<h1>Pantry Organization</h1>
<p>This playbook describes a methodical approach to arranging a pantry. The process ensures that food items are visible, easily accessible, and stored in an orderly fashion.</p>

<h3>Step 1: Empty Pantry</h3>
<p>Remove all items from your pantry, placing them on a large surface such as a dining table or countertop. This will give you a clear view of the space and allow you to clean and assess what you have.</p>

<h3>Step 2: Clean Shelves</h3>
<p>With the pantry emptied, thoroughly clean all the shelves, walls, and floor. Wipe down with a damp cloth and mild cleaner, then dry with a clean towel or let air dry.</p>

<h3>Step 3: Sort Items</h3>
<p>Categorize all the items you’ve removed into groups such as baking supplies, canned goods, snacks, etc. Check for expired items and dispose of them, and make a note of items you need to restock.</p>

<h3>Step 4: Plan Layout</h3>
<p>Consider the frequency of use and group related items together when planning the layout of your pantry. Decide on a configuration that places frequently used items at eye level and within easy reach.</p>

<h3>Step 5: Containerize</h3>
<p>Use clear containers, baskets, or bins to store categorized items. This helps to keep items visible and contained, making it easier to maintain organization. Label the containers for quick identification.</p>

<h3>Step 6: Restock Pantry</h3>
<p>Place all items back into the pantry according to the layout plan you've created. Ensure everything is visible and accessible, with heavier items on lower shelves if possible.</p>

<h3>Step 7: Maintain Order</h3>
<p>Make a habit of returning items to their designated spots after use. Regularly review and reorganize the pantry to keep it tidy and to prevent clutter from accumulating.</p>

<h2>General Notes</h2>

<h3>Labeling Tip</h3>
<p>Using a label maker or chalkboard labels can make the identification of items easier and more aesthetically pleasing.</p>

<h3>Restock Note</h3>
<p>When restocking items, place newer items towards the back and older items up front to help with rotation and prevent food from expiring.</p>

<h3>Measurement</h3>
<p>Before purchasing containers, measure the shelves’ width and depth to ensure the containers will fit properly.</p>
