While you don’t always need a container for your pantry, having some can totally help keep your pantry organized. But not all containers actually keep your food fresh. Some just end up taking up space in your pantry.
So I am sharing the best containers for organizing a pantry. These recommendations are from my own pantry, along with pantries of former clients and virtual clients. So you know they work!

Declutter The Pantry First
Before we even start adding anything to the pantry, you have to declutter what you currently have. That means removing food the family no longer eats.
Get an inventory of what foods are low so you can grab more when you go to the store. And group similar food items together, making it easy to grab and go.
I break down all my declutter pantry tips in this video.

Air-Tight Snack Containers
These containers are my favorite for storing snack items that typically come in a box or bag. I love them because I don’t have to worry about boxes ripping, bags spilling, or things getting stale.
Baking Storage
I have found that these baking containers help keep the flours fresh, which is why I love them!
Long, Open Container
I like using long, open containers to hold chips and other bigger items in our pantry. These freezer bin size containers are the best for long shelves.
Stackable Containers
Sometimes you just don’t have the space for lots of open containers, so these stacking containers are my favorite! You can easily get two on a normal size shelf. Plus you can see everything inside!
Narrow Storage
Some pantries don’t have the deep shelves. So these narrow storage containers are a great option for things that may need to be in a container.
Cereal Containers
I am a big fan of cereal containers because they help keep the cereal fresh. These containers hold an entire bag of cereal for our family!
Large Lazy Susan
Large Lazy Susans are perfect for deep corners in pantries. So I love these for holding things like condiments.
Small Lazy Susan
Storing spices on a smaller Lazy Susan is perfect in your pantry.
Shelf Risers
Cans and jars can fit perfectly on these shelf risers. Plus they are expandable!
