So, this was my pantry before the huge overhaul. I hadn’t really cleaned it out completely since we moved in last April. So last Saturday I pulled everything out of the shelves and onto the floor and sorted, organized, and cleaned while throwing away anything that was expired or open for a while.

So where did all of my random food go?!

To the basement! My pantry is not deep at all so it is hard to fit things in it without making a jumbled mess so we have a shelving unit right off our kitchen in the basement. These shelves hold all of our staples and extras, like cans, soups, grains, baking ingredients, and condiments.

It is so much easier to plan dinner now that I am not creating an avalanche by removing an item from my pantry.
