Pantry Fact: You only use what you can see. Organizing your pantry in such a way that allows you to see what you have and what you need to restock will help you save money and sanity when it comes to shopping and meal prep.
1: Take It All Out!! Empty Out Your Entire Pantry.
Take notes while you're doing this step. What are you overbuying? What do you need more of? What habits do you need to change?
2: Create Zones For Food Items
Identify KEY ZONES that work for your family, such as: – A Breakfast Zone – Supplements & Shakes – Kids’ Snacks – Baking – Canned/Jarred Goods – Pasta/Rice – Chips/Bread
3: Sort Contents
Possible Categories: – Infrequently used items & appliances can go up high – Mid-section for every-day use – Are your mornings busy? Create a morning zone that is closest to the kitchen with the easiest access – Floor baskets or bins can work for back stock (Back stock are the items you have that you do go through more quickly or picked up as a BOGO for example.)
TIP: Do you have 12 boxes of pasta? Consider donating excess non-perishable goods that are low cost to replace.
4: Select Pantry Bins
Select the storage products based on zones and needs. Plan to decant (pour boxed/bagged items into containers) as many items as possible so purchase storage accordingly. Also, label everything!
