finally someone that doesnt transfer all their stuff from the original packaging to clear storage bins.
Love it! That‘s realistic and Not Pinterest perfect
It's why I watch her! And Kim from The Wads. They are REAL.
Yes!
That is actually why I watched it. Went looking for videos on this subject and other than this they all seem to start with Step 1 move 75% of you items some place else and go out and buy a bunch of cute containers.
When Christine's "chaos pantry" is still better than your "organized pantry" 😂
Honestly yes lol 😂
You ain't even wrong 😂
Yep
Yes
😂😂yep
Take the Clutter Bug quiz! You're definitely a macro organizer (big bins) and I think you prefer visual abundance (see all your items, clear bins).
That's what I was thinking too. She's a butterfly. Clear bins would have been better.
I think she might be a ladybug because she clutters her closet pantry
I think she's a ladybug because she likes the macro categories in bins. But if she loses her inventory count because she can't see what she has, then she's definitely a butterfly!
Agree on taking the Clutterbug quiz! Good luck and let us know what you found. :)
I was just about to type this lol
Dawn the minimal mom, uses bins but she also mentions that Dana K White is the one who she learned not to pull everything out of a space to declutter it. Just one item at a time. It is so helpful. I don’t get as overwhelmed when I know I need to declutter a space. Great video! 👍🏼
Will try this instead, because I get super overwhelmed taking everything out.
Ditto. Dana K White wrote a couple books that have been so helpful to me, How to Manage Your House Without Losing Your Mind, and Decluttering at the Speed of Life. Her blog is A Slob Comes Clean.
As soon as I saw her say this I was like, "That's Dana's thang!"
Dana is amazing! I love her 2 books but I havent had a chance to get/read the new one. She doesnt sugar coat things, and keeps very honest about her own struggles.
I love organizing. I feel like me watching this is the equivalent of when my husband watches football on TV. I'm not yelling at the screen, but I am definitely the armchair quarterback making suggestions I know you cannot hear. 😂 Also large clear bins definitely a great way to go! That's how most of my pantry is. I do not put cereal boxes in the bins, just next to!
Christine you are the most real and relatable person! Yes getting and staying organized is always a work in progress!!! This pantry organization looks great! I really like the “full bin, don’t need more” concept.
You might try labelling the shelves with each section so everyone in your house knows what each section is. It doesn't guarantee people will get things back where they should be, but it doesn't hurt!
It will help!
Yup, once I did that for the pantry and fridge, the chaos was kept to a minimum.
I've lost track of how many times we have organized this pantry! However, I'm envious of the size of the pantry =)
Yes I remember a couple previous organizations 😄
Imagine a house were everyone puts stuff where it belongs!!!
It always helps if you're the only one in and out like me. Mom doesn't cook anymore so I redid it to suit me. I have no labels but I have a whole shelf of baking supplies laid in.
Who else is dying to know the expiration date of those pumpkin spice chips?!?! 😅
Christine, I only have three adults in my home and my pantry shelves are a mess. I realized from your video that I need large, see-through bins with labels. I’m going to give them a try. 🥰
It looks great.
Who else LoVes the doubly do …..always smile when Christine says that .
We can thank Wheezy Waiter and the Vlog Brothers for coming up with/popularizing the term 😊 It's cute
I literally have to do this EVERY. SINGLE. MONTH. The organizational struggle is real!
If you have to keep redoing it then it's time to reevaluate. Only a system that works for your family is organization.
@@sarahsmith9084 I hear you there. Toddlers have other thoughts lol 😄
@@jessica8518 lol, yeah there's no go solution there except time. Good luck!
Look into the Clutter Bug organizing styles. It sounds like you either need a different style of system or are cramming a lot into a small space. She says her house basically keeps itself tidy now that she's found what works.
@@haveyougotyourtowel Everyone has their own way of doing things. For me, it isn't clutter that's the issue, it's three toddlers lol. Anything that they see tends to get repositioned because 'I help too' haha. Thanks for the advice! 🙂
Looks so nice!!! I think though that like with everything - you can’t just be one and done- it’s so normal to have to do maintenance maybe once a week where you find strays back to the bins.
My pantry is the bane of my existence! I'm comforted that others struggle too.
Seriously right there with you!
Keep all baking nuts in the freezer. They won’t get stale that way.
or fridge... They taste better too as the oils don't dry out and go funny because they are fresher
I WISH I had a pantry that size! Love to see organizing videos ❤️
Sometimes organization has to do with everyday life and having a “home” for everything. It doesn’t have to be pretty, but that it works for you.
