Jen Jones on Instagram: "Last week Friday was #nationalcleanoutyourfridgeday. I typically clean mine out each Sunday, so I thought I would share our fridge for the week and a couple of my top organizing tips. 🍋 . Prior to doing your weekly shopping, I recommend doing a quick inventory of what you have so you can base the following week’s meals on your existing food items. . Quickly wipe down the shelf and drawer surfaces before putting freshly purchased groceries away. . Group items in your fridge by category. This ensures everyone can easily find things and also speeds up the food prep and breakfast/lunch making process. . Clear bins and containers are superstars in the fridge. They keep the categories in check and also act as drawers so things don’t get lost near the back. It also means you won’t need to label/relabel each week. . A little prep goes a long way. I try to grocery shop early Sunday and then spend some time during a football game to wash and chop fruits/veggies, cook up a bunch of chicken for quick lunches and dinners, and whip up a couple of breakfast options the kids can easily re-heat in the morning before school. Making veggie snack packs encourages us to grab healthier items. . When I make the time to do these things I feel so much better heading into a new week! Do you have any tips to add? .

    Reiterating what the other guy said about NL ones for the UK; ours don’t use that style of system, ours use moulded protrusions in the plastic that glass shelves slide into, in my experience both narrow upright fridge freezers and classic stacking ones use this system

    I couldn’t explain why they do this beyond hygiene maybe or perhaps safety, as a child can’t grab and pull an entire shelf down on themselves?

      Thank you for the detailed comment. Our system’s shelves would be very hard for a child to pull down. They are very secure and can hold a lot of weight. I find it very interesting what has been adopted across the world and what hasn’t.
