My fridge is a story of two halves. Some shelves are in great order, and others are in chaos. The difference between them comes down to whether or not they have any organizers on them.
That’s why I’m bagging these steel mesh small $13 fridge organizers from The Container Store while they are discounted for Labor Day. They’ll help make the rest of my rogue fridge items fall into line, whilst their slim profile leaves fridge shelf room for bigger items or leftovers in pots.
It’s a smart kitchen storage idea to help make the most of my tall fridge, and its equally tall shelf space, most of which is currently being wasted.
Open-fronted mesh organizers are the fix
These steel and epoxy mesh stackable open-fronted bins are perfect for stacking drinks, holding snacks, or even fruit in the fridge. Available in two colors and suitable for use all over the home.
The other fridge organizers I have are shallow, slim and long plastic bins, taking up the full depth of the shelf and work perfectly for my jars of pickles, chopped garlic, or lunch meats and dairy items. It makes grabbing multiple things at once and moving them across the kitchen in one go to make lunch a breeze.
But these Container Store stackable mesh ones are handy for my daughter’s lunch-box snacks, cans of drink, or odds and ends we pick up at the bakery, or greengrocers near the village we live in.
Happy shoppers have used them everywhere in their home, from their fridge to organizing pantries and closets.

Meanwhile, shopper Jennifer H rated these five stars for being the ‘perfect height’, adding, ‘this is great storage for the counter under the kitchen cabinets stacked two high and fits perfectly. We store all our pet treats and medications in it.’
