7 easy ways to organize snack cabinets and pantries!
Do you have to close your eyes and brace yourself when you open up your snack cabinets or pantry door? Does stuff come flyin’ outta there and poke you in the eye? Shew! Glad I’m not the only one. Living in an old farmhouse, you’d think I had plenty of cabinet space, but I don’t. I don’t even have a flippin’ pantry. If I had a pantry, I’d live in it. You wouldn’t be able to drag me out of it!
Sooo, upon perusing Pinterest and Amazon I found some really cool ideas. Some that I think are life-altering genius. The other night, I literally pulled everything out of my cabinets and started a “pitch” fit. I think I filled 2 whole trash bags of stuff to dump and/or donate. It was like 9:15ish or so at night. The husband comes into the kitchen as I’m wollering this stuff all over the kitchen floor – and he just turns and walks out the door. I would have turned and walked out if I were him too!! I always start these projects late at night. Why?! I don’t know.
1. Toss the boxes and the bags. I Heart Organizing shows us how she created more space in her cabinets with this method. There are several other awesome reasons to do this, including portion control!
2. Use shoe organizers. I loved this idea from Money Saving Queen! Perfect for pantries and cabinet doors. In the comments on her post, I saw a reader mentioned that if you can find a shoe organizer with space in the rows between the pockets, you can easily cut them and attach on the inside of cabinet doors so that when the door is shut, the pockets with stuff inside doesn’t bump up against the shelves, for a perfect fit.
3. Use open front stackable bins. Find out how A Proverb’s Wife got hers from the Dollar Store. This is such a space saving idea and I love how clean it keeps the cabinets. It also forces you to do tip #1 (toss boxes and bags!). Woot.
4. Use all the space in your cabinets wisely! Do you have a lot of empty air space at the top of your cabinets? Use metal or plastic cabinet shelves to create more space to store things above and under. When I realized this, I almost felt stupid for not thinking about it before.
5. Canisters. These are a great alternative to bins for many reasons. They’re pretty to look at and it’s easy to see what’s inside. You can consolidate lots of similar things in canisters for instance oatmeal packets, granola bars, fruit snacks. Individual bags of chips, crackers, cookies, etc. I found these clear glass canisters on Amazon but you can also find some at your local dollar stores or Walmart.
6. Label, label, label. These chalkboard labels are realllly cute! They’re great to label bins and canisters which is super helpful when you’re ready to organize snack cabinets and pantries. I love being able to see things quickly and clearly!
7. Hanging chip clips! These are GENIUS! Keeps chips fresh yes, but the genius part is that you can hang these in your pantry, leaving space on shelves for other things. The only hanging ones I’ve seen are these Rubbermaid chip clips from Amazon.

I so love an organized kitchen – it’s funny I just gave my son things from our pantry – like a big bag of pancake mix that we just are using! And, he loved it – he’s going to give some to his friends also – feels great to have more space – 🙂 I certainly can identify 🙂
These are great ideas. Our kitchen is a mess and these will come in very handy!
LOL! And here I thought I was the only crazy one that ziplocked everything in my pantry! I enjoyed your post very much. It’s great to know there are neat freak Moms like me out there 🙂 (and I can let my hubby know of that too!).
OMG I just moved yesterday and using some of these tips! My kitchen is HUGE do you hear me! But there is nooo cabinet, drawer, or other storage space. Thanks so much!
Hanging chips is an amazing idea! I wish our pantry had a couple shelves like that so I could do it.
These are such creative ways to organize! I absolutely love how the canisters look! They’re soo cute!
Oh, I really needed to see this. My pantry is all kinds of crazy right now! I think that door organizer idea is about to save my life (you know, from something falling off a shelf and hitting me in the head).
I value the knowledge on your web sites. Appreciate it.

These are some awesome ideas for organizing your snack cabinets and pantries. I love the shoe organizer idea along with the chip clip one also. They are so easy and convenient ways to organize. Thanks for sharing.
These are all great ideas! I am going through an organizing rampage in my house, and now own three shoe organizers! Of course none of them hold shoes 😉
I love using shoe organizers for organizing. They’re so handy for just about everything.
Love all the ideas. I did the canisters thing. Everything was just easy to find since I labeled them.
These are great ideas for keeping your cupboards organized. I will definitely be trying a few of these.
I’m in an old farmhouse too so I don’t have a pantry. I did get some shoe organizers from my mom for Christmas because she was tired of tripping on the shoes by the back door when she came over. LOL. I have no where to put them. But, now I am wondering if I can find a place to organize my kitchen a little better and create some usable space.
Awesome tips! Thank you so much for sharing. I could really use more free space in my cabinets!
Chips take up so much room. I love the hanging chip clip idea!

Omg these are such great tips! I’m a pretty organized person already but can always use more advice 😉

I definitely need to do some reorganizing in my kitchen. I do not have a pantry either. We did however get a tall cabinet with doors that close and shelves inside that we use in our kitchen as a pantry. I use it for our cereal, extra condiments, pastas, baby food, and the older kids’ snacks. It needs a serious overhaul though. Love a lot of these ideas. And they are easy to do.
Hey Rebecca! I totally need more space. I’ve been looking for something like you mentioned, some sort of stand alone cabinet to hold either more food OR pots/pans, etc. I wish I had an actual pantry!!!
