Last night we cleaned out the cupboard. It had become very disorganzied, and it bugged me.
I started with a bankers box that Brooke had brought me (generously filled with food). The food went into the cupboard and the empty box serve as the collection box for the food bank.
We have an amazing amount of soup! And pasta/rice. I moved the cereal down from the top shelf (I have a hard time reaching it), and put the extra condiments up there, since we don't use them as frequently. All of the tomato products are on one shelf together, along the broth and other making "stuff". I tried to group everything together and make it easier to find.
I didn't take any before pics (Trust me- it's pretty embarrassing!), but here are some afters. Our stockpile is on the bare side. We haven't been on a major shopping trip in a couple month. I usually go to the store once a week for milk and veggies, and I cruise the markdown meat section and pick up roasts and ground beef. I buy chicken breasts and cheese at Costco once a month or so.

Th first three photos are the inside of my newly re-organized cupboard, the 4 photo is the box of food that will be donated to the food bank. The last photo is my awesomely stocked freezer. Most of the frozen food came from 99 cents only!
Now my cupboard and freezer are a lot more organized, which will help me plan the menu for this week and next.
