Fridge Declutter: Sustainable & Satisfying Reorganization | Organize With Me | Lucie Fink

FRIDGE REORGANIZATION TIME! A clean refrigerator = a clean lifestyle. I have been wanting to cook more food at home and meal prep, but without an organized fridge, it's been difficult to achieve that goal. So it was time to declutter, organize and start cleaning out my fridge! Time for a KITCHEN ORGANIZATION! At the end of the deep clean, I give you a fridge tour and show you what's in my fridge!
By working with @horderly (my favorite personal organization team), I learned how to clean your fridge, how to organize your kitchen, and how to simplify your space. I picked up a ton of home organizing and spring cleaning tips for an overall organized and clean kitchen.
I totally overhauled my refrigerator and made it as sustainable as possible (HELLO Package Free glass jars!), while also making it highly functional for me and my wellness lifestyle.
You'll notice we don't have any meat in the fridge. While Michael and I do eat meat, we just prefer not to cook it ourselves at home, so we typically purchase our meat already cooked from high-quality restaurants and grocers. That's why this fridge contains mostly fruits & veggies! 🌶 🌽 🥒 🍆 🥕 🥔 🥗 🍠 🍅

Just a note, if you unnecessarily moving things from plastic to glass, for example yoghurt you’re actually using more water. You will have to clean out two containers instead of the one.

[@Wellnurse_Warrior]

This is true. But also, with time, wouldn't the chemicals in the plastic container seep into the food that is inside it? Or would that take a longer period of time to happen?

[@9melissal]

@@Wellnurse_Warrior not unless she was heating it in it.

[@wmf831]

Holy mackerel. This fridge is a whole room! Pre-cutting everything sounds nice, but that way everything also spoils a lot faster. I gave up on doing this. Did I hear that right? You buy pre-peeled garlic? In plastic boxes? To then put it in a glas jar. Garlic comes naturally with a skin that dries off, it doesn't need to be packaged at all! Certainly it doesn't need to be refrigerated , you just pull off as much as you need and the rest can still sit outside the fridge. Mind-blowing, right? Especially when you talk about sustinability! Chocolate in the fridge? But "why" I ask? It looses all its taste! Where is the cheese, or cold cuts or similar? You don't eat that and therefore you don't have it? Quick tip: NEVER put anything together with apples. They let everything ripen (and therefore spoil) a lot faster. They emit ethylen, which can also alter the taste of other things, for example carrots. Chia seeds and flax seeds should not be stored in the fridge, they should be stored cool and dry (but not in a fridge). I agree, however, very much with cleaning your fridge regulary and buying foods without packaging!

[@annap907]

Hey! I absolutely love your videos and this was so helpful! But I saw you had a biodegradable produce spray and I thought you’d want to know this eye-opening piece I read. Apparently biodegradable doesn’t mean environmentally friendly! It actually just means that product is able to break down, but usually with toxic chemicals and plastics😬 The word I now look for in my products is compostable - breaks down in plant-based materials. Hope you found this helpful!

[@mistergoodies]

Tip to eat more sustainable : buy season produce. It's both eco-friendly and healthier There is nothing like bell pepper in winter! (At least in my part of the planet)

[@luciebfink]

YES!!!!!

[@MsAnjalimnair]

Interesting to watch but not sure how practical this is. You still need to set time aside to maintain this level of organization specially if you're someone who cooks a lot, unless the goal is to simply make it aesthetically pleasing and you don't cook as much. How many pickle jars can be upcycled as a coffee mug? However, it's great if it works for you!

[@luciebfink]

HAHA I have a lot of coffee cups! This is very true though! Pickles are something that I don't buy weekly, though!

[@j.t.7690]

Great ideas but wondering how you would remember the expiration dates on some of your stuff and I believe veggies don't last as long when you precut them. I assume you go through them a lot quicker than me.

[@luciebfink]

J. T. Good call! I actually wrote it on the bottom of some of the jars on a sticker

[@luciebfink]

I also didn’t show my freezer here BUT if I have excess I’ll freeze them! Then they last wayyyy longer and you can just throw them frozen onto the stove top ;)

And it's not the best for vitamins to precut it :(

[@illiniwu]

Precut it actually very smart. It looks like she is only cutting enough to use for a few days (she is cooking for 2). I also am relearning to only buy what I will realistically eat. Many people tend to overbuy and then their food goes bad.

Pre peeled tastes like garbage.

[@Okidoki19790]

In Europe I never ever saw peeled garlic and I'm shooooook that people would buy something like that in a plastic container! Peeling garlic takes 5 seconds... It's outstanding for me to justify using plastic for something like that 😭😭😭

[@nessbu87]

Detti fully agree with you. From Sweden myself, she could peel the garlic at once and put it into a jar instead. And I also think the nutrition value of chopped vegs gets lower the more it waits....

[@GGluver22]

That would stress me out.... trying to eat all of that before it goes bad.

[@digitallocations1423]

Then you're designing your menu around your groceries instead of buying groceries with your menu in mind.

Well I dont even have the luxury to buy that many groceries as one person. I have a mini fridge and also want to make sure I dont waste food.

[@GGluver22]

My freezer is even smaller.

