I am such an unorganized person when it comes to my pantry. I just throw everything in there when I come home from grocery shopping. I just pile it all in there. I know its time to clean up when I have to rummish through it to look for something. Oh, the many times I thought I had something in there when I really didn’t or when I might buy something I thought we needed but didn’t. I've also bought certain grocery items which I totally forgotten and only to find out later they were hiding somewhere at the corner of the pantry.
"Before"It look like a war zone in there!
So I decided that Sunday was the day I would organize it. First, I took everything out of the pantry and grouped the items together into a few categories like Asian, Western, Baking, Snack, and Misc. I also got rid a whole load of expired stuff that no longer good and throw away a lot of plastic containers.
"After" Look so much better now.This is where I kept all the packet sauces, Asian ingredients, flour, sugar and all different kind of rice Not to toot my own horn, but I think it looks pretty good now, plus the pantry is much more functional. I will have to make it a point to clean it up every six month. There is more space in there and I actually know what is in the pantry. My next project will be my refrigerator and my spice cupboard.
