Hey guys, coupons right here and today I come to you with a well-known

pantry

, hassle-free food

storage

solution. These will be for those who don't have pantries in their homes, but do have

cabinet

s to work with to store everything. your grocery items and dishes for your family Now, if you've seen my own video on

pantry

organization

, you know I have a pretty big pantry, but I wanted to address this with real life

solutions

. I have lived in many places with very small pantries. or just

cabinet

s to work with, so I know exactly how you feel about these systems.

I'll be sure to keep in mind organizing the functionality and maintaining a display while making the most of each piece of

storage

now for those of you. With kids we always want to make sure we implement systems that are easy to put on and take off, one-step systems, so I made sure to do that too. Now, usually above each refrigerator there is free, open storage space since your kids don't cook. Keep these types of spaces stocked with products suited to your needs with easy one-step on and off systems, so starting at the top of the refrigerator, let's go ahead and take a look at the containers I use now.

To put it in perspective, I always buy these huge coffee cans, this one is 33 ounces and I fit it perfectly in these containers from Walmart, so they are definitely great for storing bulk products because they stack really well, so if you need them, stack them. In the refrigerator, these containers now come in four pieces, so you can get some perspective on the size. The largest container can hold those 10 inside and has plenty of room for more. I love these and they retail. About seven dollars for the entire set, which is a great purchase price with so many features and a very nice looking piece.

Now I have two clear containers that I found in Qing dollars, but you can definitely use the other containers from that same small set for your cereal. I love these containers, they are very easy to grip, now they are not airtight containers, but they do have twist-on lids. Each container holds two bags of cereal. I wanted to give you an idea of ​​how much they cost. the other container contains a large container from the four-piece set. I poured a full container into that one and a half full into the other, so that's about three bags of cereal per large container.

Next, we will look at this dish. wash container that was 97 cents at Walmart and you can also find them at Dollar Tree for a dollar and in this one I thought it would be a great idea to go ahead and put our packaged breakfast foods or snacks like crackers or oatmeal pies with grits, anything like that that your family can access quickly in the morning and when it comes to real life systems, we have to take into account all the family members that we have rights to, so Whatever we are using we should keep in mind they contain a lot of products now.

I don't know about you, but there are several packages of oatmeal and malt, children's oatmeal cookies, cakes, etc., and only this container, so it is definitely realistic to believe that whatever you buy, even if you buy a couple on the time, it will fit perfectly in this container and will incorporate nicely into your system without overwhelming the top of the refrigerator. The really nice thing about having limited space in this container ensures that you won't overbuy products that could spoil and you will have enough product for your family to enjoy. It's simply a matter of prioritizing the product you buy and making sure it's a product you'll actually use now in the next bin.

In fact, we're going to look at a white bubble container from Dollar Tree, that's what I like to call it. I have several of these in my laundry area guys and we're going to use this one for our snacks, this is going to be the stuff that you put in your kids' lunches or on the snack bars after school and stuff like that and I want to show you exactly how much fits in this basket now that I have five kids and each kid gets an after school snack that includes boogie, even though he doesn't go to school and all my middle kids carry snacks in their lunch kits.

Damien takes what he wants, but I think in this container he will definitely cover about a week's worth of after school snacks and lunch snacks. even go as far as preparing their portions of chips in Ziploc bags, that's what I usually do with my own kids when preparing for the week and their lunches and it would maximize their space even more than it is now that I've taken everything out. the containers for you and showed you a size comparison and showed you how much product really fits in these bins and bins, you should definitely agree that you can fit a ton of product in the small space for your family as a family cook, I I like it to be away from all the other foods to make sure I maintain

organization

and those cabinets guys, so we're going to go ahead and move over to our dish area and I have cabinets open so you can see that. everything is visible I definitely think prioritizing in this area will be a determining factor in what you end up looking like, as you can see.

I maximized storage on just the first shelf using a rec. I have large plates, medium plates. and even small serving plates, when purchasing your plates you should make sure you have enough variety to ensure that everyone has a plate, whether in the company or in the family. If you have young children, you can get plastic plates that match your overall look now. The white plastic plates are Aldi's Crofton brand and all of my other plates were actually from King Dollar, where you can find plates for a dollar and 25 cents in the Houston area. Now these wire racks are very common in thrift stores, so keep an eye out.

Available for them there but if not they sell them in a set at Walmart and you can use them in different spaces in your home and definitely maximize your storage use or the use of your storage space as you can see you are limited to this little one shelf for everyone. of my plates practically does not limit you to the fun you can have with your dishes. Plus you will notice that I have a large number of plates here, there are no sets of four or three or two or anything like that, there are several of each type of plate and they all fit very well. well in this space and there is even room to grow on the next shelf.

