Eta top basket is food for the baby and bottom basket is where I put stuff that's fair game for H/I need him to eat before it goes bad, lol.

That's a great idea!

I have the fridge done but am taking a break before the freezer - it is baaad. And then I have to do the chest freezer, but that one will require H's help.

Before on top, after on bottom.

I usually do this once every couple of weeks. I have so much ice cream. The containers of cream is to make more.

I did this about six months ago, so it hadn't gotten too out of control. I took pictures but they look the same.

Curious, what's the oldest date you guys are finding? I found something (pine nuts) dated January 2014 in the freezer.

We had 3 pork shoulders at the bottom of the chest freezer that I knew were old but they were dated 2013 lol. Into the garbage they went.

We desperately need this. Will report back!

I did it already but it's so underwhelming because we go grocery shopping tomorrow and we always aim to clear out the fridge before we go. I do have pics but pro boards isn't letting me upload right now so I'll upload later!

Ahhh, the 1st week would be the scariest part of our house.

Before and after of fridge. It was pretty easy since we were going grocery shopping the next day. But I tend to keep our fridge organized because otherwise things go to waste!

PS- Don't mind the "tiger dog"... as drawn by DD.

I wish I knew how to flip them...

Before is after hosting 2 parties in a weeks span and not being home in between. So it needed cleaned more than organized.

Here is how I try to sort the fridge-

Inside:

Top shelf- milk, eggs, and any other beverages we happen to have around.

Next shelf- this is stuff that needs to be eaten sooner rather than later, mom brought lots of bad food this weekend that needs to be used up but I often find myself sticking produce here on Sundays that is close to turning.

Next shelf- snacks

Top drawer- cheese and lunchmeats/hotdogs

Middle drawer- produce

Bottom- overfill produce, we haven't been the to store so this is clear.


Door:

Top self- butter

Next- pizza sauces, syrup, beer

Next- condiments, which is never this full but hosted 4 events in the pas month...

Next- sauces, dressings...

Bottom- Items needed for asian cooking

Oh and I didn't clean the top. It's full of paperplates from E's party that just need to go into the cupboard above the fridge.

I didn't do the freezer because I just did it like a month ago and it's still in good shape. The fridge definitely needed it!

[cincodemayo]

I didn't do my fridge yet but I just reorganized my spice cabinet. Felt good to throw old crap away.

[Deleted]

I need to do this. The fridge is fairly empty and I'm 99% sure the only old thing in it to toss is the celery. I have been great on keeping up with that.

However, the whole thing is a slimy sticky mess.

I'll do it tonight while the kids eat I think.

[greencrayon]

No before, but here's the after. I hate side by sides!

[greencrayon]

What's next week? I always have free time Sunday night.

[hetty]

Fridge before and after. The before is embarrassing! Also our fridge is old and broken and missing the drawers.

Freezer before and after. I moved all of the ice packs to one side and moved all the ice cream up top with the fruit and veg.

Tinypic is not being my friend today so I'm not bothering with the pics of the doors. I loathe my freezer. It's way too small. Stuff is always falling out, so I bought some bins. They might help to keep things organized but they are sacrificing space so I don't know. My freezer looks almost identical to hetty 's.

I'm not done with the freezer yet...but the fridge is so much better! It was packed because of a shower I hosted last week.
