At Home - Cleaning out the Pantry

Getting close to putting our house on the market, I am energized at the thought of getting very close to being finished with all the preparations.

My chore today is cleaning out the pantry. It's a nice roomy pantry that has gotten over-stocked. Joe isn't happy with just A bag of chips, he wants several kinds of chips. You get the picture! Let me show you - it is jam-packed as my Grandmother would say. I have items grouped, on twirlies, canned goods thingies, risers and so on but there is just too MUCH!

 

I prefer to stop at the market every couple of days, buying fresh fruit and veggies; maybe a bit of meat. Joe prefers stocking up for the long haul and the dreaded snack attack.

 

I have the bottom shelf emptied - three more to go. Checking expiration dates and maybe boxing some things that can go with us! Then I can put back the things we will be using over the next couple of weeks. Sigh! In the meantime, the washer and dryer are happily chugging along.

 

After 2.5 hours, I have gone through everything. Checking all expiration dates, organizing and wiping down the shelves. After six years, the shelves still look great. They won't need to be painted.

Closer -

Now, to sit down with a nice glass of iced tea and talk to Bella!
