Here's my Kitchen Pantry Clean Out and Organization video!
Hey there friends! In today's video, I'll be cleaning out my kitchen pantry and reorganizing items so that my kitchen pantry is more efficient.
Doing a kitchen pantry clean out and organization once or twice a year is really good to for several reasons:
1) Health Reasons - you want to make sure the food your about to prepare for your family is not expired. Going through your kitchen pantry at least once a year, ensures that you're using food that is good to consume.
2) Better Meal Planning - If your kitchen pantry is loaded to the brim with dry and canned goods, I bet you can make a whole weeks worth of meals just using the food you already have without needing to make a trip to the store! By cleaning out and organizing your pantry, you're able to see the foods you have, and can start to create meals out of what's in your panty. I have a Pantry Clean Out Meal Ideas video that i'll link below for you guys if you're needing some meal inspiration.
3) Save your money - I hate this. I'll write something down that I need to pick up on my grocery list, purchase it, then when I go to put it in my pantry, I already see 2 more of the same product just sitting there! Super frustrating. By keeping your pantry clean and organized, you can reduce food waste and avoid buying multiples of food items, all of which can help you save money.
4)Efficiency - this is number one to me when it comes to a kitchen pantry clean out and organization. I don't care for the appearance of how the products are displayed on the shelf (you know the products i'm talking about - the cool clear ones that are all matching and have a little chalkboard on the outside you can write the description on) While those are aesthetically pleasing to look at, I'd much rather have an organized shelf where I can see every single product with ease. This saves me so much time when it comes to meal planning!
While cleaning and organizing your pantry can be a daunting task, I think it's absolutely essential to keeping a healthy household and creating this yearly or bi-yearly habit can be super cost effective to you in the long run.

Taking the doors off and putting in pull out draws might e an option. It's what I have they're great 👍

@OurCrowsNest5 Жыл бұрын

Oh wonderful! Thank you so much for the feedback, i'll be looking into them. Did you install them yourself or did you have someone come in and do them? Wondering if this could be a good DIY project.

@ruthtingle7219 Жыл бұрын

@@OurCrowsNest5 I had someone install them when I had the kitchen upgraded, but I'm sure they could be a DIY. They're so good, im able to pull them out and see what's at the back,i have them in my pantry and big big ones next to my pantry that hold all my pots and pans.

@@ruthtingle7219 wow that's such a great idea to get pull outs for pots and pans! Didn't even think about using the system in other areas of my kitchen, thank you!

Came across your video. I totally understand the pantry issue. My pantry is 24 inches deep and things were getting lost in the back. I ended up buying clear bins. IDesign has some nice ones that are 16 inches deep and 8 inches wide. I can fit 2 per shelf as I have 18 inch wide cabinet. I just have to slide the container out to look through them and I was able to label each bin so it’s easier on the family. It made it super easy and worth the purchase. I literally just finished the last of the shelves this morning. Great job and have a wonderful day.

Ooh what a great idea, I'll have to look into those bins, thank you SO much for the suggestion Laura! 💖

Girl, now I need to organize my pantry 🤣I have a wonky pantry too. It's about as deep as yours is, but closet style. It only has 3 shelves from the middle up so we ended up putting a metal wire rack from Amazon at the bottom to give us more shelves. It looks like chaos.

Oh girl, I totally feel you then! I feel like my pantry in my apartment in college was 1000% times better than my own home that I own lol! Thanks so much for watching! 💕

Just a thought. On the deep pantry situation, yes definitely some risers and I was thinking even lazy susans for baking supplies ie, baking soda, baking powder, salt, etc. I know this because I HAVE the same darn pantry!!!! Exactly deep cupboards and the top ones are Very tall. I have to use the stepladder. Anyway, great video, thank you Alicia💟❣

@OurCrowsNest5 Жыл бұрын

Oh geez you have the same pantry too?! So you can totally relate, I hate them haha! Yes I definitely need more risers (or just a new house with a pantry I can build from scratch on my own, like a walk-in! A girl can dream right?!) Thanks so much for watching Joanne! 💓

I have lived in my house 22 years. I enjoy organizing and am pretty good at it. However my bathroom has a large cabinet for my towels and linens. And a deep closet fot toilet paper and toiletries. This closet was always a mess, too deep, things get hidden in the back. A year ago, i bought bins from Dollar Tree and organized everything into categories like dental, hair care, first aid, etc. i got some empty cardboard boxes and filled in some space in the back. Then i put my bins closer to the front of the shelves. A year later and my closet is still tidy, filling in that useless back space made a huge difference.

@OurCrowsNest5 4 ай бұрын

Oh I love that idea! So essentially, you created your own 'wall' with the cardboard box correct? To prevent items from being pushed back and getting lost? I REALLY need to do this! I so appreciate you commenting! 💕

Maybe line them. Dollar Tree sells rolls.

It might be worth gutting the pantry and remove the diveder in the middle to make it one big space as opposed to 4 smaller spaces and then adding the slide out draws. You wont lose any space that way.

@OurCrowsNest5 Жыл бұрын

Oh my gosh, YES! Would love for this entire pantry to be completely regutted and made into an actual, usable pantry without the divider and just longer shelves lol! Thank you for that! 💖
