I have two Lazy Susans that need organizing. Another Someday syndrome or Round to it! Have been wanting to move all my food storage containers/lids over to the one lazy susan so I can have more room for my kitchen towels, dish cloths,etc. Have been procrastinating because it is so hard to get down and get up. Might have to recruit one of the Granddaughters to do it for me. But the Dollar baskets you show gives me some new ideas. Thanks!

Here’s a few links where you can check the shelf-life of your spices. They may need to be thrown out:

I came up with a clever idea for storing spices. I have one of those smallish 3 drawer plastic things, my spices fit perfectly (lay them on side instead of standing up). My spices aren’t in any fancy jars - just the ones they come in at the store. Its nice to have them concealed.

I cleaned out the pantry this past weekend and purged the 13 cup rice cooker, the smores maker, 2 cake stands and a bunch of food that we don’t have any intention of eating (donations!). Feels so good to have a clean pantry.

I wish I could say I have a bigger pile of goodies to cook with but I can’t. I like to snack on chocolate chips, nuts and raisons when there is nothing else in the house. Good job on paring down your measuring cups.I know I like about 4 one cup measuring cups as I use that one so much. So I keep extra of my favorite sizes and I too keep them in a basket so I can pull it out and see the size I need easily. Some of mine are 30 year old tupperwear and it is hard to see the size sometimes so I used a black sharpie to put the size on the bottom. Works like a charm. Has anyone used those collapsible cups? I have wondered how they work.

I have to hide my chocolate chips otherwise the kids will eat them. I usually have a hard time finding them when I DO need the though! lol

For my birthday my friend who always gives the best kitchen gadgets as gifts gave me a set of silcon collapsible measuring cups - they hardly take up any space at all. Not sure if there is a 2/3 cup though - I’ll have to check.
