1. Clear Stackable Airtight Containers for Pantry Essentials
Clear stackable airtight containers are an absolute must for pantry organization! They’re perfect for storing bulk pantry staples like rice, pasta, flour, and sugar. These containers maximize shelf space, are easy to label, and give you a clear view of what’s inside, helping you track what you’re running low on. Not to mention, they look stunning!
Pro Tip: Make sure to use airtight containers so items stay fresh, especially if you’re stocking up for holiday baking.

2. Lazy Susans for Easy Access
A Lazy Susan is an amazing product for pantry organization, especially if you’re tired of knocking over cans and jars trying to reach things in the back. With a simple spin, you can access every item without the chaos. They work perfectly for oils, condiments, and sauces, especially if you’re working with a corner pantry shelf or deep cabinet space.
Pro Tip: Use one for each category, like condiments or sauces, to make finding things a breeze.

3. Tiered Shelf Organizers to Make Everything Visible
Tiered shelf organizers are like stadium seating for your pantry items. By elevating each row, you can clearly see every item without rummaging through cans and jars. These are especially useful for canned goods, jars, and spices, so you can quickly scan what you have.
Pro Tip: Look for expandable shelf organizers that can fit your space and grow with your pantry needs!
4. Pantry Bins for Simple Grouping
If there’s one pantry organization product that’s essential, it’s a set of pantry bins. These bins are fantastic for grouping similar items, like snacks, breakfast bars, baking supplies, dried pasta, bread, or chips. You name it! The bins keep all your items accessible and looking tidy.
The big question in pantry organization you must ask yourself is: are you on Team Clear or Team Solid for bins? Clear bins make it easy to see all your items at once, while solid bins offer a more aesthetic and tidy appearance. Decisions, decisions…
Pro Tip: Add labels to bins for an extra touch of pantry perfection.
5. Drawer Organizer Bins for Organizing Small Items
Drawer organizer bins aren’t just for drawers. Placed inside the pantry bins, they’re perfect for organizing snack bars, seasoning packets, and other smaller items. The drawer organizer bins let you make customized sections in any pull-out drawer or bin, giving those smaller items a designated place.
6. Label, Label, Label
Labeling is key to staying organized over the long term. Labels aren’t just practical—they also make your pantry look polished and Instagram-worthy! There are multiple options when it comes to using labels.
Create and print your own labels using a label maker or Cricut.

Pro Tip: Worried about staying up to date with changing food items? Chalk labels can be wiped clean and reused, making them perfect for frequently changing pantry items.
7. Over-the-Door Pantry Organizer for Extra Storage
An over-the-door pantry organizer is one of the easiest ways to add more storage without sacrificing shelf space. Hang one on the back of the pantry door for extra storage for items like spices, sauces, snacks, or bags.
Pro Tip: Put frequently used items in your over-the-door organizer so you have easy access to essentials without rummaging through deeper shelves.
8. Dry Erase Board or Notepad for Tracking Pantry Inventory
This is a pro organizer’s best-kept secret! Use a small dry erase board or notepad to keep track of what’s needed for next week’s grocery list. Hang it on the inside of your pantry door to quickly jot down items you’re running low on or need for holiday recipes. It makes grocery shopping easier and prevents you from buying items you already have.