Every set of plates should have bowls, you have soups and things like that that you need to serve, so you should have bowls built into your I actually have six plates, but two are in the dishwasher, but as you can see they stack really well, so even if I started with four I would still have room to grow and I have a lazy susan on the left to store the glasses the lazy susan only allows you to have multiple types of products but without space overwhelmed with a lot of clutter and I also have some small glass serving dishes condiments and if you have kids, you even have a space for small plastic cups, so if you really want the display look you will have to prioritize the product you buy and how you take it into account to achieve the desired look on the top shelf.

I went ahead and tried to keep a structured look by using this area for overflowing condiments, but putting them in very nice, clean containers in a container, you'll see that I have sweet sauces, which are basically your sweet refills. Also on the left I have another band of everyday condiments again, a lot of the product you have needs to be prioritized so make sure everything you have in your fridge is out of stock or about to go out before you buy more now one of the most common questions I was asked in the image on Instagram and Facebook or the

problem

that people wanted a The solution for me was the baking product.

Now I can't stand the cabinet above the microwave because it's so useless the space is awkward. There are only spaces available for different products, but I thought I would use that cabinet for all the baking products. Since it is now right over the area where you bake, of course I used Qing dollar containers, but you can find containers for your needs at Dollar Tree or the nine links and just stock up and be aware of the free containers of the products you buy in the normal one, so the first container is pancake mix. I simply filled it out, labeled it, took the instructions from the pancake package, and taped it to the back.

This is nothing new, it is done throughout the organizational world, but because it makes sense now. You can do what I did with the coffee and just put a measuring spoon in the container and it will be there when you need it. If you find a really good deal on something like corn flour that can also go into that space, that's something you can do. You can get a really good deal if you need instructions you can put it back on the back, it's nothing new but it's totally logical and probably one of the best things you can do next.

I have two containers for flour. I have a big container, this one. It doesn't have instructions on the back, but since it's just a replacement for the small flour container, now you won't want to carry around that big old container every time you have a recipe, so if you see on the label I put flour in there too. because that is the one you want to take for your daily use and again you use the big one to refill the small one now of course we will use our common sense on this one and if you don't need to have a huge backup container of a product don't buy the product , it's that simple, just use what you know you need for your family and now move on to free storage, so if you pay attention to the product you buy weekly to feed your family in large quantities, it will come in its own very pretty container.

These containers were actually deli containers of the HEV product. They are big enough that I can go ahead and fill them with those cupcake liners and I think they hold a ton of product. and they stack really well and I love them, so if you're like me and you have fifty thousand liners, fill them up in those containers and they'll be nice and safe and easy to find, plus they're clear so you can see what you're looking for now, definitely You're not limited to just cupcake liners, it's also great for your cookie cutter shapes and your stencils and things like that.

It fits quite a bit in each container again, you can just look in there. and look what you are looking for, another great item to Corral in one of these containers is your decorative icing tips, they are very easy to get lost so having a nice place for them is very very nice, also don't throw it away. Flat Tupperware. I have a Rubbermaid container that I got for free through coupons a long time ago and we just use it for all of our candles. Now that we have 50 kids, we need like a thousand candles in a matter of a few months, so for us, it's great to have them on hand now that there's not a lot of space, so I wanted to maximize each space by putting this in a flat container so it can be stored. rest against the back of the cabinet.

The last free container I used was actually this clear one which is another deli container, I put all the food coloring in the container to keep them corralled and once again it's clear you can see through it you just look inside of the cabinet and you know what to pull down when you need it. now this cabinet is where I also keep my box of matches now I have them on hand there for emergencies and for candles there is no other reason why I don't take them out for anything else the last item I have in that cabinet is just these cutters and I didn't have anywhere else to put them so they fit perfectly on top of everything else as you can see it all fits together very well it's like a puzzle you have to put it together but once. you find out where things can go comfortably, it's very easy to just put it there and take it out when you need it now, that's it for our baking cabinet, it's the best way to utilize this awkward space and everything is accessible as You can see that I definitely I love it, but I won't miss this cabinet.

Once we get those out and set up our industrial shelving, now moving to the right side of the stove, we're going to see how Now we're going to store all of our cans and jars. I wanted to be totally honest with myself, so I made sure to pull a lot of my staple items out of my pantry and incorporated them into these systems to make it very realistic. What I would do now is this cabinet is not very long it's just a few inches over 2 feet and remember we use that other cabinet for most of our dishes so our main focus is going to be all of our edible foods so You took everything out of the cabinet and set it up so you can have an idea of ​​how much product is going into that cabinet again.

