Keep canned food in order and easy to reach with these simple organization ideas.
Canned goods are a pantry staple that makes dinner prep easier (even on busy weeknights).
Storing them in a reach-in orwalk-in pantry, within kitchen cabinets, or inside drawers are all ideal locations.

Even the ones stuck in the back will be in full view on a tiered riser.
However, a small turntable can only hold a handful of cans at a time.
Line up cans in neat rows inside a drawer by punch in.

Place those with the soonest expiration date toward the front.
Using a durable metal rack with baskets, install it utilizing the height from floor to ceiling.
Arrange the cans in the baskets, grouping them by punch in.

This makes for quick access without sacrificing any shelf or drawer space.
This also keeps them behind closed doors, eliminating visual clutter while staying cool and dry.
These organizers usually come with three levels that are customizable to the size of the cans.
Keep canned goods categorized by row so you know when youre running out of a particular product.
Use bins to keep categories separate and specific.
Add labels to each bin, then simply reach in whenever you need something.
What I like about this method is that by containing the cans, you prevent yourself from overdoing it.
