One of the *many* resolutions I have made this year, one is to be more organized! Wes is so awesome and is helping me organize our kitchen and built me a spice rack in our cabinets. I love it – I can see all of the spices, which hopefully stop me from buying the same spice several times. Like, how many containers of rubbed sage does a girl need? Apparently 4!
For Christmas, Wes built me shelves in the closet that is under our stairs. When we bought this home 3 years ago and my dream was to have a pantry – but no such luck. I had dreamed of converting the closest into my “morman pantry”. My friends and family call it this because I buy for a family of 10, but there is only the two of us! LOL While moving items into the new pantry – can you believe I found 6 bottles of Ketchup (Heinz of course!). Oh my gosh, I think it is safe to say that we will be good for several months if there was ever a food shortage! LOL.
Actually, buying for a “stock pile” is how I save a bunch of money on our grocery bill. I shop only when the items are on sale and use coupons of course! The idea is to stockpile when it is on sale, so when you need it – you don’t have to run out and buy the item for full price. I will share with you many of my bargain hunting *secrets* later!
I have to get back to cleaning up the mess that this organization project has caused! Enjoy the pics….
