lessee..if i shopped in your cupboard I would offer to trade the for box of Truvia and powdered PB for 4 cans of pumpkin, 2 of condensed milk, and a bag of red beans?
I tend to overbuy "good deals" on food..I did get 15 boxes of the Truvia at the outlet grocery that takes in end lots and pallets of stuff very cheap...and currently have 11 teeny 40 packet boxes of Stevia -Mocha flavor packets..but tearing into those little tiny packets, and the powder drifts into the air you breathe.. at least it is great in my coffee!

You've got a deal H2H I get my big box of Truvia at Sam's Wholesale Club to go along with the powdered peanut butter for my smoothies. But I just learned how to make pumpkin soup and the condensed milk is an ingredient too. The red beans would be for red beans and rice. If you go to www.myfridgefood.com You can put in an ingredient and wallah it gives you a recipe. This is my pantry before and now. I'm guessing you put the bulkier items in there. It doesn't look any better but I can see in there.

def6 do you follow the "get rid of spices after 6 months" rule? I simply never have, I know makeups have expiry dates too, but few women I know will toss $$ jars and tubes.
i DID have a can of elderly pineapple with the juices eating the the metal completely, and drizzle down the closet wall!!! same with a can of condensed milk (not the one I want to trade..so I wonder why the old standard of canned foods "last forever" turned to this..possibly cheaper methods of canning and materials used.

Thank you H2H for reminding me that some of my spices are older than my youngest daughter. They may have lost their savor. I will also make a note not to buy the big ones if I end up throwing away half. I actually found out yesterday that one of my cream of chicken soup cans blew up in the pantry. The progress is very slow today. I only have two of the cabinet shelves cleared, wiped and arranged(ish) There's mostly liquor in the upper cabinet ...so not much to deal with there. It is a hard category for me to declutter...holding a pantry item "does this spark joy" well no, it's bottle of Soy sauce.

I worked with the cabinets again last night. I managed to get 3 done and I have two more to go. I will try to quickly get done and then I'm gonna fall out!

Hurray I am done! It was a lot like pulling teeth but I can rest easy now. I cleaned out the remaining two cabinets. The clincher is I can see the contents of all the cabinets now. All likes are together. I will be taking this clean cabinet thing to a whole new level. I want to come back in a week (when I have healed from the trauma) to revisit this. But it is fine for now.

Great work! I'm so happy for you. I need to go through my pantry, but definitely not today. I have way too much to do already.

I deep cleaned the kitchen several months ago. I am avoiding this thread because it reminds me that it's almost time to do it again. Shhhhhhhhh!!!
