PSA: I found a better way to organize my walk-in that actually saved me money
I was at this small bistro in Portland last week and saw how they had their walk-in setup. They used clear bins with labels on the ends, not the front, so you can see everything from the side. It costs like $40 for a set of 10 bins from a restaurant supply store. I went back and reorganized my whole walk-in in about 2 hours. The best part is I stopped losing track of stuff and wasting food, probably saved me $100 a week on spoilage. Has anyone else tried something like this or got a better system for keeping the walk-in from turning into a mess?

Yeah, seems like paying a little more upfront usually saves you the headache of replacing cheap stuff later.

Wait did the bistro have the bins stacked on shelves or just sitting on the floor? I feel like if you stack them the labels on the end would only help for the top row. Also do you actually find the clear plastic holds up in a commercial fridge or do they get brittle after a few months? I tried something similar with those cheap Sterilite bins from Target and the cold made them crack within like 6 weeks. I'm curious if the restaurant supply ones are actually tougher or if it's just paying extra for the same thing.
