Things are all starting to open up again now so, if your home is looking a little bit worse-for-wear after a year of working, socialising and, well, doing everything from home, it might be time for a good old declutter. If you've already tackled your over-stuffed wardrobes or messy drawers, then it's time to take a look at the kitchen. This is one of those areas that tends to be a hotbed of disorganisation (we'd recommend clicking here if you're sick to death of your full-to-bursting kitchen cupboards).

Within this space, one often-overlooked area that could usually do with a revamp is inside your fridge. WRAP estimates that the UK creates around 9.5 million tonnes of food waste per year – 70% of which comes from individual households – at a cost of over £19 billion and more than 25 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. Ouch.

In busy households especially, a crammed fridge can lead to foods being shoved to the back and forgotten about, where they go off and need to be thrown away. Mess here also makes it trickier to see what you've got hiding away, making it harder to plan meals that make the most of your ingredients. As a result, you're more likely to go out and buy extra – not great for your monthly budget or the environment.

Luckily, there are plenty of inexpensive fridge organisers to help solve this problem. We've rounded up a selection of practical storage boxes to ensure you can see what you've got at-a-glance, plus a range of preservation bags and other savers to keep produce fresher for longer, so you can save money, the planet and (maybe most importantly) your sanity.

Fridge organisers to store supplies properly

Using clear plastic containers means you can stack things neatly while still being able to see what you have to hand. It's much easier to pull out a whole box, find what you need then replace it, rather than rooting around your shelves and dislodging precariously-stored items.

These fridge organisers can be especially useful for cans (if you've tried keeping fizzy drinks cans in their cardboard packaging, only for it to go soggy and stick to the shelf, you'll understand) or for clearly defining separate areas in your fridge. Clipping additional drawers to the bottom of the shelves can also create valuable additional space for items like cheese or fruits.

As a bonus, keeping food in containers can also make cleaning easier. As everything is kept off the shelves directly, there should be far less spills or smears – and the vast majority of fridge organisers can simply be popped in the dishwasher.

Fridge organisers to keep food fresh

There are plenty of fridge organisers that'll preserve the life of your food – even those with short shelf lives like fruit and veg – while also storing them neatly. This meat/cheese slice box will stop sliced cheese and ham from oxidising or drying out once you've opened the packet, while this onion pod (which also works for avocados, lemons and tomatoes) will keep any remaining halves fresh while preventing bad smells.

Investing in some reusable sandwich bags (along with some beeswax wraps) is another great way to cut down on your single-use plastics, too.
