I sort the pantry and all my cupboards every six months, just a habit from being an expat and not having much stuff

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 2 points 3 hours ago

My pantry is mostly pretty good, there's just a few areas that got a bit out of control, especially the spices. I had a bit much clutter and ended up with bits spread everywhere, then I'd buy more of things because I couldn't find them. And then of course I moved house which just compounded the chaos.

I've got a spot cleared now to store all the bulk stuff (I mostly buy whole spices and grind my own). There are a few things in there I don't really use to get rid of, and most of the older packets are pretty much empty.
