7. I don't have those bins, so that's not an issue for me.

I have developed a system of keeping truly perishable items in the fridge and removing them a day or two before I am ready to use them. This seems to work very well for a lot of things.

The relatively non-perishable, I keep in hanging baskets - potatoes, onions, hard fruits.

And I know what you mean about the parsley (and cilantro). Sometimes I put them in a mug in the kitchen. This serves a dual purpose of keeping them relatively fresh and reminding me that I have them available.
