“First In, First Out” (FIFO) is a popular inventory management method often used by big box stores and warehouses that manage thousands of items. You can easily apply FIFO to your everyday life to keep things organised and reduce waste. Here’s how.

The FIFO principle is straightforward: use first what you acquire first. For example, when you buy new food, put it behind older items in your fridge or pantry. This way, you’ll use the older food first and avoid forgetting about items like yogurt or snacks that could go bad.

In your bathroom, store new toiletries like shampoo and body wash behind the ones you’re already using. This will ensure you finish what you have before opening new products, preventing expired products from piling up in the trash.

You can also apply this method to your wardrobe. Place recently worn clothes at the back of your wardrobe or in a separate drawer. This will prevent you from always wearing the same outfits and feeling like you have nothing to wear.

Integrating the FIFO method into your home is a small change that can yield big benefits. Enjoy a more organised living space!
