This was NOT what I planned to do today. It all started with this:
Maybe you don't see it at first.
My pantry is always overflowing with food. It's a quality I inherited from my father but I practice greater restraint. Not shopping at Costco for a family of two is a great help in this matter. This pictured shelf is completely devoted to chips, crackers & snacks. Yes, I've given this department an entire shelf that is 12" deep & 40" long. So what you'll see if you look again is empty SPACE! Since I have stopped buying chips and crackers suddenly there is valuable new room in what I would consider prime retail space. You see this shelf is right at waist height for easy viewing and grabbing.
So I had the brilliant idea to make this my new protein shelf. The cans of beans on the opposite side were stacked pretty high. Then it kind of snowballed. Every item in there got removed, shelves were wiped and expired items were pitched. I'm not sure why, but I can't seem to complete this sort of project without some crazy obsessive need to roughly alphabetize my beans and all the other canned vegetables. Somehow after getting rid of stuff, I still had trouble getting everything back into the original space.
However quite awhile later when I finished, I had this:
The chips are now located in the hardest area to reach - at the top shelf in the back corner.
If you're going to snack with a less than ideal choice....from now on at least you'll also get a good stretch.
