Pantry Organization

I have been wanting to clean out my pantry for FOREVER. I was getting so frustrated with not being able to find things, or having it take that much longer to go through everything when I purge the expired products.

So, on a whim, I decided to take a trip to Dollar Tree and get inspired as to how I could clean up and organize this one area in my home. I found these adorable red plastic bins and decided they would be perfect. So I picked up 11 of them.

After getting everything in it's place, I realize I need a few more. The OCD in me wants to replace the pink and other bins with matching red ones, but if I don't get around to doing that, at least I can say my pantry is neat and in order at last! Not shown in these photos is how I labeled the bins. I used Avery Strung Marking Tags (purchased at Walmart) to write the contents of the bins, then just looped them through the handles and holes of the various bins.

Now when I need something, want to take inventory, or have to go through my products and toss anything that is expired, it is much easier! And all happy housewives like things to be quick and easy, right?!
