As households grow or the cost-of-living increases, buying more at once or purchasing in bulk is often a great idea – until you realise that your fridge doesn’t have enough space to accommodate your latest grocery shop. Instead of trying to squeeze more items into the fridge, we’ve rounded up our top 5 fridge food storage tips so that you can enjoy plentiful space for essentials, new items and treats. Much-loved fridge brand Westinghouse is also here to deliver, with a range of innovative storage spaces to ensure all your needs are met. Check out our fridge food storage tips below. 1. Categorise Your Food Create a sense of order and arrangement so that all your items have a usual ‘spot’ that then makes it easier for you and your household to access and restock. For example, if the fridge has two crisper drawers, divide your fresh produce so that fruits are in one drawer and vegetables are stored in the other. Store eggs in the egg tray (if included) so that you know where they are, and this ensures less risk of breakage. Westinghouse’s 624L Side by Side Refrigerator is great for categorising your produce with its two crisper drawers (WSE6630SA). 2. Adjust Storage Space Change up the fridge’s interior to suit your cooling needs, for example, Westinghouse’s FlexStor™ adjustable door baskets can be moved so that you can make space to store a wide range of items. The adjustable nature of the baskets means that you can create extra space to accommodate for tall drink bottles, sauce bottles and the like. Westinghouse’s 541L French Door Fridge features FlexStor™ door baskets for storage convenience (WQE6060BB). Westinghouse’s 624L Side by Side Refrigerator 3. Maximise Flexible Compartments If your fridge has dedicated storage spaces, take advantage of this to meet your changing food cooling needs. The adjustable FlexSpace Fully Convertible Drawer in Westinghouse’s 609L French Door Fridge (WHE6170SB) features 5x pre-set modes that can be easily set to suit your cooling. At a touch of button, change conditions whether you need extra freezing space for bulk buys or want to chill drinks before entertaining. 4. Use Up the Extras Whether it’s the included wine rack, the water dispenser, or the Westinghouse exclusive SnackZone, make a habit of using up the extra features and functions so that you can enjoy greater storage space. Westinghouse’s 541L French Door Fridge (WQE6060BB) includes a plumbed water dispenser, eliminating the need for water bottles and jugs in the fridge, and the wine rack is great for creating more space for chilling wine when entertaining. Westinghouse’s 609L French Door Fridge Families will love the spacious capacity of the Westinghouse 609L French Door Fridge which has a plumbed ice and water dispenser as well as a SnackZone that’s the perfect spot for storing snacks such as fruits that the whole family can access (WHE6170SB). 5. Continually Unpack As you and your household make your way through the food in your fridge, move the contents into appropriate storage boxes and other devices so that you are automatically creating more space for new items. A good example of this is moving almost-finished yoghurt into smaller containers and getting rid of unnecessary packaging such as the cardboard found around canned drinks. Westinghouse’s 541L French Door Fridge Need a bigger fridge? Thankfully, Westinghouse’s large range of refrigerators means that there’s one for every home. Whether you’re after a fully customisable compartment to help you entertain, or you’re in need of a water dispenser to keep everyone hydrated, Westinghouse has a fridge for every household, no matter the size or lifestyle.
