Pantry Organizing Under $6 Dollars!

YES $6 DOLLARS!!


              
I feel like for the most part I am an organized junkie....but every time I walked into my pantry {only 20 times daily} I was constantly thinking, what can I do??? My pantry looks like a hot unorganized mess. I had boxes with only one pop tart in it, one large box with just a single fruit roll up...things in the back that I know my children would love, but the way everything was positioned nobody could see them. So you may ask how? How do I get everything visible so I'm not wasting money on uneaten, now bad food, or how do I get rid of one item-ed boxes?

It's all in this five dollar purchase at Wal-Mart, {I'm sure this is something you could pick up anywhere, Target, Ross, etc.}  It's an over the door shoe rack.

 

 As you can see there are 4 vertical rows.... all sewn together.....Buying this I had no idea if it was going to work but; as soon as i got home I walked through the door opened my shoe rack and boom, i knew right away it was perfect. The very middle seem i could cut right up to make basically, two shoe racks. After this I hung one on both sides of my pantry like the picture below. I chose to hang mine with screws but I'm sure there are hooks you can buy for a less permanent look. But i can assure my shoe racks will be up forever.
  
you can put oatmeal, pop tarts, popcorn, straws, etc. i even started getting rid of cracker boxes and putting prepackaged crackers in it.

Do you happen to see why I love this organizing rack, cause look you cant see them??? I have a glass pantry door and this is amazing!!

Two other side tips:

1. Lace your pantry shelves with this wonderful liner...I happen to have fallen in love with the damask look but there are so many to chose from! I got this liner at Target for $7 dollars!
2. See those glass jars that have Oreo's and gold fish in them? $4.95 at Wal-Mart I'm a little obsessed with them right now. I buy two every time i go there I now have them for my sugars, coffee, and other snacks.
