30-Day Organize-athon 20

Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!

In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to express-organize your fridge.

Let’s go!

Day 20: Organize Your Fridge

Step 1: Grab a bag and open your fridge. Quickly scanning your shelves from top to bottom, toss into the bag anything that:

  • Has passed its use-by date
  • Has wilted, sprouted, or smells funky
  • No-one eats.

Step 2: Quickly wipe down the shelves (work around the remaining items).

Step 3: Do a quick tidy of the remaining items in your fridge.

And you’re done!

Got an Extra 5 Minutes?

Let’s freshen up the freezer:

  1. Scan your freezer and discard anything ancient, expired or of unknown provenance.
  2. Quickly wipe down the shelves or drawers.
  3. Do a quick tidy of the remaining items in your freezer.

Tomorrow we’ll declutter your pantry.

    This is done. It needed doing – both with foods past the date, and with lots of food needing to go in due to dinnerguests to night. 🙂

    Done! There was next-to-nothing in it when I started…now it’s practically empty. I guess I’m way overdue a good trip to the store!

  6. Marjon says:

    Oh yeah, baby – this was was quick and easy! We just bought a new fridge and it’s super nice and clean inside and out. The freezer is on the bottom and slides out – a snap to keep sorted.

  7. Arlene Gianelli says:

    My fridge is usually kept up pretty good so I used the time for the freezer. I actually had 5 lidded containers each with a few strawberries in them. I freeze strawberries when they’re cheap to use in smoothies over the winter. So that’s where all my containers were!! Also tossed some frozen snack foods that my kids didn’t like, no sense keeping them if no one will ever eat them. Done.
