The pantry in our house always looks like a bomb went off! I never could find anything and always felt like I was running up to the store for things I thought we had. After looking at many organized pantry on-line, I decided it was time to conquer our kitchen pantry. The first thing I did was take everything out of the pantry including food, food storage containers and junk/trash that may have accumulated and grouped them within our kitchen counters and kitchen table. This allowed me spot duplicates, spoiled foods and get a general sense of how much space each type of item will need. I looked at each item to make sure it had not expired, to see if I even still used it or liked it. After getting rid of a ton of food that had made its way to the back of the pantry, I was ready to start putting all my food in plastic storage containers. Let me just say how much I LOVE Bed, Bath and Beyond. They had all my storage needs and I got to use my 20% coupons on every container...which saved me a ton of money (and that makes it easy to justify my project to the hubs). After putting all the food in their “special” containers, I pulled out my label maker and went crazy. Yes, I know I went overboard BUT it is so pretty now.
