How To: Organize the Pantry

Anytime you go to organize, it becomes a chore, however, it does not have to be a chore. It can be made easy if you know where to start.

1. Take all the content out of the pantry.
2. Assess what was inside the pantry
   : Determine what you cook and how often you cook something
   : Are there duplicates of any items?
   : Is it expired?
3. Throw out any expired items in the pantry and get rid of duplicated items from the pantry.
4.  Dust the pantry and clean the shelves
5. Put in new liners to the pantry, if needed.
6. Organize the pantry
   : Any item that gets used most often, put in a place where it will always be visible so you do not have any duplicates.
   : Keep like items in all in the place so it is easy to find.
   : Any items that are used on occassion keep toward the bottom of the pantry.
7. De-clutter the pantry either weekly or monthly.
8. Go through the pantry once a year to really clean it out and de-clutter
