I alphabetized my spices, which has helped greatly (and I realized I had 3 containers of rosemary) and I've even kept it up for the past 6 months!!! I second the shoe organizer tip.

I put my packets in the pockets (chili mix, etc). This way I can do a visual check for dinner ideas and shopping items. I got mine for $5 at a dollar store.

I put most of it into two boxes for one week, and then after just pulling out one thing it went out of the house for good. Yuppee I feel good. As a time saving effort I for the first time in many years bought paper towels and waxpaper and tinfoil and some zip lock bags. These purchases should make life easier. No guilt in throwing out a container without washing it and finding room for it.

Try any color that you like or that left over paint that we all have in the garage, put that to good use , then throw away the can (one less messy). Also go out and buy inexpensive floor tiles (peel and stick) to put on the botom of your shelf. Makes it much easier to keep clean. Try to coordinate the paint to the tile or the other way around. This works great on all the other cabinets in your kitchen. My hints are that after you take everything out of your pantry and wipe well , is that you paint the back wall of your pantry.
