As a result of my job (home writer) and my personality (perfectionist) I’ve done a lot of research about how to best organize every little space in my home. I’ve long heard the praises sung of clear containers, listened to people preach the merits of a label maker, and seen pantry organizer upon pantry organizer topple off the shelves at TJ Maxx. Suffice it to say, I feel like I’ve heard and seen it all—from legitimate overhauls to unrealistic hacks. It wasn’t until this year, though, that I really decided to tackle the lid-flying, carton-crashing warzone that is my pantry.
For some context: when I get home from the grocery store, I’m so exhausted after lugging my tote bags from store to train to train transfer and finally, to my home, that I can’t be bothered to really organize things as they go into cabinets. Know the feeling? This is where the unraveling of intention begins. Three more grocery trips, an overstock on Trader Joe’s apple banana fruit crushers, and a teetering bag of rice later—it’s game over. Still, being stuck at home, cooking more than I ever have, has really prompted me to reassess my pantry storage and put my own advice into action.
