Add can racks

If your pantry is simply overloaded with canned food, don’t worry. First things first, make sure you give away all the items that you really don’t plan on using anytime soon.

Then, simply store the other items sideways on can racks, so you don’t forget what you’ve already bought. This way, you’ll be able to actually cook something with all the things that you’ve had on the shelf for the past four months.

    We are expecting to build anew home starting within the next 6 months so these ideas are very helpful. I took notes 😃

    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.
