8 Ideas for Organizing the Pantry
This week’s organizing task is the pantry, so I thought a simple round-up with some great organizing ideas would be in order. Hopefully this round-up inspires you to work with the space you have to make it hardworking for your family and your needs. Everyone loves a show-stopping pantry, but a pantry that is simply organized and useful is better in the long run in my book. Have a pantry storage idea? Share in the comments!

I put a lazy susan in the hard to reach corner of the shelf to put items like canned goods on. That way the items are contained to that space and I can just spin it to get to the stuff in the back.

I buy all of my dry goods from the bulk bins (oats, lentils, beans, rice, etc.) and store them in glass canning jars. Less packaging clutter, and better for the environment!

Great blog!
I use containers a lot but I do not label them! It makes more room to store more things in the pantry, easy to access so no loose packets (which creates mess and looks messy!) like half of the pasta left etc! lol.
