Organize
Your Leftover Containers in Four Easy Steps!
It
was time to organize my leftover containers that are kept
in a kitchen cupboard on a slide out shelf. I didn't realize
how long it had been since the last time I did this until
I got to the bottom of the shelf and found things I'm
ashamed to tell. I will tell you that there were containers
I had forgotten I had because they were buried so deep.
How could this be useful?! Really, the only use it had
was to barely store my leftover containers; 'barely' meaning
each time I'd open the door, something would fall out.
I had to ask myself 'why would I need 250 containers?!'
Just joking, it wasn't that much, but it was too much.
Here's how I got this cupboard in shape in four easy steps:
1. I took everything out of the cupboard. This is a cupboard
close to the floor so I sat on the floor and took them
out and set them around me on the (clean) floor. When
the shelf was cleared out, I vacuumed it and wiped it
off.
2. From the lids and containers on the floor, anything
I didn't use or want anymore either went into the trash
or into a bag to be donated to the Goodwill depending
on if it was still useful or not.
3. With what was left, I matched containers with lids.
Each container I found that still had a lid (don't ask
me where the others went!), I'd set back into the cupboard
and each lid went into a square plastic organizer to hold
them; this way the lids would still be in with the containers,
but not all scattered around. I stacked the containers
according to their size and shape.
4. I threw away the remaining disposable lids and containers
(yogurt, sour cream, margarine, etc.) that didn't have
a match and donated any good, no match lids or containers
to the Goodwill; I'm sure they'll find a match for them.
Complete in four easy steps! Now when I open that cupboard,
the containers don't come falling out and I can easily
find the container I need. It is a great feeling to have
them organized (for a change).
