Searching for ideas to organize the pantry? Well, we are excited to share our ideas to organize the pantry, ours no longer looks like the mess below!
Should I be embarrassed to show you these pictures? Probably so, but I figure most of us have pantries that look like this so who cares? I am only too happy that it no longer does!

What a mess, how embarrassing!
Do you see how I had items stacked on top of each other trying to shove it all in there?
The baskets were a good idea at the time and I already had them, but I found some expired items, and do you know I had things in them I had no idea I had? LOL
Yeah, now we're talking. I can see it all, can you?
Do you see how many almond flour packages I have in there? Three... what a waste!
- You can pull the entire bin out to fill it, or search for what you need, no more moving multiple items around searching and searching for what I need.
- I even have one in the fridge with my bottles of water in it. How much easier is it to fill?
- Do you know I even thought about spills in the fridge. It will be easier to clean out a bin instead of tearing everything out of the fridge to remove the shelf and clean it and then put everything back in. I will only need to simply remove the bin, clean it out and put back in.
- I even picked up perforated clear plastic bins and put my onions in one and potatoes in another. The air can still filter though the bins, but I can easily see what needs replenished since it is clear.
- I am actually going to save time and MONEY being organized. How many times have I shared that I pick up things on our grocery orders I did not need, but was not sure if I did or not? No more items going bad, I can see what I need.
- I used a dollar store pail from years ago to put all of our popcorn in, I actually had 2 boxes of popcorn in the pantry. Not that I would know about them both being in there, lol!
- I was already using clear storage pieces, I pick up Lock and Lock containers when I see them, I use them for brown sugar, regular sugar, any items that have already been opened like crackers, cereal, you can even store your milk in them if you do not like your milk to be stored in the items they come in.
- I was only able to fit two large bins on each shelf, so I filled in with the smaller perforated bins, and I actually did stack my larger things like tomato juice, and tortilla chips in the middle so I could utilize all of my space.
- I was able to separate my gluten free foods from my husbands regular items, if we had littles with food allergies like me, I could label a bin with their name on it so they always stay safe
- 3 (1 pound) almond flour packages, at $10/pound how fast do you think I can use them, better get baking Cara
- 2 boxes of popcorn, both opened
- 3 gluten free bread crumbs, I was completely surprised by that one!
- 3 gluten free pancake mixes, all opened, seriously Cara? I do not even make pancakes that often!
- 4 bags of dates, who needs this many?
- 4 bags of dark chocolate chips, again, get baking!
- 2 jars of salsa
- 4 jars of sweet/spicy mustard - what in the world?
- 2 jars blackberry jelly, we do not even consume jelly. I think I need my head examined
