Pantry Organization

I appreciate organization but hadn’t really given much thought as to how organizing the pantry would save me time and money. With the right containers, baskets, and keeping boxes items came in it made organizing much easier. 

I will give a shout out to OXO pop up containers. If you look closely at the clear labeled containers the ones from Target that are OXO brand do seal better. I also bought some from Bed Bath and Beyond but the seal is different and therefore the quality of the product different, not in a good way. I recommend the ones with the square pop up over the round one. 

With the help from my daughters and a Cricut for the labels this job turned out beautifully. Knowing what I have in the pantry makes finding snacks easier, making the grocery list efficient and now everything has it’s place.

Breeze through the before and after pictures. It took many trips to different stores for storage baskets and containers. I love the end result!

Having it all spread out helped me see what size containers I'd need to store products more air tight.

Keeping boxes for seldom used pottery or pans then just writing on the box and placing them up higher made storing them easier

AND, TA DA. The back shelf is for baking items. I used a mixture of Tupperware I have and found some new containers.

Love the two felt baskets on the floor for paper towels and napkins. It's a much cleaner look.

This longer wall is mostly for food. Tip, when I put the pancake mix and pastas in air tight containers I cut the cooking instructions out and put those in my recipe basket

Next you pick a font, write in the words to the label and the choose which label size it goes on then print the words. Sticking label on first then words was interesting. My girls did a great job!

My name is Jessica Waite and to my best friend I am J Dub. I’m just an ordinary person who has been blessed beyond measure. I am the sum of my experiences, the good and the bad. I am a wife, a mother of four, an avid reader and lover of words. For as long as I can remember words have been my saving grace. Through a story I can dream bigger, I gain hope and knowledge. Through writing I can express myself, offer insight and possibly even give hope.
