I live alone and have a pretty small refrigerator. I found that buying one of those little plastic baskets from the dollar store and putting all your jams, jellies, etc. in it on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator. It makes it a whole lot easier to find smaller stuff like that, just pull out the basket and it's all there. It's just something I dreamt up while cleaning out my refrigerator one day and found jars here, there and everywhere.

Another idea is to use those screw and nail drawers that you find in the tool section for spices. I love mine!

I do this in my freezer, since I cook in bulk for the week. I divide the food according to the number of servings I need in labeled freezer ziplock bags (some, like spaghetti sauce, can be one serving each since the kids like pasta or pizza for a snack), freeze them flat and then store them on end in small, labeled baskets to organize them according to main ingredient - beef, chicken, vegetables, etc. Saves time and stress going through all the frozen food chucked everywhere! Gives me more space, too.

what a good idea that mulberry204 had about putting the small appliances in plastic wash basins. It sure keeps everything together and on hand..gonna' try it. Also what KLJohn said about putting packages of cheese in small baskets..I also put those little packs of catsup, mustard, mayo, etc you get from the fast food places in a zip lock bag. I find these little critters get lost.

I do the same thing for packages of cheese. Saves lots of room!

I like that idea too. I also keep my cupboards cleaner by placing everything - iron, coffee maker, mixer, etc. in plastic wash basins. It keeps everything together & it keeps the shelves clean.

That's a great idea! I'm just getting used to this empty nest thing and have been downsizing from quart jars of everything and finding myself with many, many small jars and bottles. This should help. Thanks!
