This $25 Fridge Organizing Find Doubles Your Storage Space

Whether you’re hosting a holiday soiree, cooking for your extended family, or just received a lot of delicious bites, at some point, you’re probably going to end up with quite the crowded fridge. To make sure there’s enough room in your fridge, you’ll want to try this brilliant hack: sticking an organizer intended for your cabinets inside your fridge instead. Here’s why it works. 

The idea to use a tiered cabinet organizer to create more fridge storage came from professional organizer Bonnie Hintenach. She posted a video on Instagram showing how this Amazon three-tier shelf counter and cabinet organizer tucked neatly into the corner of her fridge, proudly displaying multiple homemade pies for “a large gathering.” Normally, you couldn’t stack pies without making a sad mess, but this little wire shelf makes it possible.

Available on Amazon for $24.99, this three-tiered organizer measures 10 inches deep, 10 inches wide, and 7.1 inches tall, so it can easily fit into tighter areas, like kitchen cabinets, office drawers, and yes, even in your fridge. It’s rust-resistant and comes in three finishes: white, bronze, and chrome.

Some of the best organizing ideas are things that seem like they should’ve been happening all along. When I saw the video showcasing this fridge shelf, I immediately started wondering why I’d never seen a fridge with this kind of setup. Why just big shelves, door shelves, and some drawers? Why not dream bigger? Sure, there’s the little butter compartment, but there’s not a lot you can do with such a small space. This three-tier organizer, on the other hand, transforms any open space with a corner into slim shelves. You could use it for packages of lunch meat and sliced cheese, tortillas, even sheet masks, since storing them in the fridge adds a cooling effect.

At the same time, you may not always want a corner of your fridge dedicated to tiers of short, wide food items like pies. I get it; a fridge is an ever-evolving space, which is why I love how easy it is to put this in your fridge and take it out as needed. Plus, when it’s not in your fridge, you can use it literally anywhere else in your home. One Amazon reviewer says they use this shelf for “separating the different sized plates in the cupboard,” while another finds it “perfect” for their “router, modem, and cable box.”