Since I don't have a pantry, anyone's looks great to me! I have a small, multi-shelf rolling cart that I try to use as a quasi-pantry in addition to using my kitchen cabinets as my main food storage space. As far as Christine's pantry, I like the way she has categorized her items as it makes sense to her. I like the general categories she has but I think adding bigger labels that are more descriptive would help keeping things organized (examples: savory snscks, sweet snacks, Christine drinks, Dave/Christine energy bars, etc.). How long will it last? IF the kids and Dave help keep items in their designated spots, then a quick tidy up weekly or when putting groceries away should keep it that way.
Agreed on the pantry envy! I've also got a small rolling cart and one (yes, ONE) kitchen cupboard where I can store food, the only other cupboard holds all of my pots/pans/plates/bowls/mugs/glasses etc.
Thus, I've allocated storage in all sorts of weird and wonderful places throughout the house including; the unit my tv sits on, under my bed, in my wardrobe, on a second hand shelf in my bedroom, and in the hollow arms of my armchair. A Christine style pantry would be the absolute jackpot for me 😂
The heaviness of the condiment bin suggests it should be on a lower shelf or on the floor to prevent future problems.
I’m gonna give it a month. I cannot keep my pantry organized because we live here and use it
Honestly that shouldn't make a difference if things are put back in their assigned spaces. It is nice to have a place for everything.
@@cajbaf that would be ideal but I have teenagers
@@kimberlychristensen7664 I understand that...had two of my own. But they are old enough to learn it.
A working pantry only works if your organizational system works for your family. Lazy grown-ups can derail things so sometimes organization has to be based around what makes it easier for you to pick up after them. My husband, for example, won't go into our organized chest freezer but he will open the fridge freezer. So, I restock the fridge freezer every couple of weeks with hunks of meat. As long as i do that he will make dinner. Figuring that out costs me like 10 minutes a month now but the reward is hot dinners and a not frustrated husband.
@@kimberlychristensen7664 label it and teach them ! They don't put the toothpaste in the dog food bin do they ? Then they CAN learn.
LOL You made me laugh I literally just uploaded my video last week or 're-organising' my pantry too how on earth it gets like that - oh wait it's because when the children put the shopping away I swear it's thrown in from at least a meter away LOL
"Oh My" This is the first time coming across your channel. I found you so entertaining!!!! Your just so real. Also, your funny naturally! Looks like I will be subscribing. Welcome to my life lol!
Put your backup cornmeal behind your cornmeal canister 👍🏻
Lol. I’m glad my kid isn’t the only one who puts back empty cereal boxes
My entire family does this😀
I was JUST about to comment this. WHY do my kids do this??! It’s like they can’t be bothered to break the box down for recycling! Ha!
@@mykijiji1958 Too many steps for them. Break down the box and take it to the recycle bin, oh my. My teenagers are just lazy and selfish. They don't want to be inconvenience but it's okay for Mom. 💜 I'm sure I did the same thing to my mom 😀
Christine! I literally just did the same basic thing for my mother's pantry yesterday. I even got the same bins from Walmart. Great minds think alike. ;) I really think it's going to be a game changer for my mom and for you too. I have a feeling you'll keep up with it quite well. Thanks for the video and cheers!
That ones empty- I am sure my brothers are living in your house Christine- we used to get our milk in bags when I was young , my brothers would constantly leave a very small amount ok A Few Drops of milk so they wouldn’t have to change the bag .
Kinda like leaving the last little bit of toilet paper... ugh!
Wow, I remember you buying the pumpkin spice toll House
No matter how well you organize, unless you "put it back where you found it" it will always be messy!!!
Maybe try doing a quick organize of your pantry, like 5 minutes every week. Work it into your weekly clean… once you get into the habit you might actually enjoy tidying it… cause it’ll be easy! 😊

I work in dentistry. Those crystal light drinks are EXTREMELY bad for your teeth! We had a patient that we couldn’t figure out why he had so many issues… turns out he was using those trying to cut soda and it wreaked havoc on his mouth. Has come up several times since! They’re horrible.
You are a butterfly when it comes to organizing.
I just watched you help your mother organize her pantry. I like watching you organize because it doesn’t feel overwhelming!
Thank you!
Since I live 2 miles from a grocery store, I let the store be my pantry. lol.
Nice!! I've been watching Dawn's channel for a few weeks now since seeing you talk about her and WOW! My mindset has completely changed & we definitely are in the very messy & long middle of decluttering!
I also could never keep my pantry organized, (30 years struggling) until I purchased large bins with basic labels, such as snacks, chips, coffee, baking, cookies, etc..Now my pantry stays very organized because everyone, husband and kids, know where to look and return items to.
It’s been a game changer. I’m so happy!
I use clear Lucite lazy Susans with sides that are about 3 inches high. Contains my mixes etc. By category, and I don't have to lift a heavy bin; I just twirl to see what I need.
I realize this takes a little more space than square/rectangular bins, but is so much easier for me to access.
