Frequently Asked Questions
How do I organize my pantry on a budget?
If you are looking for ways to organize your kitchen on a budget, we recommend that you first take all of the items out of your pantry to find out what you have. Then, put like items together and then sort them into various categories.
Some good organization categories might be:
- canned goods,
- dry goods,
- snacks, vitamins/supplements,
- spices/herbs/seasonings,
- cleaning supplies,
- oils/vinegars/marinades.
Next, think about how you can organize these items based on which ones are used more often or need to be kept cool (like the canned goods) and which ones should not be stored near each other. Then start shopping for containers to keep everything organized!
Knowing exactly what you need to organize helps make shopping for containers quicker, easier and cheaper. Once you’ve taken inventory of what you need to organize you can easily buy organization baskets and containers knowing that you’re getting exactly what you need.
We love using Dollar tree baskets and bins to organize pantries. If you don’t have a Dollar Tree in your area you can head to Amazon and check out their selection of baskets and other organizational items.
What is the best way to organize a pantry?
Organizing a pantry is easiest if you sort and group similar items together. This organizational approach makes putting away grocery and finding things when you need them simple quick and easy. This also helps you avoid shoving food items randomly into your pantry space without any order.
How you actually group similar items depends on what pantry foods you buy and use regularly.
In general, you can consider grouping items in the following broad categories. Add and remove groups as needed for your own pantry.
Baking supplies – Flour, sugar, spices, chocolate chips, baking soda/powder
Canned goods – Soups/chili, vegetables & fruits, beans & lentils
Breakfast foods – Cereal, oatmeal packets or jars, pancake mix or ready to eat breakfast sandwiches,
Condiments – Mayo, ketchup, BBQ sauce, salad dressing, flavored vinegars or oils
Crackers and snacks – Cheez-its, cracker snack mixes, chips/crisps and other individual size bags of snacks
Dry goods and pasta – Rice, pasta, noodles, rice noodles, dry beans et
Drinks – Juice boxes and drinks mixes in larger quantities
How do I organize a small pantry?
Having a small pantry is an added challenge when you are trying to stay organized. But it doesn’t have to be difficult.
Even with a small pantry, if you are able to sort and group similar items together, then all you need is the right storage containers for each category.
You can also transform another area in your home into an overflow area where you store less frequently used items to free up some space in your small pantry.
With limited shelf space in your pantry, consider these ideas for organizing contents that are commonly stored there:
Bins & baskets — Use a couple of baskets or bins to keep items that are commonly used together in one place. One basket for snack foods and another for canned goods, for example.
Use clear containers — If you hate digging through cupboards and pantry shelves, use clear containers so you can easily see what it contains from the top shelf!
Label items — Labeling your containers helps keep you organized, because you can see what’s inside at a glance. You’ll know exactly where things go when putting them away, too!
By simply grouping similar items together and then storing them in clear bins or baskets you’ll have an easy to maintain, well-organized pantry. And best of all it will be practical and functional.

Amazon has a large selection of clear storage bins and baskets.
What can you do without a pantry?
If you don’t have a pantry, there are lots of other ways to stay organized.
Investing in a pantry cabinet might be a good option for you. Or turn the under-the-counter cabinet into your new pantry! Use clear storage bins to store food items and place them on top of the counter or inside the cabinet to save space. Finally, you could turn an unused closet into a pantry and store items there.
