Quick wins
- Assign zones: dairy, proteins, leftovers, snacks/produce, condiments.
- Use clear bins to slide like drawers; label fronts for easy resets.
- Keep a “use-first” bin at eye level to reduce waste.
Steps
- Empty fridge; wipe shelves. Group by zone: dairy, proteins, leftovers, snacks/produce, condiments.
- Place clear bins sized to shelf depth; add a shallow “use-first” bin at eye level.
- Store raw meats on lowest shelf in a bin; keep produce in crispers if humidity-controlled.
- Label bin fronts; schedule a weekly 5-minute purge.
Gear ideas
- Clear fridge bins (narrow + wide mix)
- Shallow “use-first” bin
- Painter’s tape + marker for quick labels
