1. Group similar items using clear storage bins

One of the best ways to save space is to start organising your fridge. You can get clear plastic storage bins and separate items according to category. This will make your fridge look neater, while making it easier for you to find what you need.

P.S. Place your snacks in front, so you won't have to reach too far for it. ;P

2. Stack cans and bottles to save space

When you have bottles and cans rolling around in the fridge, it takes up space and makes it hard for you to fit other things in. One easy trick is to use a binder clip to hold your bottles and cans in place, then stack them on top of each other to save space.

3. Make full use of the vertical space in your fridge

Give yourself more fridge space by adding detachable storage trays. These trays are especially great at filling up the spaces that you'd otherwise leave empty.

If your fridge has existing wire racks, use binder clips to hang bags of snacks and vegetables on it.

4. Freeze items into Ziploc bags and stack them on top of each other

Make the most efficient use of space in your freezer by freezing items in Ziploc bags. This allows you to stack them nicely on top of each other, instead of having a messy freezer full of different sized containers and frozen plastic bags.

Another good reason why you should store your meats and vegetables in Ziploc bags is that it helps prevent freezer burn.

When it comes to getting a refrigerator, one of the most important things you need to look at is storage space

Buying a fridge is a big decision, it’s something that you’ll be using for quite a few years. That's why it's important to get one that is long-lasting and has enough space to meet your daily needs.

The one thing you'll want to focus on when buying a fridge is capacity:
- Gross capacity: The overall capacity including racks, pillars, etc
- Net capcaity: The actual storage space that is usable

Some fridges may advertise having a large gross capacity (e.g. 400 litres), but in reality the net capacity is only 300 litres, meaning you won't be able to fit as much inside. That's why the most important thing to look at is always a fridge's net capacity.
