Preparation
Spices, snacks, baking essentials, and more can quickly overwhelm your pantry, especially if you’re working with a small set-up. If you can’t take a trip to the grocery store without feeling like your cabinets are bursting at the seams afterwards, it’s time for a better system.
Start by taking everything out of your cabinets and downsizing. What’s expired? What do you never cook with? “This isn’t a time to gingerly remove items,” says Melissa Maker, founder of Clean My Space. “Lay it all out, assess each item, then clean the pantry, replace, toss, or donate the items.”
Once you’ve done this, purchase a few small space organizing systems that work for you. Opt for solutions that make your products more accessible and easier to see. After a thorough clean-out and implementing a few effective storage systems, you’ll be well on your way to a manageable, streamlined pantry.
