    How to organize pantry shelves

    1. Store like items together

    Sort your pantry into like items. If you have the space, store all the baking products in one area, noodles in one area, and so on.

    2. Make 2 labels

    The label you can see from the front should be what it is. The second label should be the expiration date, so you never need to guess.

    3. Store paper goods on bottom shelf or floor

    Store all your paper goods (like toilet paper and paper towel) that you aren't worried about breaking on the bottom shelf or floor in your pantry.

    4. Use storage containers

    Matching storage containers can really elevate your pantry, but they also serve to help keep your food fresh and any unwanted pests out.

    You don't have to have 100% matching containers, but put the ones that do match together.

    5. Rotate your canned goods

    As soon as you buy canned goods, rotate the newest ones to the back of the shelves.

    6. Spice storage

    One of my favorite ways to store spices is vertically. This way you can quickly see which spice you need instead of sifting through all the spices behind one another.

    To keep them from rolling all over the drawer, use some clear storage drawer organizers or even a clear utensil drawer organizer.

    Best Pantry Organization Supplies

    • Cereal Storage containers (perfect size for cereal or chex mix)
    • Large food storage containers (great for flour sugar, and pasta)
