Food waste is a big issue for Aussie households, and most of it comes from food being lost in the fridge. With the right storage solutions, you can extend shelf life, keep everything visible, and save money on your weekly shop.

Here are our top fridge storage tips:

1. Use Clear Storage Tubs

Large Fridge Organiser Tubs keep fruit, veggies, and snacks easy to see, so nothing gets forgotten.

2. Keep Produce Fresh with Airtight Containers

Store cut veggies, cheese, or leftovers in Twist Airtight Canisters to lock in freshness.

3. Separate Snacks for Kids

Dedicate a tub for yoghurt pouches, fruit cups, or cheese sticks. Clear Storage Tubs make it simple for kids to grab what they need.

4. Add a Turntable for Sauces

A 2-Tier Turntable is perfect for condiments, sauces, or spreads — no more bottles lost at the back.

5. Group Like Items Together

Use baskets such as the Large White Handy Storage Basket with Wooden Handle for dairy, meat, or meal-prep ingredients.

6. First In, First Out

Always move older items to the front of tubs or baskets. Clear organisers make this much easier.

7. Prep Your Fridge Like a Pantry

Treat your fridge like an extension of the pantry. Matching jars and tubs bring both style and order to cold storage.

Final Tip

Visibility is everything. Clear tubs and organisers help reduce food waste by ensuring nothing gets lost or forgotten in the fridge.
