As an OCD sufferer, I really want you to put ALL of the appliances together, and all of the pots/pans together...
Yes!!!!! And why is the rice noodles not with the rice. 🤦🏻♀️
Was definitely thinking the same thing 😂
Yes to that! And I am not ocd but it makes a lot more sense and will probably lead to less mess in the future.
I would do left side appliances and right side food. Heavy appliances/most used ones at the bottom and light at the top.
Group food items together by use baking, breakfast, snacks, grains, starches, cooking sauces and so on. Also, get bins for speciallity items and store at the ypper shelves as they otherwise take up premium easy to reach space.
I dont think you need ocd to feel this way frankly it seems the logical common sense and most efficient way to group like with like.
Drives me insane when people think just wanting to have things organised and neat and everything in its place and home is somehow ocd (not you mind you but randoms thinking anyone who isnt a hot mess is somehow ocd)
@@EmmaAppleBerry i don’t have ocd but yes it does seem logical. That’s how I have my pantry.
I put my appliances on plant stands with wheels on the bottom on my pantry huge game changers
That is an amzing idea. Thanks for shareing.
@@shellysjostrom2646 I think I got it from Apartment Therapy. My pantry is deep so one for the kitchen aide and one for the instant pot. I got the one in that are a cross as the square ones were too small.
What a great idea!!!
Please remove the stickers from your bins!!! 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂
Separate your “tools” and your food items.
Did I see that right???? You have THREE Instant Pots????????
😳
Fantastic idea!
All I could think was: at least put the sticker side of the bars containers against the all, lol
Haha yes me too🤣. Pull the stickers off, wipe the shelves Christine 😃
Or peel them off! Ditto so much visual clutter!
That’s what I was thinking! I guess it doesn’t bother her tho, and that’s all that matters 😂
Me too🤣
I just came here to beg her to remove the stickers lol
“I don’t know what I am doing” is the official motto of 2020
LOL LOL LOL.... U bet LOL join my club. LOL
Laws of that isn’t the honest truth!
How to fight overwhelm while organizing:
Step one trash
Step two: easy stuff that's in the wrong place (you did a lot of this)
Step 3: visibility rule - what catches your eye? Walk out and back in. The biggest eyesores make the biggest impact.
Take before and after pictures, set a timer and take at least a break when it goes off.
You can do it!!!!
amem
Absolutely. Thank you. Taking pictures and even putting the "after" pictures up to set a standard works so well!
If it were me, I would put all the "whole" dry ingredients on one shelf. So all the baking goods, rice and beans, etc. I would include the chocolate chips as well. Then I would sort boxed and canned goods so like items are together.
Me too.
Me three. Like ingredients together is the key.
Me four ;)
Also all appliances together either on the floor or on the bottom shelf :-)
Yes!
We have a rescue cat who was kept in a 2x2 box for the first 10 months of her life at a "rescue". We got her when the police needed people to foster all the animals that they seized when they raided said "rescue". She didn't know how to jump and was really weak and struggled to walk distances. Now we have fully adopted her she is just a special blessing to our family that brightened our lives. She has terrible separation anxiety and can't be left alone or she freaks out, so I bought one of those cat bubble backpacks and she goes where we go if no one is going to be at home.
It might make more sense to group things into categories. Like beans and rice could go to together, all snacks and bars, all cooking appliances. Like maybe give all the kitchen appliances/non-food cooking things a shelf? Just an idea!
I just wrote the same type of comment before I saw yours!
What she said and then label the shelves so that everything goes back on the right one and they won't get messy ever again 😃
Girl, you have it all together, just not all at the same time! 😆
😄😄😄
"Bad life decisions at Costco" is such a mood😂
Right?? I think it needs to be a new Christine video topic like Grocery Hauls or Day in the Life. 😆
@@carmarasmussen8118 yesss 😂😂
I honestly really like seeing things that aren't picture perfect organization. As nice as flawless organization looks, I myself am typically very disorganized. So seeing things cluttered and stuff I'm like oh hey, people actually live there and I feel less bad about how things come to look at my house.
Me too!
