This kitchen pantry is where things are kept that are the oldest in my stockpile so they get used first. As you can see when I am not feeling good, things get all disorganized. So I spent a bit of time the past couple of days getting it back in order. Since it was garbage day yesterday, I threw out some really old flour and a bag of potatoes that got delivered with my Walmart order. I opened them and found almost all of them were rotten. Walmart is crediting me the $ 4.74. But that left me without potatoes again. So after our doctor’s appointments yesterday, Hubby took me to Top’s where I picked up a 5 lb. bag of potatoes on sale for $ 2.99, some green grapes for $1.88 a lb. to make chicken salad, and 3 salad kits for a total of $9.00.
What a mess! Eloise was happy to help me. 🙂
This is much better since it is neat and organized. Hubby can find what he needs.
The basket on the bottom shelf holds all of my seasoning packets. The overflow is in the extra white egg container from my old refrigerator. I put them in alphabetical order so that I can pull out what I need quickly. The basket on the floor holds all of our salad fixings except the produce. The red 5 gallon buckets hold flour, sugar, and rice.
This basket holds Eloise who climbed in to it when I set it down there. She has gotten so big that she can barely fit. I tried to take it away from her later in the day and she was having no part of that. She has 2 $50. beds in two different rooms and she sleeps in this! She also steals my disposable grocery bags. She cuddles up in them to take a nap too.
I hope I have motivated you to clean and organize your pantries. If so get moving!

Looks fantastic! Since one of my boys can’t travel, we cancelled our 2 trips this month and put the RV up for sale. I have so much food now, we won’t need much this month. I need to get the rest of the food out of the RV and integrated into the pantry, fridge and freezer.
Hi Patti,
I am so sorry that you had to cancel your trips and sell the RV. Enjoy not having to shop for a month of so!
Hi Precious, this looks great! And the picture of Eloise is so cute. 😻 this is the big moving weekend for Daughter’s family. But I am inspired and will go through my pantry next week.
Hubby and I are starting research on proactively buying a new refrigerator. Am going to check your blog and see if you have any appliance buying tips. If not, maybe you have some thoughts for a post that could help your other readers and us?
Hi Chris,
Thanks! The best of luck on her move. I am excited for them.
I don’t have a post about that but I will consider one. Be sure to look at scratch and dent. Too bad you aren’t here. Our Orville’s is having a huge scratch and dent sale right now- up 50% off. Good luck with your search.
