I find that if I use wire baskets (or plastic) to organize my freezer and refrigerator, it is so much easier to find things and also to clean them. I move the oldest items in the freezer to the bottom bin so they get used sooner. This has saved me a lot of time looking for things.

I use several of these in my refrigerator, but it does take up a lot of space. I keep soda in one, bottled water (refilled bottles) in one, small items in another, etc. I tried it in my freezer, but for some reason it doesn't work as well there.
Wow! You are so organized. I keep wanting to do this to my freezer, but I keep it pretty stocked, so I never seem to remember to measure the inside of it. I think that the next time I defrost it, I'm going to be more aggressive, and get it organized better.
I have 2 baskets on the top shelf of my pantry. I keep bags of chips in them. I don't have any trouble reaching them and nothing gets shoved to the back of the shelf and lost.
I use a rectange plastic bin on my top shelf in my fridge to keep the salad dressing in. When I need to find one. I just take the whole thing out and grab what I need and put the rest back up.