I am like this. I need to get organized
I am really liking some of the new editing stuff you’re doing! It’s not too much but adds some fun to the already fun videos! ☺️☺️
Glad to hear it!
I like that your video included your thoughts about and how you actually maneuvered the items in your pantry. Most videos show the before, taking everything off the shelves and then the final. I like seeing how you actually go thru the process. Can’t wait to see part two.
100% agree!
I love that she is so real. Like we are part of the family.
I lost control of my stockpile when I caught covid and ended up a week in the hospital. Every once in a while I head into the back room with a sharpie and a BAD ATTITUDE and organize and mark dates.
I am so with you on the Sharpie with an attitude 👍🏻
I have to keep on top of FIFO myself. The rotation was killing me, from my limited space situation. But, I got creative, and made my own version of the “mechanical room”
@@marthaross6301 oh I hear ya! I found out I needed nothing but 2 sheets sets per bed and put them in baskets hidden in the guest room and found another big basket for blankets and now my linen closet holds some of our food. If you just be creative you can make food storage happen.
@@carynwood9158 absolutely! I have a small home- to happily coexist with my possessions, I must be organized. It’s amazing to find out how much I really DON’T need. Keeping the “wants” under control.
First sorting, like with like- now the choosing begins. Time to pass some things on, that no longer suit my life. Making space for what does.....😉 glad you’re feeling better
@@marthaross6301 Thank you!
"A bad attitude." 😂
When you have more space to work with, the more chances you become unorganized. 🤗 I think you should group the things in your pantry into categories and put the things that you don't reach for too often at the top shelf or on your storage. Good luck to your pantry organization! ❤️
Me: who hoards spaghetti squash?
Christine: **slowly raises hand**
😅🤣😂
Love spaghetti squash
Squash, should be in garage.
I was using the vertical princess net with round holes on the sides to put plushies for my squash. I was hanging it like a hamoc.
She grew them!! I was hoping for a series of 10 ways to serve/make spaghetti squash lol.
Hey, 1st thing take a deep breathe. Take everything out . Wash down and sweep. And put one thing at a time.
I love that!!!
I’m doing that!!
🙏🏻
You did awesome! As long as it makes sense to YOU
The peanut butter was in the wrong place cos someone has been hiding in the pantry eating it with a spoon lol.
"It's so overwhelming" - so relatable, especially this year... there have been so many days where I just haven't known where to start in 2020!!
Ahhhh, you shared your messy pantry with me! Now I feel like when I tell my family about my best friend in Idaho (who doesn’t know she’s my best friend) that it is really true! Great video and fun as always!
I saw many of your videos and I am amazed that Americans are bothered about frugality!! Very nice especially in today's times! Keep it going.
You can’t believe everything you see on tv. Lol regular Americans all care about frugality.
I had to step away because children but I have to say it’s so awesome seeing an American family pantry without all that awful junk “food”. 💪🏻
Thumbs up for showing and accepting that weaknesses and imperfection is part of life 👍👍👍 and here's a round of applause as well 👏👏👏 Love your videos, Christine!!! They're "perfect" to me 🙂
Yes! Thank you!
When you make your Ghirardelli brownies try substituting melted butter for the amount of oil that is called for. Game changer.
I bet coconut oil would be awesome too! If you like the taste of coconut.
I would group all food on the middle shelves into like categories, and then line the top and floor with all your appliances. But it looks better already!
I like your suggestion. Categories like "baking" would have all your sugars, flours, choc chips, that brownie mix, baking soda, etc. Then another section could be "sides" like beans, rice, pastas, quinoa, potato products. I like how she put the beans above the rices. I'd continue to make a row (about 6-12 inches wide) from top shelf to bottom shelf for all sides, keeping same "kind of product together".
I did the same thing today, we moved to a house with a food storage room in the basement three months ago and I just now got around to actually using it. My poor pantry was a huge mess before.
A satisfying pantry organisation video on a Friday?! Christine Machine is spoiling us
Love love 💗 love this video! Off to organize and declutter my pantry! Thanks!
One tip I picked up recently - putting a Command cord bundler on the back of small appliances so you have somewhere to stash the cord when it's on your shelf so it's not just flopping around. I have one on our stand mixer and air fryer and it's great to not have to figure out where to put it when I store them!
