I am impressed with the alpha order. I’m still organizing (not so) intuitively.

Loving this. I’m down for spice sharing. I organize by type/palette basically.
I’ll do my pantry another time, but right now WreckABub (her official nickname) is awake and will pull stuff out of the bottom if I open it 
Eta that MASSIVE quart jar is for homemade taco seasoning we eat a lot of taco spiced items…

Also I just meal prepped yesterday and there is currently no room in our fridge. This is a 2 person household and a giant American fridge

Don’t be too impressed - I’m one of those people who has to softly recite the alphabet each time I need to reorganize or find anything, so that’s the musical accompaniment to my cooking
@Bracken_Joy I tried organizing by palette, but I use things like cumin in like literally anything savory and so I gave up haha

We are a small household so we go through bananas slowly so we put them in the fridge As it preserves them longer. They actually get frozen because we exclusively use them in smoothies and banana bread
Peanut butter: natural peanut butter separates and if you put it in the fridge after stirring it takes longer to separate.
Also not much other storage
This is all our food storage not under couch

This is very valuable info. As I’m sure you noticed, we have the same PB. From same source I’m sure 
We just buy the pre overripe bananas from our local store now. It’s great.

I love that you can see everything. Mine are on a leveled rack and I have to touch all of them before I find the right one!

It’s more like, all chili powders, cumin, etc are on left side. Herbs are upper center. Pie spices/fall flavors are upper right. Etc. Husband and I grab without looking now we’ve done it this way long enough. And the spicy shelf we have means I don’t have to move anything (hallelujah) to get to them all.
More angles:
The unlabeled big one in the upper right is cinnamon. The back right is nooch.

Yea it is mainly because we have nowhere else to put them than that drawer but I will take it! Only issue is chili powder which we go through too fast and have to buy too big, so it can’t fit

Digging that shelf.

It was a total game changer for me. It’s an as seen on TV product, but super adjustable and we’ve moved it twice and it’s still in great shape. Like $20. We’ve had it 4 or 5 years now? LOVE IT. We just got it on Amazon, not sure where else it’s available.

Awesome, thanks! I’ll be on the lookout for something similar
We put peanut butter in the fridge because the oil goes rancid otherwise. Also the separating slower thing.
“JIF” sugar peanut butter stays in the pantry.

I think we just go through it so fast? Never had it get rancid flavors and I’m definitely on the high end of “tiny off flavor, refuse to eat it”

I had this grand idea a few weeks ago to move my spices to an underused but convenient drawer so I could see them all. But standard McCormick’s jars are 1/4" too tall for my drawer. I was so disappointed. Still trying to figure out how I can make something work because my spice cabinet is out of control.

Too scared to show my hectic pantry right now!
