    Packing a fridge, How ???

    Just wondering how people pack their fridges.
    It doesn't seem to matter whether its an esky or the fridge (38/40Lt), no matter how I pack it, it always ends up the same,,, crap.
    I always have to seem to pull just about everything out to get the one thing I want. The next problem is destroying stuff. I used to keep things like meat etc in tubs/boxes, but depending on how long we're away for, this can take up too much space. Not so bad when I'm on my own, but with two, it gets a bit painful.


    So, how do you pack your fridge so you can get to most stuff, and not destroy anything?
    Pics welcome too

    I find putting the stuff on the bottom in first is the easiest. I tried packing it from the top down but I got in a right old mess.

    I use elastic seperators and tubs when Im in the mood to keep the fridge sorted. Lots of square waterbottles to use up excess space.

    meat gets vac packed on plastic plates to keep it in a fixed shape.

    2/3/4l juice and milk bottles cut up and cleaned up to make drop tubs is the cheapest and easiest thing to use.

    always fill as much space as you can with water bottles when youve got the fridge running on charging power, if you dont have external charging on your batteries the next best thing is to put the drinks in either late at night or very early in the morning.

    Ffs water has never gone in my fridge any spare space is filled with beer rum shifties or perhaps Coke

    The only time there is space is when the above is running out

    I did learn the hard way to keep the fridge full of something at least. Empty fridges just love to use up batteries.

    I like the idea of the cut down bottles, I'll try that.

    ? also find packing from the bottom up is easier than from top down. Sorry...
    We have several containers with vacuum seal lids so lots of stuff goes in them to protect them. Then other stuff on top.

    I have a vacuum sealer on the shopping list, this will save space and reduce excess liquid that pre-packed meat usually has.
    Also finding plastic containers that fit neatly will help use the space wisely.
