Find in the Food Inventory Post
Another thing that I feel really helps with fridge organization is taking an inventory every few months! Without taking an inventory, you may actually be reorganizing things that are expired, or things that are long-lasting, but your family isn’t ever going to finish (maybe no one liked the flavor or you changed your diet and no longer eat that food). I wrote a whole post about how to take a food inventory of your home (fridge, freezer, and pantry) and made a free printable for each area! You can find the free fridge inventory printable in that post. If this printable isn’t really your style, I have a watercolor refrigerator inventory printable in my printable watercolor home management binder.
