Why Organizing By Category Is Important

Organizing by category is much more than looks and you will find out exactly what I mean!

organizing by category

Maybe you’ve been thinking about finally organizing your fridge or that cabinet underneath the sink in an aesthetic way. But when you look a little deeper, you will realize that organizing your household by categories holds so much more benefits than looks.

I fell into that realization when ordering groceries one morning and seeing how easy it was since I could see exactly what needed to be restocked.

This post is all about organizing by category!

Organizing By Category

1) You Can Easily See When You’re Out Of Stock

This is the number one reason to organize by category. You can see when you are running low on tomatoes in the fridge or clean shirts in your closet. No matter the space this is a huge help.

2) Everything Has A Spot (Less To Clean Up)

You are no longer thinking about where to shove the lettuce in the fridge or those pants in your closet. Everything has its own place that is always waiting for the item to return back home.

3) You Save Money

This is mostly for the fridge. Having a categorized fridge is like having a fill-the-blank grocery list. Especially if you are ordering your groceries, you open the fridge and start from the first shelf. If your certain product like tomatoes, for example, isn’t there, you know you are out and it’s not somewhere behind the milk. You stop overbuying things and stick to what you see.

The Benefits Of Categorizing The Fridge

  • Easy Grocery Unload
  • Save money by purchasing what you see is running low instead of random shopping
  • Stays more clean and organized

Category Ideas:

  • Veggies
  • Dairy & Eggs
  • Fruits & Juice
  • Leftovers
  • Bread
  • Snacks

The Benefits Of Categorizing Your Closet

  • Easy Laundry put away
  • You can see what you’re running low on therefore reminding you of laundry day
  • Stays more clean and organized

Category Ideas:

  • under shirts
  • t-shirts
  • work shirts
  • work pants
  • hang out pants
