How to Organize Your Cabinet/Pantry for Less than $10

Alright, welcome to my kitchen. I am NOT making a cocktail tonight. I'm drinking a cocktail, but I'm going to mix it up, so tonight I'm going to show you behind the scenes. Look at my kitchen, specifically my dis

cabinet

space, if you have it. been in my house, you probably opened the

cabinet

and thought, shit, she's not

organize

d, but you just didn't know what to do. I didn't want to deal with it when we bought this house or when we were looking for a house. The only thing we have to have is a

pantry

because we are going to have it in our old house and we bought a house again without a

pantry

, so we really need to optimize our cabinet compartments since we have a lot of cabinet space. we have the basement bar and we have the upstairs kitchen and we have several closets, but this cabinet here specifically I'll show you in a second how bad it is that it needs work, it's literally as bad as every time I go to take something out. something falls over and it's driving me crazy so I posted on Instagram and said I needed tips on what to do and several people said to buy baskets or organizing containers.

I'm like, well, that seems really dumb, really simple, like why didn't I do it. I've done this before, but it's one of those things I just didn't want to face. We've had this house since April and it's December, so today I went to Dollar Tree thanks to my friend Nikki's suggestion and found some dollar things. so I'm going to show you how to transform

your

cabinet space in

less

than ten dollars from the Dollar Tree. I got three of these little containers for a dollar, two this size for a dollar. I got three of these little containers for a dollar each.

We're between one and five dollars and then three of this size here, so I'm not sure why specifically, but you're looking at eight dollars with a plastic plus tax, so we'll call it ten. I did it because of that. You don't become a not-good-enough account, but you get the gist, so the first step of the project to clean up

your

cabinet space is to get it right. I'm literally out of breath after cleaning out the pantry, but look how pretty it looks, oh, enjoy. enjoy it, okay, now let me show you some of this stuff. I found what you need.

I had no idea how much junk is in the pantry, our fake pantry, our captain. Okay, I started putting it on the island, but I had to use all of ours. cabinet space for all this junk, okay, the funny thing is, I found your bags of Doritos and then five bags of tortilla chips, why, oh, because we couldn't find them yet, we didn't see them, we didn't know we had and then two bags of my clothes my kids didn't like marshmallows why do we hold on to them things our bread oh this pita bread and it expired in November that's embarrassing fried fish mix this is good because we've never made a fish right here we've lived here since April so I'm fine we have three because that could be a crisis if we didn't have fish Vitamix oh okay so after you've cleaned out all your cabinet space and act like I know what I'm doing since we never had a frying pan, we had a cabinet like this in our old apartment when we were first married for two years and it looked exactly how it looked, it looked like a mess so maybe don't take my advice un

You look at the end of this and it looks amazing, but what I'm going to do now is go through everything, check the expiration dates, and throw away those five bags of tortilla chips.

You're okay, so that's the bag of things. Whether it's opened, expired or I don't want it, so that started now. What I did was take some of the boxes and put them in large containers that we already have but weren't using, but cereal is what my kids love. The crispy toast won't fit in the container, so I'll have to grab a quick snack. I'll continue this and you guys are dining out. What happened, but I have to separate them a few inches from the top so that the little one, oh, shoot, look. I have a heavy bowl of cereal, sorry, it's okay now that I've used up all the containers we have and we already have a lot of pasta with like three boxes of spaghetti, so I added it to our existing spaghetti containers.

We had a lot of boxes of penne pasta, which is crazy. It's funny because we don't like all pastas. I don't even know. Oh, this is new. I think it's all pasta. Maybe it's okay now that they're over. Now we will focus on the packages that drive me crazy because the packages. we hide behind things and buy the same ones over and over again, like taco seasoning, we have one, two, three, four, we are very muffins, which we never make; my name came from them, we have three, somehow, almost all of them are defeated, crushed. The fake potter mask is four packs.

Thank goodness we're ready, let's get some pockets and sauce. 1 2 3 4 5 6 packages of chips with fake salsa per week. Alright, this is the perfect size for this one. This is a pack of 3. There was $1. So look, I'm starting to become a nerd. I'm really excited about this, okay, so round up all my haters, oh my gosh, okay, let's buy one of them again. The blue hardens. I will make more of these. I don't want to go crazy at Dollar Tree because I don't know the return policy, the taco seasoning, we'll just combine it with the blueberry, the muffins since you can easily see it and then we have two randos, I don't think so.

Honestly I just throw the trash away because anyone else is bothered by tuna in general it scares me but with my protein but it's also gross and then the guacamole the fake stuff I don't really care about so we'll throw it in the rubbish below. I'll focus on the cans because, can you believe it, it's not something too cheesy, whatever. Well, you have a lot of creativity right now. Well, then let's show that you're at least looking for a can. Now I can know where the cans are. They are because at this time the current system was there on each level in the back, this is a very deep cabinet, so it's okay.

Oh, what are these really expensive tomatoes? San Marzano tomatoes, but he hasn't made a couple of sauces and they are very good, so we keep them, but this box drove me crazy and he is like a box like it's made of plastic like pillows in the wind, I can't stand it, it's okay here we go and we're going to hurt ourselves next so these here I thought would be great snacks for the kids and that way they know where to grab them so we have fruits on the foot personal favorites and mulch three snacks really any meal the snacks are awesome .

I've always said that if I was rich and calories didn't matter I'd just eat fruit snacks, you know? I'm going to eat one right now if I feel like I've probably spent $1.00. Oh yeah, you're judging me. I forget about my kids' fruit snacks and sugar. much more to judge mom, so she see, I need to refocus hey buddy, did I wake you up? Come here, let me see the cabinet, tell me this, hey, you die, they have the video right there, let me check you again, hey, look what mom was doing. What do you think? I think it's okay, the kids went back to bed, but I was saying that outside the cabinet, I found Stephen, the neurologist, who used to make my skinny cocktails and I thought we were out, so I'm super excited and I'm actually putting super. excited okay I think this works so I'm going to finish organizing the cabinet with the remaining items I have and okay you've been waiting for it let me show you two garbage bags not one the two expired bags and stuff of junk that I didn't want or need to consolidate, we had multiples of a lot of things, but you can see my counters are clear, which means the cabinet project guys look at that, so there are cans on the bottom, kids snacks in here , some seasonings and sauce, easy macaroni and sauce. rice, pasta, cereal, randos, you can literally see everything, this is the best feeling right now, do this, okay, I open the cabinet, no, no, that's a drawer of truth, no, I can't see that one, To be honest, are you impressed?

Eight dollars, that's all. It took eight dollars to fix it every time. No, let's work together. We should play games. Where's the macaroni and cheese? well, the easy back oh, they are hidden, yes, your children's neck, okay, that's it. I have a good night, so that's it. in this video thanks for watching the comment below if this was helpful or if you have a cabinet that someone likes please comment and tell me your cabinet looks like mine before.
