7 mistakes that cause you to run out of space in your refrigerator

It is difficult to imagine a modern apartment without a refrigerator. Why is it that even if it is spacious enough, there may not be enough space in it?

Storing food in it that does well without cold

Many people, out of habit, stuff all the things they bought at the store there. There they have bread, unopened cans, bananas, cookies and much more that doesn’t belong there. In order not to overload it with excess products, it is necessary to carefully study the information about the method of storing purchases; some of them need refrigeration only after opening, and some do not need it at all.

No menu

Making a meal plan not only helps you stay in shape, but also helps you avoid cluttering your food storage areas. Having created a menu, a person will buy only those foods that go well together, which means the refrigerator will be in order.

Inattention to expiration dates

Some food has a very short shelf life once opened, and if you don't keep an eye on it, you can quickly clutter your shelves with spoiled food without even noticing it. Therefore, before putting anything aside, you should carefully read the information on the label, or even better, keep lists in a special application.

Storing prepared food in pots and pans

Many prepared foods require low temperatures. But if you keep soups in pots and roasts in a frying pan, then there won’t be enough space for other foods.Therefore, it is better to transfer them into special food containers, this way the refrigerator will be orderly and beautiful.

Inability to properly organize contents

For the refrigerator, as for other places where something is stored, there are special life hacks, following which you can maintain order there. By organizing contents into categories, you can not only prolong the freshness of products, but also prevent confusion.

Lots of extra packaging

Some products are packaged in very large bags that take up a lot of space. It is better to get rid of such packaging immediately and transfer the food to convenient containers. This way there will be more free space on the shelves and less clutter.

Ignorance of content

Some people are very inattentive and simply do not know what and where they have. For this reason, they can buy a product they already have, and more than once. Therefore, it is important to frequently take inventory and make lists of goods available at home. This will save money and shelf space.

 

Thus, a properly composed menu and careful attention to already stored products will help keep the house and strategic places in order.
