Organize Your Storage! Part 1

Organizing your storage areas will give you more room and easier access to the stored food. Here are some organizing suggestions:

Shelf Storage -
Use Lazy Susans on shelves that hold small items or where items would be several deep. The Lazy Susan will make access of these items a lot easier.

Use shallow organizer shelving in tall, deep shelves to add layers for
stacking small or shorter items.

Use wire or plastic baskets to hold odd shaped or bulky items.

Store opened items, such as pasta, rice and cereals, in clear plastic or glass containers with tight fitting lids to keep them fresh and easily visible. Clear self-sealing bags can also be used.

If you have a pantry with empty walls, add more shelving or stackable bins.

When organizing items, place like items together to make it easier to remember where items are store. Store baking ingredients together, canned goods in one area, and dry ingredients in another.

When adding items to storage, be sure to place newest products in back of what is already on the shelf so that older items get used first.
