Fridge Organization and Pantry Favorites

Organizing your kitchen, pantry and fridge are of huge importance in your home. I can’t think of many other areas that are more heavily used, and thus easily become cluttered, and help for a well functioning organization system.

In this post I will be sharing my favorite products for getting those spaces in order, as well as tips on decluttering the space to get it ready.

Decluttering Food in your Pantry and Fridge

Before you can start organizing it is important to clear out what you don’t need, and clean the space. Below I will discuss what to declutter and what considerations to make. With food it is slightly easier than other spaces, but still important.

Where to Get Rid of the Food

When it comes to decluttering food it can feel very wasteful – Be sure to make two piles. 1 for expired goods that need to be thrown out, and another for food you simply know you won’t eat. You can take that to local food pantries that are very much in need right now.

What to Purge

• When it comes to food it is really important you take EVERYTHING out to do the decluttering. This makes a big mess before it gets better – but I swear it is worth it.
• When the spaces are empty give them a good cleaning before you reload.
• If there is food/spices that are expired throw them out.
• Next – if there are foods you are not truly going to eat, donate them. They are taking up space to give you less space for things you truly will use.

Organizing the Spaces

Now – when it comes to organizing your pantry specifically there are two ways to do things. I am a basket person. I like to combine like items in baskets and bins, where as some like to line things up well.

My friend Jen shows in her post how she does the clean line up – which can help to see what you have. It is a matter of preference on which method to go with.

Canisters for snacks and baking supplies keep things looking tidy and functioning well on shelves. I personally use the canisters below, but also have used these for years and they work very well if you need to stack.

You can see in this post that my last pantry was much smaller and allowed for much less picture perfect storage, but I still worked hard at having a well functioning and pretty pantry.

Keeping Mason jars on hand make for keeping items in your pantry and fridge both organized and orderly. I personally put all fruit and veggies in mason jars for a clean and orderly fridge.
