TikToker shares ice bucket space-saving fridge hack just in time for the holidays

A TikToker has revealed a fab space-saving hack for the refrigerator, using $4 ice buckets from Target. So if you're hosting over the holidays, this could make unpacking your grocery shop a little less stressful — and prevent an avalanche of leftovers as you open the door.

As hard as we might try to channel our inner Clea and Joanna, a neatly organized kitchen isn't always easy to maintain. But, it makes cooking infinitely easier, so kitchen storage ideas like this ice bucket space-saving fridge hack are handy to have up your sleeve.

A TikTok user called@livecomposed often shares cleaning and organization tips and tricks online. A recent video shows the fruit and vegetable drawers of a fridge divided up into two, with ice cube buckets from Target.

Splitting these sections into two by neatly slotting in these boxes definitely makes better use of the space. @livecomposed also uses oven racks to divide two glass bowls, making an extra makeshift shelf. 

This oven rack shelf will double your space when it comes to storing leftovers after family get-togethers.
