MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – If the kitchen is the heart of your home, then the fridge is the stomach. Professional organizer Andi Willis shares some tips on how you can save time and money by simply organizing your fridge and freezer.

Willis said keeping your fridge and freezer organized will save you time when it comes to meal preparation and save you money by not wasting as much food.

The first step is you have to clean your fridge. Willis said you should get rid of any old leftovers and expired food. She suggests you wash the drawers and shelves.

Willis said you should assign a home for all of your food items. She also suggests you use labels to identify where things go.

Willis said bins allow for easier access. You can easily get to items in the back of the fridge or freezer.