Love your pantry. Definite pantry envy.
I just did this very thing in my large pantry! If it makes you feel any better, I’m no expert either......but we amazingly took the very same approach!! Now I am trying to eat out of the pantry for a few months.....grocery bill should be ⬇️ for awhile!! Enjoyed this video! ~Charlotte
this is the inspiration I needed to rearrange and organize my pantry!!
Good job, it looks much better. I have followed Dawn as well. It is so satisfying to know where everything is when you need it.
I love your videos but this is the 3rd pantry organization video. It's not complicated. Just organize your pantry. Still love your videos
Question what’s the oldest or what’s the furthers past expiration date I saw from one she had yeast from 1977 and spice 1980 😱😱😱 just curious what yours is lol
Crystal light contains citric acid. Unfortunately those drink mixes are terrible for your teeth 😞 the acid erodes your enamel!! Sensitivity is a symptom of enamel erosion. Talk to your dentist about how to treat & prevent further damage.
Please DO NOT donate the "Core & Rind Cashew Cheesy Sauce" since it has already been opened and it was sitting on your pantry shelf. It says on the label to "Refrigerate after opening".
I bought 2, opened one, and the pantry one was sealed. 😁
I have a bin for opened snacks that must be eaten first and another bin for unopened ones. If it were me, I'd corral all of the little packets and individual bags into a smaller box inside the bigger bin. Yes, box within a box within a box. LOL
Thank you for being real. I love it. Perfect pantries are not realistic. I need to reorganize my (very small) pantry cupboard often!
Great video. Looks so well organized. Love the tips. Glad you have all the space. 😍
Always remember, progress over perfection!
My tip. Organize your pantry after one of your big grocery or Costco trips. That shows me what bins and space I need for everything. I used to buy too small bins and then overflow them when I restocked.
You know you've hit a new age category when you are jealous of another woman's pantry haha
This idea is genius! I used these bins to reorganize my smaller pantry and it worked great!!! I can now easily find items and don’t risk losing them in the black hole at the back of the pantry. So much better!!!
I think putting the cereal boxes in a bin makes it hard to get in and out of the pantry. I feel like next time my kids would use the cereal, they wouldn't put it away if it took effort to take it out of said bin rather then just placing it in.
Our families biggest new thing is saying don't put it down put it away. We took a weekend no kiddos and set up new systems and we meet once a week to tweak those systems if we find an error like a really rough day we leave dishes so now we immediately put them in the dishwasher vs the sink.
Your pantry looks great!!! Organization needs to make sense to you and your space!!
Hi Christine! I made the cassoulet for July fourth. Amazing! So much flavor! Your simple recipes have deceptively complicated flavors.
Love the end result. You seem to like the clear boxes more. My guess (with children in and out of the pantry) is that this will need to be cleaned again in 2 weeks. xD If it was just you, maybe 2 months. xD
It looks good! I do like the new bins, maybe later on pick up a few more of the same ones, they fit your space perfectly.
Sometimes I get impractical during organization ..trying to do what worked for others and forgetting my family dynamics. Lol I love that you organized your pantry based on the number in family and still making it functional.
I need those bins! I organize my pantry often. It looks straight but nothing like yours. Question: where is your can goods??
YES!
I wanted to see if she had a secret about dates on cans (with no dates).
I was surprised that she had no canned spinach, canned corn, canned beans, canned soups, canned fruits, canned tomatoes, canned tomato sauce & paste, tuna, chicken, etc.🤯
Just finished organizing my food storage this weekend! Now I have an excel file with everything organized, such a nice feeling!
That dang pantry is like a 7th family member! 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
Where did you get the cute labels please? Thanks for being so real! 💕💕
Dollar tree!
@@FrugalFitMom thank you! U r an inspiration!
No use packing 8# into a 5# bin. Just asking to have it all over the pantry, again, because now having to dig thru a packed bin. And re-stuffing into bin. Maybe.
Those little folding shelves from Walmart are great aren't they? I have a basic frig, and one of those shelves fit into the freezer--doubled the space in there! Don't have to unpack whole freezer to get at something.
What folding shelves from Walmart? Do tell...😊
It turned out amazing!!! I just reorganized mine, such a satisfying feeling!!!
Can you do another extreme grocery budget challenge?? I loooove when you do them
How have I never thought of hanging up the lunch boxes?! 🤦 I've wasted an entire cupboard just for lunch boxes. Time to reorganize! Thanks for the inspiration!
Actually my children is doing great job putting stuff back it is my husband who does not LOL. Does anyone have a hack to train him how to put stuff back? LOL
Me too. The kids say ‘Dad, it doesn’t go there!’