I LOVE this!!! Your commentary is totally what I have in my head while I organize! I have no idea what I’m doing and I make it up as I go.
I'm someone who enjoys organizing, and I think I do it well, I really just want to crawl through the screen and help!
IKR?? It's like, oooh, let me at it!! I find myself straightening by category even at the Goodwill store 😂
Me too. I just got home from a 3 day trip of organizing my cousins house. Her working from home and having to deal with it all got to much. I am sore but so happy to have had another place to organize and make beautiful.
My house looks like a mess on the surface but open a cabinet and every thing is nice and neat. Can't fix husband so I just deal with it.
When shopping I actually start organizing putting items back where they belong or grouping items or putting them in correct size order. It bugs me so much trying to find something at a store and its an absolute mess it should lot take me 3 times the amount it should because you can't organize.
@@sabrinaguthrey836 ugh, so much THIS!!
Save the Kitchen Aide for Hailey! It would be great for her having her grandmother’s appliance and she’s not that far from leaving home at 18! As far as organizing the pantry, you could do what my sister-in-law does and alphabetize everything! It’s a pain for me to put something away in it because I have to stand there and sing the alphabet song to myself a few times but it’s easy for her to find something! She does her spices the same way! I am not that OCD! Basically, I would separate and group together all your baking supplies, canned goods, pantry staples ( like rice, pasta, beans etc.), snacks, and all your health products like protein powders etc. and breakfast items like pancake mixes, cereals, pop-tarts etc.! I would put all the appliances and big pots that won’t fit in your cabinet together! And I’m at a loss for your spaghetti squash - can you cut them up and freeze them?
I just wanted to say thank you for doing the spaghetti squash whole in the intant pot in your other video! It's so much better than cutting it into multiple circles it changed my life!!!
Edited for grammar although I still have a run on sentence. Apologies 😶
You always make me giggle and hear my own self come out of your mouth. Adorable! We all have to start somewhere, Just start! And your voices and musical interludes make just laugh out loud!
Thanks for showing your PROCESS!!! I avoid projects because I don’t know what to do/how to start. I loved that you showed you start the same way!
That's an awesome pantry! It's not that bad, looks very normal. Definitely would be fun to have a pantry that big, to reorganize it. Great project!
You know you've made it when you have 3 instant pots
lol 😂
Oh man! So jealous! I’m pretty sure I need three instant pots too!
I feel like you need to take advantage of the height of the shelves by using taller storage containers or add in an additional shelf so there is less wasted vertical space. You might also benefit from painting the inside of your pantry white. It makes it brighter and you can see all that you have better.
I also break up my pantry into zones and then tidy the zones throughout the week as you use items from the pantry. If I have some items that have been in there a while and need to be used up I put them in a specific location in the pantry so that I remember to use them up. It's all about inventory management. You have so much more to manage than I do so maybe my suggestions won't work for you.
More painting?!?!?! Make it STOP!!!!
I’m a zone person too. One area is all breakfast. Another all baking stuff. Ect.
@@FrugalFitMom lol sorry she said the P word . Oxo makes clear tall containers
I am so so so in love with your videos! Your meal planning tips have honestly changed my life; and as someone with a single income and two human (and three kitty) mouths to feed, every little bit helps. Now we meal plan from our pantry and fridge and freezer first, allowing things to stretch further and for some really creative meals. We also use Solidgold pet food so it was cool to see them support a YTer I like so much!
I use my kitchen aid for like 3 recipes; it lives in the garage. Also, make spaghetti squash like spaghetti. Roast the squash and top it with meat sauce.
Put "like" things together. Whether that is all on the same shelf or make "sections" is up to you. Put your beans and rice by each other, all your baking supplies together. Extra pots, salad spinner together, all your appliances together, etc. 😉 You could label your containers. Clutterbug has some great ideas. 😍
LOL, having kids the age you do, I think I'd put $300 appliances in the basement for them later :)
I cleaned/organized my pantry after watching your last organize the pantry video. I would suggest putting all your heavy appliances on the bottom, light appliances up top. Looks good so far.
