One of the best things I ever organized in my apartment was my pantry. It drove me absolutely crazy to open my pantry and have to search for the food I needed. Not to mention a ton of food ended up going to waste just because it was pushed towards the back and forgotten about.

To organize my pantry I bought a ton of large bins and labeled them (baking, snacks, drinks, etc.) This made everything so much easier to find and just look so much better overall. Opening my pantry is now an ~experience~ rather than an annoyance.

Definitely felt like a 40-year-old dad with how excited I got over organizing my garage but hey how can you not appreciate how insanely good this looks?

It takes a little physical labor but all you need to organize your garage are metal shelving units like these ones from Amazon, lots and lots of bins, and if you’re feeling super ambitious, labels.

When I was planning my fridge organization, I saw so many storage organization ideas I got pretty excited to organize and let’s say I went a little overboard. I will admit my fridge looked super good, but as I used it I realized it was kind of impractical. I labeled anything and everything in my fridge and it was filled to the brim with containers. What started out as a way to make my fridge more organized led to it becoming the least organized it’s ever been and extremely inefficient.

Now, I am not saying you shouldn’t use containers or labels - I use them to this day and love them. But they must be used in a healthy amount, and make sure not to go overboard like I did the first time! Now for what you should do. Use stackable containers to maximize vertical space in your fridge, keep the food you reach for most often in practical places, and organize according to how much food you need to keep in your fridge.
