I am looking forward to reading this whole thread. We emptied our pantry (and most of the kitchen) prior to a minor construction process, and while we moved every kitchen thing back in, we got delayed on the pantry, and it never got the reorganization I'd wanted. Fortunately, it is still more empty than full -- I can still do the reorganization if I get to it.
I have to be alert for those little moths and, at certain times of year, ants. I've heard that good jars with rubber gaskets are the way to go.
Looking forward to getting some good ideas here, and working on the pantry this coming weekend.

Hi nifty! I actually purchased a couple of sets of canning jars, I no longer feel like any kind of plastic is safe! I love the jars, I just wish they were square instead of round, they would take up less space that way.
I did pretty good this week with not purchasing much, although I was given a couple more things--2 loaves of bread from my sister, which went into the freezer, and about a quarter of a jar of spaghetti sauce. I've already eaten the sauce.
My goal this week is to eat up all the fresh produce I have in the fridge now before it goes bad.

I rarely have any bugs in my house. I wonder if that's because it's so cold for several months in a row up here? Arid, I don't think dtesposito Diane will be using any sausage or ham as she does not eat meat. Went to Aldi's today. Spent only $35 for 3 big bags of groceries! It's farther away, but I'm going to switch from my usual store to Aldi's because the prices are lower. I didn't buy any produce because I already have lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, a cucumber, bananas, a grapefruit, apples, strawberries, and grapes. I had a craving for apple juice so I bought a large bottle for only $1.49. Also bought garbanzo beans, which I will add to my salads.
