Organizing on the Cheap

I love everything to be nice and organized. But with two kids that isn’t always easy. I am in my kitchen quite a bit and I hate when the cabinets and fridge are so messy I can’t find what I am looking for. One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to get more organized so I headed over to my local Dollar Tree this morning. They have the cutest bins and other great stuff to help you get organized.

I have a cabinet I use to put all of the kids plates,cups and bowls in so they can reach it. Here is a before picture:

I got some cute blue baskets from Dollar Tree and got two baskets. I put all some of their cups in one and all of their bowls in the other. Then I just clean up everything else. It looks much better.

I cleaned out the fridge it was messy and I had to throw out some food that was expired.

I took out everything off of each shelf and wiped them down. I reorganized some stuff. I got some cute baskets with handles which is perfect to grab and take out quickly. I used one for meat and one for cheese. I even labeled them.

    I need to do this!! My fridge and pantry are in desperate need of reorganizing and I’m sure I have some expired food that needs thrown out.

    I just cleaned my kitchen up too. It seems like my sippy cup cabinet and my fridge always need straightening up. These are great ideas, I think I will pick up a few little baskets today and try this.

    I love baskets but never thought about the fridge. I really like your ideas and think I’ll use some of them. Thanks
