Fewer things are more frustrating than cutting down on takeout in favor of home cooking, only to find all of your hard-earned and delicious groceries have gone to waste. Enter the best clear fridge organizers that’ll help you easily identify your food so you can get to it while it’s still fresh.

Unlike storage containers with lids, fridge organizers are a type of bin that you can easily reach into during hectic mornings and rushed dinners. They also help promote fridge organization by allowing you to arrange your fridge in a way that feels intuitive to you.

If you’re looking to reclaim control over your fridge clutter (you’re not alone!), we’ve rounded up the best clear fridge organizers from some of our favorite outlets like The Container Store, Bed Bath & Beyond, and Target.

If the best things come in pairs, the best fridge organizers come in packs. This convenient eight-pack of best-selling fridge organizers measures 12.5 by 6.3 inches with a height of 3.5 inches, making them ideal for storing both shorter food items and containers, and taller ones like condiments and drinks. Each of the plastic organizers is stackable should you wish to save extra space, and the built-in handles allow you to easily maneuver them around or transfer them to the kitchen counter.

While bins have a tendency to shuffle around, fridge bins stay affixed to your shelves, lending a more streamlined look to its interior. These two drawers with over 1,000 Amazon reviews are suitable for fridge shelves between 11.8 and 16.9 inches deep and less than 0.6 inches tall for the tracks to stay secure. Free of hardware with optional dividers, the drawers make for a great solution to all that unused space between two shelves.

Drinks are notoriously tricky to store because they tend to roll forward when placed horizontally, and they’re often made of delicate glass that isn’t compatible with everyday jostling. At 13 by 9 by 4 inches, this InterDesign bin can support most cans and juice boxes while fitting into tight spaces. It includes feet to keep it secured to your fridge shelf, and its curved shape allows a single drink to descend, giving it a novelty vending-machine-like vibe.

Rolling out this fridge caddy is the equivalent of rolling out a red carpet for your food. Beloved by Target shoppers, it features wheels for an assembly-free drawer and fridge organizer in one. The 6-inch-wide caddy contains handles for seamless transportation and two adjustable dividers to customize your compartments depending on the contents of your fridge.

Turn your kitchen into a DJ set with this plastic turn table that swivels food à la a lazy Susan. The 11-inch fridge organizer rotates to maximize space while preventing you from having to reach your hand into the cluttered ether. Its textured surface keeps it in place on your fridge shelf, and it features dividers to better organize your condiments, spices, and sauces into helpful categories.

If your fridge needs an entire overhaul, consider a comprehensive set. Overstock’s best-selling fridge organizer kit features everything you need to reclaim space in your fridge and help you consume food while it’s still in its prime. The 14-piece set comes with two wide fridge bins, two narrow freezer bins, a soda can organizer, an egg holder, ice cube trays, a whiteboard and marker, and more. The BPA-free plastic is food safe and allows you to see exactly what ingredients you have on hand for meal-prep Mondays.

Freezer clutter tends to be a result of forgotten leftovers and a miscellany of frozen pizzas. If that sounds relatable, it’s time to grab this divided bin from The Container Store. It comes in three sizes to suit your specific freezer, has removable dividers to keep your foods upright so you can easily identify them from all angles, and features convenient handles to facilitate carrying them without freezing your fingers off.

Evoke the chic and utilitarian style of a cupcake tray with mDesign’s 2-tier spinning organizer for your fridge. The two-pack features raised edges to prevent all your jars, cans, and glasses from tipping over, and its chrome details give it an elegant edge that makes it look far more expensive than it is. The fridge organizers measure 9 inches by 7.8 inches and help optimize space in all those hard-to-reach areas—a smart solution for your fridge, pantry, cabinet, and beyond.

Storing wine is a whole other beast. Not only are wine bottles considerably taller than the average space between shelves, but they’re prone to shattering if you keep them in a traffic-heavy fridge. Keep your precious sauv blancs and Pinot Gris safe while you chill them for guests with this fan-favorite set of two wine organizer racks. They’re freestanding, so you can transfer them from the fridge to the table in a flash, and they keep wine in its intended resting pose—horizontal, so as to keep its cork moist and prevent oxidation.

No matter what’s on the menu, most fridges can benefit from a deep organizer bin, like this clear plastic rendition with handles from Bed Bath & Beyond. Its two removable dividers allow you to customize three compartment sizes, and it measures 14 inches by 6 inches by 8 inches to suit most fridges and freezers.