I wanna thank you for your vids like this. I cleared out my under the sink cabinet and now I can see everything again! I also got rid of a bunch of old stuff.
If I wasn't so far away I would offer to organize your pantry 😍. I love pantry organization. If I had half the space you have, I would have it made lol
I’m watching this and trying to get motivation for my own pantry that needs organized. We have so many snacks and keep buying more 😬
Hi Christine, you’re getting there!! As an Organizer, follow these rules. 1) Every item needs a home so zone your areas once sorted and label on the shelf. This will create boundaries. 2) always store like with like so you’re correct with pasta together, grains, baking etc. 3) In/out rule - only purchase what’s needed as things run out. 4) Label everything! This helps items that get decanted be put in the right place ex remove the stickers from Walmart containers and label with Granola Bars, Energy Bars, protein bars etc. it will help greatly with maintenance 😊
I have one large tall ‘pantry cabinet’ someday I hope to have an actual pantry storage area not just a cabinet 😆 love watching these, gives me great ideas thanks!
I have the same and it makes me bananas..its tall and deep and I cant keep it organized no matter what I try and I can reach anything .😬😬😬
Ohhhhh....me too!!! I DREEEEAAAMMM of an actual closet pantry!! Yes-the cabinet is so deep and there’s not much room at the front so everything is constantly getting shuffled around and, AND, I have to keep a flashlight in there so that I can see what’s in the back! Crawling down on the floor to find and get to what’s on the bottom shelf? Anyone? 🙋♀️🤦♀️
I guess I’m pretty lucky, ours has the nice pull out shelves so I can keep it somewhat organized but I would still love more space!
@@aldolly8393 I've been checking into having my son install the pull out shelf things in mine!
@@kae7131 ugh the floor crawl kills me,I'm getting to old for that!😬😂 my grown daughter loves to organize and she organized the cabinets for me and now i dont know where anything is.🤔😂
Love all these sponsors you're getting recently!! So glad to see :D
Thumbs up for the Aggie sweatshirt!! You're awesome, Christine. I appreciate all I learn from you!
This video is so encouraging for people struggling with organizing, you have no idea. ♥️♥️♥️
Thanks for the inspiration due to your video I cleaned out a drawer in my kitchen with a lot of pantry items. I feel so good now.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who gets stuck after making some good progress.
I love organization.. It is a great stress reliever❤ it's just getting the rest of the family on board. Makes life more fun 🤣
FRUGALFITMUM BRITAIN NEEDS YOU!!! WE NEED YOU!!! 😂
Loved this one Christine! It feels like just yesterday you did your last pantry clean out! Maybe on the first shelf off the floor you could put all the food on one side? You could even move the breakfast where the beans are, the beans right next to the rice, and then scooch all the appliances and containers to the left! Just an outside perspective but of course you do you girl 😉
I absolutely love your comic inserts in your videos. Your channel is my favorite.
I put together a use first box each pantry clean out. Each day I cook after that, I aim to use one of the use first things. It helps. It is also my favorite thing to clean out while zone cleaning.
I have a broom closet size pantry. I am putting shelves in it today and hopefully get my pantry stuff in the pantry.
I am in the process of turning my linen cupboard into my pantry. So decluttering linen, food and kitchen tools.appliances etc.
I just cleaned my pantry and put stuff that didn’t need to be in there down stairs as well! I normally organize the food once a month or every other month depending when I go to walmart for my large grocery haul!
Just some suggestions 😁
Id place the biggest and heaviest appliances on the floor. Also any big food bags or boxes.
Id place all other appliances on the bottom shelf.(keeping similar things together makes it easier to find)
Id place all snacks and treats on the shelf second from the bottom. Makes it easy to view and access for your kids.
On the very top shelf I'd place anything that is RARELY used.
Use the other middle shelves for everything else. Ie rice, beans, pasta, oils, spices, breakfast items. Place most used items in the center of shelves and lesser used item on the sides.
It is absolutely not a waste of space to line your beans like that. Always best to have things as visible as possible. That way you're always aware of what you have and how much you have of them.
Also Labels are KEY, not just for display but also because it lets everyone in the family where things go. This makes it more likely that everyone will put things back in the same place and ultimately make your organization last longer.
