TikToker revealed a space-saving refrigerator technique using a $4 ice bucket provided by Target. Therefore, if you host a reception during the holidays, this can reduce your pressure to open the grocery store and prevent a lot of leftovers when you open the door.

Although we may try to guide our inner Clea and Joanna, a well-organized kitchen is not always easy to maintain. However, it makes cooking incredibly simple, so kitchen storage ideas like this space-saving ice bucket refrigerator tip are perfect for sitting by.

A TikTok user named @livecomposed often shares cleaning and organization tips online. A recent video shows that the fruit and vegetable drawer of the refrigerator is divided into two and contains ice buckets from Target.

Dividing these parts into two parts by neatly inserting these boxes will definitely make better use of space. @livecomposed also used an oven rack to separate the two glass bowls to make an additional temporary rack. 

When storing leftovers after a family gathering, this oven rack can double your space.
