Organizing the Fridge

So last night my roommate Jen and I got to talking and bitching and moaning about our other roommate Tamara. Well, all that led to how horrible our fridge looked. It was chock full of crap and it is always so hard to find anything in there. Stuff in the back of the fridge that's been there for ever because no one would claim it. Well, Jen and I had had enough and we decided we need to give each of us individual shelves. We threw lots of stuff away, cleaned out the entire fridge, and labeled the shelves. We were very generous with Tam because she does cook more than we do, but I think this will show her how much stuff she actually does have and will use it. Same with us as well.
Here is the door shelves. We gave Tam the top and bottom shelves and Jen and I are sharing the middle shelf. Can you see what I'm talking about now?

Again Top shelf is Tamara's, but still not quite enough room to fit all of her stuff so Jen gave up one of the bottom drawers, and still we had to sacrifice a little space on our own shelves, TEMPORARILY, to fit the bowl of watermelon and other stuff we didn't know if it was hers or if she would want it. Mine is the second shelf and Jen's is the bottom and one drawer. I know the pictures are grainy but can you see how much stuff she has compared to us? We had to stack and stack her stuff. On Jen and My shelves everything on the right side is ours, and the stuff on the left is hers. Like I said though, only TEMPORARILY. I think this is gonna work out and will be so fabulous. I'm so excited to have my own shelf.

Apartment fridges are the WORST. Especially when there's no definite cut-off time for people to move out. Stuff can collect so easily that is nobody's. I have cleaned out my fair share, and everytime there are bags and bags of throw-away items. Nice job on the cleaning!

This has been a long time in coming and I'm glad you finally did it. I bet you'll enjoy having your own space in the fridge. How did Tam react to the change?

I love seeing all those Hormel dinners! That's what is in my fridge right now - well, that and leftovers because I keep getting asked to dinner (friends and family, not dates).

Where are you going to put your cranberry juice?
