Organizing your pantry is easier than you think. Follow these three steps to save time in the kitchen. |Here are a few simple tips to get you started..

Declutter - It’s just so much easier when you don’t have to shuffle around clutter to get to the stuff you really need

Group like items with like items - (for example: baking items such as flour, sugar, baking powder, etc.) Put the items you use the most on the shelves at eye level. Put the least used items (such as small kitchen appliances and seasonal items) on the highest shelves.

Keep everything in neat rows and consolidate small items into baskets or containers. Making sure that everything is clean will go a long way in giving your pantry that pleasant fresh look.
