An organized pantry can be valuable in so many ways. Increase efficiency when cooking weeknight meals, reduce food waste, and maintain a high level of organization. Messes can creep up on you whether you have a reach-in pantry or a lofty walk-in pantry, so why not get ahead of it? Here are a handful of organization ideas to equip you to conquer clutter.
Categorize Items
Break your pantry goods down into categories. You can do this by food type, recipient, or meal type. For example, you may choose to separate canned foods from those in jars or boxes. You can also divide the foods you usually consume for breakfast and what you eat for lunch or dinner.
If you feel like your space is hindering this step, you should consider custom storage. The point here is to find the system you’ll like best to make organization easier.
