In the quest for better food storage, it's common to cram the weekly groceries into the fridge. However, overstuffing not only causes issues but storing items in incorrect locations is also not effective for food safety and avoiding waste.Fresh and chilled foods require a consistent temperature to prevent spoiling, yet many of us might be making an easily avoidable error with where we store fruit juice and milk.Scott Evans, a storage expert and boss of Pink Storage, has highlighted some top fridge tips to keep your edibles fresh for longer while saving cash.

Mastering your fridge's layout also inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria, preserving your food and drink's quality. Modern fridges typically feature versatile shelving and specific sections for salads, along with handy compartments in the doors for easy access.

These spots are where many of us tend to stash our juices, milk, eggs, condiments, and other staples, reports the Express. But Scott warns that the door's variable temperatures can make perishables go off sooner than one might anticipate.

He said: "The door of the fridge seems the perfect place to keep your eggs, milk, and juices as they often have compartments for them, but due to the fridge door being the warmest in temperature, it will cause them to spoil quicker."Rather than stashing your fresh dairy and juices in the door, it's advised to keep these items on the bottom shelf of the fridge, where the temperature is more stable.