[@neavewatson-laird7686]

Lucie I’ve adored your videos for so long, and seriously admire your efforts to be more eco-friendly through zero waste, meal prep, etc. However, this video missed the spot in several places. Especially with the getting rid of plastic containers (or even NONE plastic containers, like the pickles), just to put the food in something else. If you know you’re going to be transferring it as soon as you get home, you could try a little harder to find alternatives.... if it’s really impossible, i get it. But I’d be lying if I said that seeing you transfer all those food sand create unnecessary waste didn’t hurt a bit

[@altosaxplayer63]

In choosing to put things in pretty glass, you are also creating more dishes to do, which wastes water. Like your plastic soy sauce bottle is not going to get too moldy to wash out later, just keep it. I dont get the purpose of having an aesthetic fridge, other than the views.

[@ricomakeda]

I agree. I’m moving some stuff to glass containers when it makes sense. But I’m leaving things in containers they come in and i am not redoing my spices.... they come in shakers, it’s fine.

Love this! I am super into fridge organizing and meal prepping at the moment. I love all the glass containers. I agree with you about the prepped veggies and grains. I don’t have time on the weekdays to cook. I have discovered if everything is pre-chopped I am more likely to make healthy food choices as it takes five minutes to throw together. My meals taste way better then take out.

[@tinar9512]

Thanks for mentioning your kitchen organization video: I'll have to check that out because I'm trying to find storage containers that actually fit in my cabinets! Lots of cute options are simply too tall or wide for the cabinets, and while storing on the counter seems aesthetically pleasing, it's not practical for me if I want to form the habit of cleaning my counters. This video was really interesting; I feel encouraged to at least peel my garlic and dice onions to have them prepped. Would love to see how much y'all keep up with this system maybe in 4-5 months! I know you did a spring cleaning video a while ago, but it would be cool to see what kind of cleaning habits/routines you have to keep your space tidy and clean in a consistent way. Everyone loves an inspiring declutter session (including me!), but then weeks go by, and I find the dust bunnies forming allies with tumbleweeds of hair. What habits do you have that keep that normal level of "clean" before it gets to a point of "well, I better set aside 2.5 days to clean everything"?

[@maebyfunke3628]

You can preserve peeled garlic cloves for much longer by filling the jar with vinegar. I thought this would pickle the garlic, but so long as I rinse the vinegar off before using a clove, I don't get any pickle-ness, just great garlic. I've also read that you can soak the cloves in a jar of vinegar for at least two days, and then drain the vinegar and add olive oil. The couple of days in vinegar preserves the garlic and staves off bacteria, and then the olive oil is preservative enough after that.

[@itsmaleesha]

MaebyFunke nvm

[@missk4934]

[@NTHodges]

You definitely have a bounty there! Many families w kids cannot afford this level of organic veg and healthy beverages. Not to mention the aesthetic factor! Just sayin... what a luxury. Please consider donating time/labor, food, or $ to a local food pantry. Many communities are in crisis re access to healthy foods for kids. Thanks for considering!

[@luciebfink]

nancy trev hodges I do this!! ❤️ have you seen my volunteering videos? I’ve made a few videos sharing ;)

[@wayfynderblu7783]

@@luciebfink that's kind of missing her point. I think the one thing that irks a lot of people with this video is because most of the time showing off a " plastic free" life style is quickly being seen more and more of a fad , and being shared as something that's more lux and well.. Instagram satisfying for a younger and smaller household instead of something that would not so easily obtained for families who don't have the ability or means to afford such things in a realistic matter. (( for example: take the all over price of everything you bought from the orignal food bought , to the glass containers and etc (( which is probably for 2 people)) and then times that by 2 for the average house hold of 4)) Wanting to reduce your plastic isn necessarily a bad idea , but there is the matter of addressing that sometimes people are hijacking something noble into a luxary to obtain. (( ie look at the price of a " eco friendly water bottle vs a one time plastic one you can pick up for half the price ) . Instead of quickly plugging a video with a quirky emote, why not consider making a video addressing those kind of issues , and if not being able to replace your plastic items , how about exploring the idea of reusing your old plastic until it has to be tossed and following that with how to properly recycle it? Reduce. Reuse . And Recycle. Also, if you are going to make alot of your videos about being plastic free , I would really try stressing how the issue is our overuse , abuse and misuse of plastic is what the bigger issue is. Not just the evils of plastic itself. For example, the man who created the plastic bag originally created it to be a reusable , so we wouldn't have to cut down so many trees to keep up with the demand for paper or clear thousands of acres of forest to make way for land fo grow cotton crops. It's the idea of SINGLE USE that's the issue.

[@yamunakalyani3072]

I like ur fridge that there is a sweet and savory side , I most definitely would be in the sweet side

[@malepivoslovakia]

It looks amazing. I on purpose buy stuff in the same glass containers so that i have more of them and it looks more uniform without extra spending. E.g. i have saved up 15 glass containers from olives and use it for spices. Also: pre-peeled garlic? Try to cut at least this one, it takes literaly 3 seconds to peel one garlic. Please! Thank you! :D

[@luciebfink]

Hi Lucy! I really admire your efforts to kive more sustainably. Here's a tip to eliminate one plastic container from your grocery run: you could buy garlic in the bulb (plastic-free!) and peel it yourself all at once when you get home, and put it in your glass jar. Convenient AND low-waste :D and it goes well with you pre-chopping all your veggies too!
