Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!
In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to express-organize your pantry.
Let’s start.
Day 21: Organize Your Pantry
Step 1: Grab a bag and open your pantry. Quickly scanning your shelves from top to bottom, toss into the bag anything that:
- Has passed its use-by date
- Is stale or unappetizing
- No-one eats.
Step 2: Do a quick tidy of the remaining items in your pantry.
And you’re done!
Got an Extra 5 Minutes?
- Wipe down your pantry shelves.
- Check your stores of pantry staples. Add anything you need to your shopping list.
- Notice anything you have in excess supply. Make a mental note to stop buying these items.
Now doesn’t that feel fresher!

What a pleasure to open the pantry door and see everything neat and organized. I love doing this. My home atmosphere feels great and so do I. My hubby is really liking it and getting involved as well.
Did both pantries
Done
done!
done!
Did this a while back. All labels one way, etc. Took an example from my sister’s cabinets. Actually fit more in than I realized I could 🙂
YEAH now I can say I have done from 1 – 21 !!!!
Done. I keep this in good order.
We moved a few months ago and started our pantry from scratch, so this was pretty easy. Just some minor organizing to do and done!
done
Did some rearranging, and moved some of my farm market supply up into our unused linen closet!
Done. I did this awhile ago and have managed to keep it up so a quick tidy up was all I needed to do 🙂
So, I’m seriously behind on the challenges. Part procrastination, pArt my kids being home for spring break!! But I was able to kill several birds (or tasks) with one stone.
I need to go to the grocery store in a serious way, so to prepare for that I cleaned the fridge and the pantry! It didn’t take me as long as I thought it would. And now the shelves are ready to be restocked!!
This felt so good to get accomplished; I love getting to open the doors to my cupboards and see EVERYTHING.
It’s nice to open the pantry doors & see it neat & know that everything is within the expiration date. lol.
Done.
Done.
Ok, well…I did comment on every day of the week, but am late in saying so (7:45 PST) so oh well…maybe next week!
It’s harder to do, but I’m catching up 5 min. at a time as I was on vacation and then sick for the week after, but that’s what Sat. is for 🙂 Loved getting a whole bagful of expired, unnecessary foodstuffs from my pantry – my husband thought it would not be possible!
Very hard because some of my drawers are messed up and I had to be careful to not let them fall. (sigh) Did find some things I’d promised myself that the next time I organized my pantry if they were still there, I’d get rid of. They’re going to my friend. She eats that kind of stuff.
