Getting Organized:
In your home and homeschool
Let’s clean out the refrigerator today. Throw out the science experiments. Add items to your list that you are out of. Combine items that are the same. Plan your menu around the things that you need to use. If you clean your refrigerator out weekly, it won’t take long to do this. You will save time and money, too. The picture above is not actually my refrigerator in case you are wondering. I use stock photos for most of my posts online. I actually have two refrigerators that I keep cleaned out weekly. I am able to buy enough produce each week for my large family, so I use both refrigerators daily.
