When it comes to organizing a fridge, I’ve learned practicality is the way to go. Not only is this approach low-maintenance, but it also makes a noticeable impact on the overall look and function of the fridge.

When choosing organizers, you want to make sure that they are actually useful and you don’t just end up taking things out of one container and putting them into another just because it looks better. While this can be aesthetically pleasing, it isn’t always necessary or worth it. Looks matter, but the function of the organizer should be key.

Other factors to consider are whether the organizer can be used regularly, if the benefits it provides outweigh the effort that goes into using it and if it is providing the intended benefit whether it be space saving, ease of access, freshness, etc. While this will and can vary from person to person depending on their lifestyle and fridge contents, these are some of the fridge organizers that are actually worth checking out.

If you are someone who regularly has bagged milk in their fridge, this is a must. While the bag it comes in may seem to be a great storage option in itself, it really isn’t compared to this compact milk bag organizer. It is easy to use – the bags are stacked vertically and there is a slot to pull them out one by one. It can fit up to three bags at a time and there is even a tab at the top to hold the best before label. It reduces the amount of space the milk bag(s) takes up plus it feels like a safer bet having the bags confined to the container instead of flopping around the fridge. An absolute must, I’ve had mine for over five years and there’s no going back.

Best egg organizer: HUAGHEE Egg Storage for Fridge

The auto-rolling feature on this egg tray is what really sells it. While I’ll be the first to admit that eggs typically come in packaging that isn’t necessary to switch out, this organizer makes it worth the swap. Available in various tier options it can fit anywhere from 18 to 54 eggs. The clear design makes it easy to see how many eggs are remaining and the auto-roll feature makes it easy to grab eggs without taking out a carton or much else. This organizer is convenient and especially great for those who have multiple dozens of eggs at a time.

Best berry organizer: Mason jars

While not typical for fruit or produce storage, mason jars make for great storage and organization options for fruit in the fridge, especially berries. These can also be stacked to optimize space. They also make for easy snacking containers. That being said, keep berries unwashed until you’re ready to eat them – so they stay fresh for longer. The best part of it all is mason jars can be used for so many purposes making these worth it.

There are multiple drink organizers suitable for fridge organization, but this one is especially great because of its ability to fit various bottles and or cans.

Each of the sections can also be adjusted as needed to fit a variety of sizes.
