Reorganizing your kitchen is no arduous task at all, and it will save everyone at home calories, money and time for months to come! Until you do this, you will realize how wonderful and gratifying it is to have an organized and spotless kitchen. If you have an overflowing pantry of spices, it will take you less than twenty minutes to organize it! If you have a container set and some inkjet-compatible labels, you are armed and ready to get to work.
For best results, you will want to get containers that feature a square design and flat lids so that it is easy for you to stack them to maximize the available space. Try to get containers that come with pop-open lids as well! When you have decided which foods go to which containers, you can label them with food and drink labels or spice labels for increased clarity. Not convinced that reorganizing brings you benefits?
