Maximise your fridge door space by placing a cardboard egg box inside it. Fill it up with bottles of things like sauce and mustard turned upside down.
You can efficiently store a surprising number of bottles of sauce and mustard in this way.
Extra hack 2
Before you go shopping, take a picture of the inside of your fridge. This is a great memory jogger and should avoid doubling up on perishables that then go rotten.
Extra hack 3
Identify who comes along and messes up a tidy fridge as they rummage around inside it, then create a labelled box that contains the items they are looking for. This is a good solution if you share a kitchen with perpetual snackers or kids who are constantly looking for treats.
Extra hack 4
Cover your fridge with special chalkboard paint and create an everlasting notice board. Now you can make a note of what you need and what needs eating that nobody can ignore. Be sure to keep the chalk handy!
