Tip #1: Empty Cabinets and Drawers

Tips #2 Tackle the Pantry
As you start putting away items, it’s important to group similar items. When putting the items back in the pantry or cabinets group each item by category. For example, group together spices, canned food, baking supplies, etc. Compartmentalize these items through the use of baskets and containers for easy access.