We want to make sure that our functionality is not in line with our actual use and displayeveryday because we all want to. having something that looks pretty and is organized so we don't have to worry about the stress that comes with having a lot of chaos. Now everything I have put out is product that I actually used and in quantities that I would buy. For me, if I had this amount of space and it was in multiples, you know I don't really make anything, so it made sense to me to get at least four of each type of product and more if sizes were available as well.

Each type of product varies from one inch to seven inches, so I started cold with the 2x4 wrapped with tape to create a raised look, but it just wouldn't allow me to fit almost half of what was on the counter and then I wanted to stack them. on the same rolling system I have now in my pantry, but the lip on the front of the cabinet wasn't big enough so it wouldn't stop the cans from falling off that shelf, so I needed them to go from one side to the other and from Quebec, but to do it I had to create a border.

I created a border using a short dollar curtain rod that can be found at some Dollar stores and added the perfect height so those cans don't fall off the shelf. This is perfect now, you can definitely use anything else that will give you a high lip, but for me this is what I had. my house, so that's what I decided to use guys, so I don't know about you, but I think 48 cans is great for a shelf. Now let's move on to the next shelf. They could definitely use the same type of system using a tension bar. but on this one I wanted to give another option so we're going to go with the 2x4, this will just allow us to add some lift and raise the rear product which also gives it a nice overall look. reuse the product that I really had on hand, which was wood and some adhesive tape.

Duct tape I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby for 89 cents and I'm going to stock it up with a lot of the basic grocery items I bought, but don't buy multiples of, say, six or eight or anything like that and I definitely think we made a big I work using that space. Now I know some of you had concerns with your boxed dinner, like macaroni and cheese or Hamburger Helper rice. a roni type food but I don't have much of that product at home because I make it myself from scratch but as you can see each box has a weight and in each box you also have the instructions, so what do we do?

What you are going to do is consolidate many of these products in one container to maximize your space. What you are going to do is take a container and pour all the dry paste into the container, then you will take the product packaging. and simply clip the instructions and weight of the actual product. Once you've cut that data out, we'll put it all together so that when you want to prepare the food you know exactly what the measurements are because you have the required information now, once you take out the seasoning packet from the product, it doesn't always have a name, so that putting the instructions and weight on the package ensures no mixing in the future once you've done what literally took about 40 seconds you can simply put it in your seasoning refill basket and that's it, and since each container It may contain between 5 and 6 different packages, depending on the type of product you are purchasing, you could have one specifically for your burger helpers. one for your macaroni and cheese, you can have one for dry pasta and right next to that same area you can have your basket with all your seasoning packets.

It's a super easy system and is much more visually appealing and requires very little. Work to get the look you want and think about it, that's about 15 boxes you don't have to worry about storing. I definitely think this part of the organization system was a great success, now the last thing we need to focus on is our condiments. and I'm simply using a product I already had. I had two pieces of bamboo board from my beverage station that I cut from each side and I just held them up and used them along with a 2x4 wrapped with tape to create a raised look, this will simply expand the designated area for all of our spices and oils , so close to the stove.

I have the cooking oil next to me. I have these spray oils in front of them. I have my medallion brand grinders, which you already know. I am very proud and my daily product reach is at the forefront. I made sure to keep my daily reach of produce first in sight so it's there when I need it for cooking. Now they ask me about the art of my cooking. seasoning bombs all the time and I found them several years ago at Qing Dollar for a dollar nine each. Now on the front I have my daily product and on the back I have the product I use from time to time.

I feel like having them raised but together it gives them a coordinated separation for easy gripping of the everyday product and the product that I don't use as often but can still see on the far right. I have the mini condiment jars, now we all have that overflow. seasoning stock we used once in a blue moon and felt this was the appropriate place to store it, it's with a similar product and you see it often enough that you remember it's there and you might want to use it a little quicker. than it would if it were stored, each one has a super simple paper label so you don't forget what they are and a quick tip guys, I haven't bought any red chilies and I always take the ones you get from pizzas and fill them in these containers .

They like to throw that stuff at you, so the more the merrier because I just throw it all in that bin. Now, of course, we're going to need something to fill those containers. You just use your ziplock bags, tape, a pin and create labels for your backups and place them in that spare condiment basket you stored next to the pasta and you'll never have to worry about your condiments or anything looking disorganized. or chaotic because just what you need is accessible, guys, that's it for my no pantry, no
