The kitchen is the heart of the home and often the busiest room. With family members coming in and out, the kitchen and pantry are quick to become disorganized and messy. Here are some quick tips on how to keep calm and organized in the pantry.
Start fresh.
Sort through your pantry and get rid of any expired foods and spices older than four years.
Organize kitchen cabinets.
Add kitchen cabinet organizers to double your space by going vertical.

Store it right.
Maximize pantry and cupboards by storing flour, sugar and spices in airtight stackable containers.
Keep food storage containers organized.
Food storage containers and lids can quickly get out of control. Organize them in separate bins: one for lids and one for the containers and keep them on shelves so they're easy to match.
