Here is my pantry in my natural state:
(Apparently below the pantry is where we keep squash and Kit Kats.)
Not showing you guys my fridge or freezer at this time!

Oh, I should say I have a higher shelf where we keep flours, white sugar, and white rice.

I currently have 15 pounds of flour and 25 pounds of sugar in my pantry. Apparently I’m going to bake?

Great time of year for it!

Could you do a numeric code, and then post a key on the side of the fridge near the bottles?
So 1. Oregano on the door, but just a 1. on the bottle?

If the door is open there’s quite often a cat in my pantry. 
I have one built around a chimney and another built above a stairway. They are both a bit odd, but still great space. Please ignore the fact that I eat like a college student. LOL

I knew there was a reason I always end up opening our cupboard and don’t find what I want. I want cat!

Oh, my gosh, this is so cool! I’m in.
But I finished all my steroids early this morning, so I’m way too tired and my cough is back (boo) so you will have to wait until morning, I think. I have a grocery pickup at 7 am anyway (that’ll be 4 am on the west coast).
I have a pantry, two shelves on a big utility shelf left behind by our former roommate (he’ll eventually come get all his shit once the end times are over), a couple of totes full of bulk goods, a big table above the totes with jars of dehydrated produce and canned cat food, a big American-sized side-by-side fridge you’re never, ever going to see the inside of (maybe the freezer, but the rest is a disaster), and a 15 cubic foot chest freezer. And a couple other random cabinets. Oh, and coffee and peanuts on a rolling cart that mostly holds the small appliances that don’t stay out all the time.
Okay, we have a lot of food in the house. Virtually no snacks, though. Fixing that tomorrow if ice cream counts as a snack.
Maybe showing it all to you guys will help me estimate how long-term our storage is. Like @Bracken_Joy, I am definitely in Club Rotate. I can’t recall the last time we had to throw something out, so I guess it’s working.
Pics to come later!

Are those rolly shelf drawer things?! Oooo.
Here’s my food storage. While looking, I found 6+ tubs of curry pastes that I bought 18 months ago and haven’t been able to eat between anxiety and pregnancy related palate changes 
most have gone off.

They really make life easier when you have a deep space.

There’s one tote I can’t move because it has about 75 pounds of flour, oats, and corn meal in it. Those things get to hang out in the deep freeze for several days to kill of any bugs before they go in long term storage. Still have to keep a very limited amount of preground whole wheat or it’ll go rancid.
ETA pic of the tote. Black bag is an open 50-pound bag of white flour, about 22-23 pounds left. Clear bag on the top is 20 pounds of pinto beans. White bag on the left is two 5-pound canisters of rolled oats.
More tomorrow. This is fun.

That’s a good idea - if we write it out large enough

The spice cabinet: spices on the bottom shelf; oils, vinegars and sauces in the middle; baking stuff and giant spices on the top.
The tea and chocolate cupboard: tea on the bottom shelf; chocolate, nuts, and dried fruit in the middle; more chocolate and nut products on top.
The bulk of my pantry staples are in a lazy susan cupboard, so there’s no way to take a photo of the whole thing. I technically also have a pantry closet, but it is mostly full of non-food.

This was a top up shop. Because I’m pretty sure Toddler PDM is a fruit bat. Corn chips because I needed them. Nectarines, peaches, mangos, strawberries, blueberries.

Definitely laughing about toddler fruit bats.

Parenting is weird…“no you can’t have more fruit - eat your chips*”

Tour of all the food spaces for us - we have a pantry, inside fridge/freezer, spices on the counter, and an upright freezer outside. Fridge is a bit more packed right now because we are in the “use of the very end of last grocery haul while starting to use the next haul”. We were shopping every 2ish weeks or so lately.
Pantry - hard to see with the deep shelves so installed baskets. Cardboard box has pasta. The bottom two bins have baking supplies and bagged things, like brown rice, quinoa, etc.
Inside fridge with bottom drawer freezer - these aren’t good quality so will try to replace when there is more natural light!
Counter spices
Outside freezer - top shelf had yeast, flour where the light is. This is where I keep my Aldi stock ups when they have seasonal items (i.e. this week’s 8 bags of frozen beets).
Counter veggies and random opened bags.
This is making me realize I need another pull out shelf for the pantry, and that I should probably trim down what we keep in storage…

I’m so jealous of everyone’s storage! Our place has very little kitchen storage so we’ve got a big open shelving unit for our bulk jars. I watched the home edit on Netflix and tried to organise the small pantry unsuccessfully. Fridge is looking kind of empty, tomorrow it will be full. I need to bake banana bread, judging by my freezer. Extra drawers for some extra supplies and tea drawer.

Here’s today’s haul - frozen food version. It’s laid out on our “santizing station” outside because I was bleaching it all, again. This is just the cold stuff; everything that can just sit in the back of the truck for a few days is doing that.
This makes me realize that we mostly restock junk food! I’ll need more produce next trip, but we’re doing a lot of frozen and canned, and we still have apples, carrots, and white and sweet potatoes.
ETA: Only two things that aren’t store brand, ha! and the DiGiorno is a substitution for the store brand I ordered. The corn dogs don’t have a store brand equivalent.