My pantry is organized by shelf. Top shelf is appliances (although one instant pot, my coffee maker, and kitchen aid are out all the time). Next one down is baking stuff like flours, chocolate chips, sugars, etc. Next one is cooking stuff like rice, beans, canned tomatoes, jar sauces, etc. Next one is stuff for the kiddo and husband like breakfast cereals, bars, snacks, and easy lunches. The bottom shelf is mostly random storage containers, travel mugs, mixing bowls, and canning jars. Bulk rice, vinegar, baking soda, etc go on the floor.
Having a theme for each shelf keeps it organized and helps my kiddo know where to put groceries away.
You are hilarious!! Love your videos!
My mantra on organizing?
"Like with like"
I am still not there, but gradually getting my reserves in shape. So yes - bars in a general area, pastas in a general area, baking items (flours all in one area, baking powder/soda, sweeteners etc. nearby, etc. ) Like with like works in the kitchen and in workshops, bedrooms, laundry rooms.
Life gets simpler! Gradually...
You crack me up! I don't have a pantry and only a couple cupboards so I have a made shift pantry in my basement. Works pretty good. My best suggestion is to try and keep like items together. It help make sense.
Can I just say I want your size pantry 🤩🤩 Being able to put a ton of things away including the kitchen counter appliances!!
Thanks - reminded me to finish moving pastas from boxes to plastic containers. Off to do right now! The refrigerator we ordered September 13 is being delivered tomorrow - hooray! Now I know what I will be doing tomorrow 😁. Have a wonderful week.
You and DoItonaDime would be the perfect collab. She does an amazing job organizing and decorating.
Christine, I just love your channel and your family, you all are so much fun to watch, you inspire me everyday! I love it when you organize or redo a room, it's my passion! I'm retiring at the end of this month & after it's safe to do so I'm thinking about doing it for other's. I know when my house isn't cluttered my mind also isn't cluttered. (Disclaimer: I don't have children to mess thing's up, so those with children I know it's easier said than done.)
I think you did a great job. You always do great with all your videos and the finished product and you keep it real
Hysterical! I spy the SALAD SPINNER! 💃 Thanks to you and Jen , I had to have one. My adult kids laugh at how excited I am over it (daughter bought it for me). “We know, Mom, we know. The crispiest lettuce we’ll ever have”. 😂😂
Gotta go. Gotta organize my pantries. 🏃🏻♀️
How ironic that Beetlejuice is out again! I reorganized my pantry with you when this video first released and it’s been a great system ever since. Mad props and love to our girl FFM!!!!!🎉❤😊
Collect empty shoe boxes, cover them with contact paper and label. It's a cheap and tidy way to store small boxes, odd shape packages, baggies, bars etc. Another inexpensive idea is a clear plastic hanging shoe holder. Great for snack bars, gravy mixed, seasonings, anything smaller than a shoe!
Best piece of advice I have for organizing a pantry is “like with like” and not just rice with rice but all grain together; all breakfast stuff together; all canned items; put your tools together on one shelf; snacks; etc. I saw you put two big bins of bars on one shelf and then the little bin of bars on a different shelf. Also take the labels off the bins because it makes it look messier than it is, you don’t need fancy labels though. I find myself using bins for different items depending on what I’ve stocked up on, kinda like what you did with the bars.
Girl, you're cracking me up!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are so great!!!!
Here are a few tips... stickers off containers, or flip to not see, or make a label out of paper to hide old label.
Put all like things together- all appliances, pots, pan, mixers all on floor and the shelf above that. All grains and bean together ect. All things baking together(mixes, flours, chocolate chips). Clear containers are always best for storage when buying so you can see what is in them. ♡ Clear storage shoe boxes work amazing with lids for stacking or without lids for bigger thing. And the are only 1$.
GREAT tips in organizing, remember all like things together!♡
Another thought...You could use left side of panty for food and panty. And right side for appliances and pans?!
Lol I love your sense of humor, I'm sitting here watching your video with headphones and laughing out loud. My family already knows I'm weird.
