Organizing My Pantry before and after Pictures

After doing my earlier post about making Thanksgiving and the holidays easier and taking a picture of my pantry, I realized it has gotten out of hand.

I have never had so much food in my cupboard and that is great but I need to start finding ways to use some of it up over the next few weeks. This is not saying I won't buy the great deals I find, but in the same time want to clear out the old as I bring in more.

Right now in my cupboard I have

20 Hamburger Helper ( the majority of these were bought at Walmart on the clearance shelf for 50 cents each and I had coupons

6 Macaroni and Cheese Jiffy cups ( quick lunch )

11 Jars of Ragu Spagetti sauce

13 Betty Crocker Au Gratin Pototatoes ( these have coupons on them for liter Coke bottles)

5 Packages of Velvetta Macaroni and Cheese or Kraft Macaroni Cheese

5 Jiffy Blue Berry Muffin packages

6 Jiffy Corn Bread Muffin packages

1/3 of a package of Instant mash potatoes

1 Pasta Roni

2 1/3 boxes of Elbow Macaroni pasta

4 packages of Idahoan Mash Potatoes

1 Jello pudding

3 Jello

1 package of Taco Shells

1 package of Banquet Homestyle Bakes Creamy Cheesy Chicken Alfredo

1/2 package of Bisquick

1 Free Sample of Betty Crocker Potatoes

1 package of Carnation Instant Breakfast

1 1/2 bottles of Ranch dressing

1 bottle of Italian dressing

5 Bumble Bee Albacore Tuna packages

8 cans of Campbell Tomato soup

3 cans of Mushroom soup

3 Progresso Soup

1 Campbell Select Soup

2 cans of Rotel Tomatoes

10 cans of Hunts Diced Tomatoes with spices

1 can of peas

2 cans of popeye spinach

3 cans of Chicken gravy

5 Jars of Salsa

4 Cans of Hormel Chili

3 Jars of Peanut Butter

2 mustard

3 Lea & Perrins Worchester Sauce

1 Miracle Whip

5 + boxes of Cereal

3 boxes of Quaker Instant Oatmeal

4 + cans of Coffee

2 packages of Taco seasoning

1/2 package of Lipton Soup Mix

2 1/2 packages of Lipton to Go

plus samples of ceareal, and nutrition bars

This list shows what I have a lot of and what I have little of. I will print out this list and cross off as I use items or add items when I buy.

This is just the pantry items need to do an inventory list on items in linen closet and laundry, cleaning areas of home and put a list of that.

There is the before and the after picture of my pantry now. Not perfect but sure a lot better.
