I feel fortunate to have a pantry in my kitchen to store food, especially since my last house did not have one. It is not large, but big enough to store food and baking items. However, I can't ever decide how exactly to organize it and what to put where. Therefore, I'm constantly moving things around in there! Here are a few tips on how I organize my food "space!"
Here's a picture of the pantry before organizing
I haven't gone through the food in awhile and don't really know where anything is!
Umm, chips everywhere and potatoes on top of containers...
and no real organization here either...
So I started with the top shelf and began taking everything out.
I put boxes of food items and the coffee on the third shelf. I don't need these items as often and they fit nicely together. I then placed extra cereal boxes (more on that in a second), peanut butter, unopened sauces, and cans on the second shelf. I also purchases a small wire shelf to put on the second shelf. This way I could put cans underneath and on top of this wire shelf! The first shelf contains snacks, cereal, and flour/sugar. I LOVE these Martha Stewart Tupperware containers I purchased to store cereal, chips, and baking items. The entire bag of food pours right into the container and I cannot believe how much longer the food lasts! No stale cereal and no flour bags making messes! They also stack very conveniently.
I have room in my pantry to place a smaller shelf underneath the larger shelves. I placed all other baking items on this shelf as well as lunchboxes and other miscellaneous items. Here is the finished product! Do you have any fun pantry/food organizing tips? Let us know!
