Remove the shelves.
Sometimes with mini-fridges,
removing a shelf will actually give you more storage options. Items
such as milk cartons and water pitchers won’t normally fit in a
compact refrigerator without first removing a shelf to free up some
room.

Stack items. The
best way to fit as much in your refrigerator as possible is by
maximizing vertical space. The best way to maximize vertical space
is by stacking your items – whether it is cans of soda or plastic
containers filled with leftovers. Just make sure that your tower of
food is sturdy enough that it doesn’t come crashing down on you next
time you open the door.

Downsize.
Mini-fridges call for mini
food sometimes. If you are having trouble fitting what you need to,
consider downsizing. Items that come in boxes can be removed and
repackaged into a more space-efficient container, and your
full-sized bottled waters can be replaced by half-sized ones.

Stock up on produce.
Fresh fruits and vegetables
are great to keep around your college dorm because they are
nutritious, delicious, and don’t easily spoil. Berries, apples, and
melon slices can all conveniently be stored in your mini-fridge and
will provide you with a healthy snack when needed.
