Pantry Inventory Part 1

I was inspired to get things inventoried and cleaned up in the pantry which was in need because TraceyBee did it here.  There were also some questions at my couponing class about where and what I kept on hand.  It is always changing based on the sales and I had been keeping a list of the things on the higher shelves but haven't cleaned through the pantry in quite awhile but most of my items go right into this pantry.

This is my pantry for all the foods to cook with all the way to the right.  There is a cabinet on the top with four shelves and the bottom has four pull out shelves.

Below is the top part of the pantry after I cleaned it all up.  I think that I might have just moved things around but I can easily see where everything is now much better then before.  I made a list on a piece of paper while I was going through what I had on each shelf.

I fit a ton into a small space for sure but that is usually where most of my shopping hauls end up.  I have to rearrange quite a few times to fit in the different things that I get but I think that I have a handle on the items that are hidden in there.  I have to make sure that we use all those things before filling it up with more so those are the things that get used in my meal plans.

I hope that this give you an idea of what I have stocked up on so that you don't think things are piled around in corners of my house like the Extreme Couponers Show.  I fit everything into the space in my kitchen and use all the things that I fit in (except one box of banana pudding that I am not sure how I got but I threw it away today when cleaning up).  Hope this gives you an idea of how you can fit lots of stuff in a small pantry and use the space in your own home to fit your grocery store finds.
