   On the refrigerator door, there should be shelves. On the top shelf (may have a cover), put in your cream cheese and butter in order to organize your refrigerator shelves. On every shelf after the top shelf on the door, put in your salad dressings, sauces, condiments, and cheese.

   Your drinks and bottles will go on the largest refrigerator shelf, which will usually be the top shelf inside the refrigerator. Drinks need to go on the largest shelf because they're commonly the biggest objects you'll have to store in the refrigerator.

   In your refrigerator, there should be two drawers at the bottom. In the top drawer, put your meats that don't need to be frozen on one side and your vegetables (like lettuce and tomatoes) on the other side. Fill the second drawer with fruit.

   Now you'll need to fill up the rest of the refrigerator shelves. Organize your yogurt, sour cream, and eggs on one shelf. Put all your leftovers on another shelf and organize any other similar foods on the last few shelves. You're done!