I DIED at the My Big fat Greek wedding reference! Hahaha 😂 what a great movie
Christine i almost never comment but you are driving me crazy! I want to climb into your video and take over! Lol!!! Group your baking supplies together, your bins together and put all your appliances together. You are killing me girl.
I laughed the whole time I was watching! 🤣😂 You keep it so real! Thank you for sharing!
When I do this, I move everything large, then I work from top to bottom. I check dates on everything as I group similar items together. Once everything is out, I wash the shelves top to bottom. Then take my groups, light stuff goes on the top, heavy stuff like cans or jars go on the bottom. stuff I use the most or need to use like fresh produce or things that expire soon go to the front where it will be the first thing that I see. That is just me and what I do may not work for you but I hope it helps someone.
I always love to see the progress in organizing.
I can’t believe you are getting rid of your kitchen aid mixer! 😳 Say what what! I couldn’t live without mine, and I used to use it for a small baking business I had, where I sold my baked goods at our local farmers market! you might want it later on in life when you don’t have everyone living at home. But I know you really like your Bosch, so I guess two is not needed. You sound the same as me when it comes to organizing, it’s such a painful process for me. Luckily I have a daughter in law who loves to come over and organize! You are doing a great job! 😃
You did good on the first part of your pantry organization. Love your TX A&M shirt!
Your organization is looking very good, thanks for the motivation! Can't wait for part#2.
I think I need to drive to Idaho with matching/coordinating bins and my label maker! lol I so badly wanted to jump through the screen and help! My advice...take EVERYTHING out, group like items together, then put back. One shelf for appliances/pots/etc. Then all baking together, then all canned together, rice/potatoes, together etc. For the protein bars/granola bars...stand them up in the baskets like a filing cabinet so you can easily see them all and not have to dig through the basket. :) Thanks for sharing this with us.
Thanks for being real about not being great at organizing and getting overwhelmed and not knowing where to start! It's a real struggle for me. Not to mention the bins are expensive!
Christine, you're one of my favorite people on TH-cam. I love you and you deserve all the things and thumbs ups lol. 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Love the realness! Sometimes it's just our of sight out of mind
Heavy stuff at the bottom like your instant pots or flour bins. After that, go by use of the items doing sections. Breakfast, snacks, cooking deserts ingredients... For your beans, use a little metal shelf like the one for the snacks. And do your sections vertical. Ex: Do a 1-2 feet section on one shelf for breakfast. If you have more, put it over or under instead of going 3-4 feet long on the same shelf. Put all your pasta, rice in side by side section. Same for the cans. Fruit one side and veggies/tomatoes together. Put together what you use for the same kind of meal. And one section for your specialty ingredients. Last, put hangers on the wall for your broom, mops...
Kitchen looks great and the lights is perfect
New subscriber here! I came for the crockpot recipes and organization videos staying for the movie quote/references😁
I like to categorize by product... all kitchen supplies on one shelf, snacks all together, condiments, dry goods/ pasta/rice/beans, cans, etc etc!
I just adore your personality...an yes you did a good job so far!
Plastic shoe boxes with lids work REALLY well for the snack bars & other snacks. Lids make it easy to stack & each shoe box can have a different type of bar in it. If you get clear ones you can see which type is in each shoe box.
Organize any way that makes sense to you. I have a 5x5 IKEA Kallax in my kitchen (because I do not have a pantry) and each cube has either drawers or a bin. Each bin is labeled: baking stuff, canned veggies, pasta, (my fave is "rice, rice baby" 😂), etc. This works for me because I have to put things in the correct bin, and that helps me keep it organized. I also have a 4x2 Kallax that stores my crockpots, etc., I just need to get the doors for each cube. Definitely worth the investment!! (I used gift cards!!)
You have great space. You have to make sections for different categories of items.
There is no need to put some food items in another storage place you mentioned. You can keep the extra items in the same pantry. Like the 2 little boxes of jello. Big bulky items yes in your basement storage. And if you label your pantry shelves it will be obvious to everyone where the items are kept.
Love all your videos, I've learned so much about saving $ on groceries. That said, I also looove to organize and this video makes me want to get my hands on your pantry😂
I love organizing a pantry. My hands are itching to get in there and do it for you lol. Can't wait for part 2.