My pantry items just collapsed into each other last week and now it looks like we just emptied the grocery bags directly on the shelf. 🤷♀️
3 weeks. Rightttt before the kids go back to school it’s going to get crazy 😂
Love those bins! Your pantry shelves didn't look deep enough for them to go vertically, then bam! They fit with room to spare. Pantry jelly!
Love it. This is how i store my things and when i bake i take the whole bin out so I don’t have to keep going to the pantry!
What a good idea! Ours are in two small cupboards, but maybe ones that need used up first could be in a basket in that cabinet.
Organizing your pantry it just feels amazing!
Hi Christine. I am struggling right now with serious health issues but your videos ALWAYS make me laugh. Thank you and God bless you.
The best thing to keep things organized in pantry/kitchen is everything has a container of some kind and those containers should hold what you normally buy not the half empty. It works. Also if you don't put it way properly you leave it on the counter.
Put the sweetener packets in a mason jar. I love using those for organizing.
Looks great and we think alike when it comes to organizing. Mine lasted about two months and I live alone. I have no excuse...😏😂❤️
Gums hurting is a alergy to aspartame!!!!!!!
Steph at The Secret Slob says "progress not perfection".
You know that you can make cookies out of cake mixes, right? Just so you know...😁
Thanks for the inspiration to sort my kitchen too I just replicated some or my larger less often used kitchen appliances and it made a big difference in my space too ..
Just a polite suggest when I lived in real old apartments with panties that were older and had yucky stained shelving I went to the dollar store and bought some rolls of matching contact paper and lined my shelves with it cheaper and easier than paint and no dry time .. plus some contact paper is so easy and has fun designs
Heard a notification on my phone so I walked over to check it. It was for this video. Hella weird since this is EXACTLY what I'm doing right this second.😲😲😲😲😲
I was watching with captions and ot started captioning the song. I had to go back and listen to see that it wasn’t Christine singing a long song to her food 🤣“We do this every day and I’m so amazed by you, so hold me tight”
If you put the bars into the bin vertically, you can fit all the bars into one bin. If you get a spare moment (and don’t want to pluck lint out of navel 😜😂😂😂 because who has time for that), you can put the smaller bins that you already have to micro-organize by separating your bars from Dave’s or the rest of the family. Hope that makes sense.
Love pantry videos! 🎉 Please post more on your other channel!
Totally get overwhelmed with ALL the things at once. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I then get frustrated and shove all back in wherever n shut the door.
What an awesome pantry cabinet!
My 3 year old helps me unload the dishwasher and groceries. Things end up in interesting places at my house too.
I can't judge her too much. I store canned tuna in the fridge so tuna salad is cold the moment it's made. 🙃
Why have I never thought of that 😅
I love using containers as a limit!
Youve inspired me to give some love to my pantry today 😍
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." highly recommend reading Atomic Habits
My bet is 3 weeks. That's usually how long it takes me to abandon my organization.
The pantry does look good
I love the layout if your pantry bcs you can see everything. Seems like nothing would get lost. You are organized, believe it or not🤣.❤️
I'm guessing it'll last 6 weeks really nice and then it'll be down Hill... 🤣😉 love from germany
Looks amazing! I watch Dawn too, she also has amazing ideas
I am a TOTAL unboxer... if that's a word. I can't stand boxes of stuff, I like individual items in a bin.
Just a thought. Perhaps you could do a low spend month, eating from your pantry and freezers and give weekly updates on how much you spend/save/what you cook. I am doing that this month and trying next. I figured I'd stock up in Sept, for the fall/winter. Did you do a garden this yr?
I'm watching this as I use my food saver (generic brand But BEST XMAS GIFT EVER! LOL) on meats I bought over the weekend. The bestie and I ran to Martin's and got a tin of markdowns! I think I'm turning into an hoarder of discount Naan! And havent even tried it yet! We were checking out and literally said "Christine would be so PROUD of us!" And giggled a lil too hard. Told her we are officially adults....in our 40s and 50s. Hehe.
You inspired me! I have been sick of looking at my mess of a pantry, and had come to the same conclusion that I needed clear containers to see what I had. My WM didn't have the bins, but I was able to order them. LOVE THOSE BINS! They are a game changer for me. I also decided not to pull everything out at once like I used to because it was so overwhelming. I cook a lot from scratch as well, and the cute little containers don't cut it at my house. I need functional, not frufru. THANK YOU BUNCHES!! You have saved my sanity here in Arkansas. Love your channel! ❤️
I put the Carnation Instant Breakfast with a little pouch of Bustelo instant espresso in a cup and use my Keurig to fill it with hot water. (I use my Keurig every day for hot water, but I never buy K-Cups). I add a good layer of canned whipped coconut milk (Aldi!) and stir it in. This is my everyday morning drink, and it's delicious. Don't pay full price for the Bustelo packets; they're a dollar for six pouches at Family Dollar. $6.99 for six at WalMart!
