Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's Secret Trick

During the holidays, Grandma's refrigerator would become so packed with food that it was a challenge to find room to fit everything. Then she devised a handy little solution that expanded the space in her refrigerator. She used wire racks to create additional shelving. By placing a rack over various containers of roughly the same height, Grandma was able to safely stack more items on top of them without anything spilling.
