We buy 2 cases of fruit cups(about 360 to a case a most months)we store them in a box in my laundry room and some in the pantry in a plastic box, plus the bottum drawer in the frig is full! I wish I had more room.  We have  2 frigs, but are still in major need of a freezer. I bought a shelf kind of like you want at Sam's on clearance for $39.01(regularly over $100.00), it was the last one and the one on display. Hubby had to take it apart, then back together when we got home. It is all heavy metal too, very sturdy. We buy the HUGE 6 pound cans of veggies from Sam's too. They take up alot of room!

We have 8, and I just go back. I actually have a tiny kitchen made for a family of 2 maybe 3. So, I have to shop 2 times a week at the very least.

I had a friend in NC with 5 kids and she had a double door fridge and a double door freezer. I would love that I just dont have the room.

We found a beat up fridge that works but the shelves are kinda weird at a rumage sale for 10 bucks.  We put it in the basement for extra storage.  It has come in very handy.  We shop every 2 weeks(we live 1 hr from a decently priced grocery store) for groceries so space is a deffinate issue with 8 kids in the house.
