come a long way.
- Use stickers – this may take a bit more time to line up the letters.
- Download this FREE printable! You can print this PDF out on clear sticker paper. Trim them down, and label your fridge shelves. too easy!

I did this in my fridge too, but only labelled the doors since it’s hard to always place certain things in one spot in our fridge. Adding labels does help everyone put things back where it belongs.
