Buy clear storage bins

It’s true that wicker baskets and fabric bins might seem to be more aesthetically pleasing, but according to professional organizers, clear plastic bins are much better when it comes to the pantry. It seems that they allow you to see exactly what you have on hand, which makes inventory much easier, especially if you’re about to go shopping.

Add stadium-style shelves

Sure, keeping your cans only on one shelf sounds good, until you came to the realization that you don’t know what’s in the back row. According to Lisa Zaslow, a professional organizer and the founder of Gotham Organizers, stadium-style shelves are the best choice for your cans.

They have tiered rows, which will allow you to see all of your cans, jars, and spices, without having to seek through anything.

    I’ve never had a lot of space, so I already do many of these suggestions. I have also found in a catalog labels that wash off. Yes, paper labels that dissolve in water. I use them on everything, particularly in the freezer where I have stood, holding something frozen and wondering whatever in the world is this and when did I put it in here. I wish I could remember the catalog but I get so many. It was in one that has only two pictures on a page.

    Need to address different types of pantries. I have a pull out pantry so most of what is suggested does not work.
