The 40 Day Organization Challenge



Day 2 is a cabinet and drawer cleaning, but hubby decided to clean our pantry first so we will go skip to that for now. Luck has it, the pantry cleaning is supposed to be completed on day 4, so we will just switch it up a little. Let me just say that our pantry was a hot mess but now its beautifully organized!



We went to the dollar store and picked up some bins and cheap containers to start with. Luckily, we’re close to school starting again so there are lots of organization goodies!
We found the easiest way to clean and organize was to go shelf by shelf.
First, sort everything into keep and toss (expired food) piles then set to the side. Within the ‘keep’ pile, organize items based on the type of containers (cans with cans, boxes with boxes, etc.)
Next, decide where you want everything to go and return it all to the pantry (in its categories).
Easy as pie! You should now have a beautifully organized pantry.  
Days 3 and 4 will be cabinets and drawers. I know in my kitchen it's too much to accomplish in 1 day so it shall be 2!


Until tomorrow
