Keep Your Pantry Well-Stocked and Organized

Keeping items organized in clear containers is a useful strategy. Take all of your spices as an example: if left unchecked, spices like cinnamon, oregano, dill, cumin, cilantro, basil, and numerous other flavors will be scattered all over your pantry.

Placing them in a clear container will help you keep everything in one convenient space while allowing you to quickly scan for items.

Organize your food so similar items are all in the same space. This seems obvious, but you can take the organization to a higher level by thinking about preparation times.

For example, keep all items that require significant prep (like raw rice or pasta) in one area, items that require some prep (packaged rice dishes or macaroni-and-cheese) in another, and items with almost no prep (snacks, bread) in another.

You can do your best to keep your entire kitchen organized, but it won’t always have that magazine-spread organization we all love. To keep everything under control, try doing a weekly cleanout, preferably on the weekends or before a grocery run.

Go through each shelf and remove outdated or stale foods. You should also get rid of boxes with one cereal bar or a single serving of cereal; place these on the counter for immediate use.

You deserve an organized home that reduces stress and helps you find exactly what you need when you need it.
