15 Aldi Finds Worth Buying To Organize Your Fridge

You open your friend's fridge and help yourself to a can of sparkling water. But mid-grab, you notice how enviably tidy and organized their setup is. Take it in, get inspired, and make it happen in your own life with some Aldi purchases that are both affordable and designed with ease of use in mind. Aldi is known for its affordable home items, ranging from organizers to stylish decor. However, just like Mr. Gump's famed "box of chocolates," you never know what you're going to get at your neighborhood Aldi; what's plentifully stocked in one location might never grace the shelves of another.

Knowing that it's a crapshoot, step into your local Aldi to see if you can luck out on some of these 16 refrigerator organizational tools. For reasonable prices, come home with marvels of beverage storage, removable trays that keep messes contained, and drawers that clip to fridge shelves to take advantage of unused vertical space. Many of these products come with attractive pre-printed labels that will add convenience to your new Aldi-made system. We've even thrown in some creative repurposing of other Aldi merch that stands in beautifully for corralling fridge clutter, both inside the chill chest and out.

Oh, the frustration of bottles that are too tall for your fridge shelves. Just turn them sideways and slide them in, right? Well, the fact that the bottles roll makes this kind of an irritating solution. If you fill your fridge with bottles of wine, beer, or sparkling water, Aldi's Kirkton House 2 Pack of Bottle Holders will put the brakes on rolling beverage containers. The two stackable components accommodate three bottles each. The product is not available on Aldi's website, but it may be available in select stores. 

If you don't throw away plastic containers and instead reuse them around your home and garden, you're doing the earth a solid. However, containers like yogurt tubs usually feature opaque and tapered sides, meaning they don't help you see what's inside or make the most efficient use of your fridge or freezer space. The Crofton 10-Piece Food Storage Containers will make your leftovers easy to find in the fridge or freezer. Plus, they are leak-proof and microwave safe. 

While 12-packs of soda often come in fridge-ready boxes that can slide onto a shelf, and even have a removable corner that turns it into a can dispenser, they're not always aesthetically pleasing. For drinkers of all things canned, a clear-sided Crofton Clear Can Organizer from Aldi will keep cans organized without the visual clutter of a soda box. Capable of organizing up to nine cans, the clear container makes it easier to ID what you've got ready to quench your thirst. While not sold online, the organizer may be available in certain stores.

Similar to organizing your fridge using Dollar Tree items, Aldi also has desktop storage essentials that can easily be repurposed for your fridge. Pick up a Kirkton House Clear Desk Organizer and Magazine Holder and use it as clever storage for bottles and cans. Stack two or three of them side by side into mini shelves ideal for keeping small items together and accessible. Aldi's magazine racks are clear plastic, an aesthetically-pleasing choice for a fridge. Aldi's online retail store does not sell the organizers, but you may have luck finding them in select stores. 

The Kirkton House Clear Desk Organizer and Letter Tray is broad and shallow, making it easy to slide in and out of the fridge. The tray has a clear plastic barriers on three sides and is open in the front, so you'll have a convenient edge exposed for pulling it toward you. What you might appreciate most, though, is its mess-preventing capabilities. Rest drippy, sticky items on it to make cleanup a much simpler affair. At this time, the letter trays are only available in select Aldi stores.

It's hard if not impossible to enjoy a beautifully organized fridge that's also filthy. Pick up a roll of Crofton Fridge Liners that you can cut to size for any surface in the icebox. Replace the liners when they've gotten beyond what a quick wipe will clean. If you store things on top of your fridge, add a strip of liner there as well, making it easier to clean when the time comes. Aldi's fridge liners are not sold on the website at the time of writing, but select stores may have them in stock. 

Your fridge may be roomy enough to clip a drawer to the underside of a fridge shelf. The Crofton Fridge Drawer from Aldi fills up space that often goes unused, with an added feature that you'll love — the drawer is divided into four equal-sized compartments for even more organizational possibilities. Its clear sides help you keep track of those elusive essentials that often get lost in the back. While currently unavailable online, the drawers may be available in some Aldi stores. 

Whether your own chickens or the local Kroger provides you with eggs, a Crofton Clear Egg Tray will do wonders to protect your future omelets. These containers accommodate 14 eggs, giving you space for those last two eggs hogging real estate in their nearly empty carton. Aldi's egg tray has a durable clear plastic design and a flat lid that unlocks possibilities for storing a few things on top. At the time of writing, the egg tray is only available in select Aldi stores. 

Rectangular, clear-sided, and equipped with a handle-like lip, the Crofton Clear Small Fridge Tray is a freestanding drawer that your fridge can't do without. Its tall sides make it more like a bin than a tray that's ideal for containing items like packaged snacks and small fruit. Never lose your favorite hot sauce again; the height of its walls is also a solution for small condiment bottles that tend to tip on their sides and roll to hidden depths of the fridge. The fridge trays are only available in certain stores at this time.

Like its little sister the small tray, the Crofton Large Fridge Tray is a larger bin-like tray, with clear sides and a handle-lip for effortless organization. This helpful addition is essential for storing bulkier items such as yogurt tubs or large jars of pickles and pasta sauce. Its generous size could also be a convenient storage solution for meal prepping. The large fridge tray is not sold on Aldi's website, but it may be found at certain store locations. 

Puzzle games on your phone are fun, but what's not fun is rearranging your fridge contents like a game of Tetris to find that one hidden bottle of salad dressing. Lazy Susans are practical for dining tables and countertops, so why not borrow it for the fridge? The Crofton Oval Shaped Turntable from Aldi makes sifting through the fridge more effortless. This clear plastic turntable is oval-shaped with two elongated sides that eliminate wasted space. While not available on the website, the tray may be sold in some Aldi locations. 

The Crofton Clear Produce Containers might be Aldi's most useful must-have for fridge organization. The rectangular, clear-sided boxes come with lids and perforated bases that provide air flow that help maintain freshness. Don't worry about dripping, because the container also comes with a tray base to catch extra moisture. Just dump your farmers' market finds straight into the bin. Better yet, take it to your kitchen garden for a harvest helper that also serves as a colander for rinsing.

Forget the chore of washing multiple containers after lunch each day. This 20-pack of 3 Compartment Food Storage Containers from Aldi makes meal prep and cleanup easy breezy. The set provides a week's worth of lunch containers for a household of four. Plus, the trays are safe for the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher, but the lids are not. Plus, they can be stacked in neat rows to keep the fridge organized. 

Granted, Aldi's Kirkton House Small Metal Storage Baskets are usable virtually anywhere, but they can work especially well in the fridge. On your countertop, a couple of attractive baskets can transform what often becomes an unsightly dumping ground into a tidy arrangement. The baskets' bamboo handles and metal mesh sides can serve as a bread basket or a stylish holder for dry goods. In the fridge, the baskets can serve as stylish containers for citrus fruit, apples, avocados, or condiment bottles.
