Alright, so you know how we do around these parts
0:13
We're gonna do it before and after. Gotta do it that way
0:18
So boom, got only two shelves in that one. Then down here is really where it gets crazy and it all goes downhill
0:28
Spotter is looking for a snack. This one has three shelves, but I added that in
0:34
Less talking, let's tackle this. So I got my handy dandy stool
0:38
and this will go a long way, but we're gonna actually start down
0:43
and then go up from there. We're gonna take everything out. Let's do that
0:47
So these are all the, what do they call these? Oil, special oil
0:58
So this is everything that I got from the first lower shells and there's definitely some expired products here, believe it or not
1:23
I've had that milk for years and it's expired because last time I try to make some milk with that it was disgusting so I know it is the
1:33
powder milk but I should have thrown away but I didn't don't know why so I got
1:38
to get rid of that but that's the step now that we do we kind of just look
1:42
over things and check them out if you saw me looking at the Lipton I just
1:47
want to see there was bugs inside because sometimes you don't look close
1:51
enough okay so look close enough at your food canned foods you a worms can get in
1:58
anywhere okay even if you have the tightest space so check that out
3:56
As you can see, another method that I'd like to do
4:07
to find out whether or not something's good or not, is I like to taste it
4:26
If you're in the pantry, you might as well eat something. Okay, so a lot of things were stale
4:31
Even things that weren't open. For example, I had a couple of cheese hits that were never opened
4:35
And, I mean, who likes cheeses anyway? Okay, so I just threw it away because I opened the bag and it was stale
4:43
And a lot of things at the bottom, like I said, my condensed milk was also expired
4:47
I don't know why I kept that for so long, but just try things. And all this time
5:29
And all this is I like a love And all this is
5:41
And all this time And all this I like a love
6:26
And all this And all this time And all this
6:36
I like it out And all this And all this time
6:49
And all this So as you can see, it really didn't take a lot of time to clean the pantry
7:37
All it takes is just a little bit of love, maybe an hour or two, depending on the size of your family, and you can get this done
7:44
So the next thing that I wanted to organize was the spices in this drawer right here, so it's going to be fun
7:50
And it's safe fun because it's not going to be fun at all. Do you see how many spices I have
7:55
and something that you will see every time I redo my spice rack is I like to show the spices
8:03
I don't know some people find that interesting so that's why I always like to show it but if you
8:06
don't care it's cool sorry the footage is not the best over here because it's hard for me to show
8:12
this angle because the fridge is kind of blocking where I could put the camera and yes I need
8:17
a pillow to stand up on that thing because my knees listen I'm not young anymore my knees
8:22
needs support. And that pillow, listen, if you ever have to do that, get a pillow. No shame, okay
11:29
I was listening to that had me jamming like that. But honestly, the key to cleaning, especially when you need to be motivated, you don't really want to, but you know it has to get done because it's dirty in there
11:41
You wouldn't want your guests to open up your spice rack and say something, even though that's highly unlikely, but you know how my brain works
11:48
Okay, that's how my brain works. So the way that I like to organize this is I kind of broke it down into piles, the spices, my main spices
11:56
I break them down into piles of what are some spices that I use on? on a day to day basis, you know, salt, pepper
12:02
and then one of the main spices that I use for cooking, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder
12:07
you know, those kind of spices, and then the other miscellaneous spices
12:11
and then the less likely to use spices and so on and so forth, that's how I organize and put them in the right place
12:18
The ones that are in the back, as you can tell, are the ones that I less likely grab to
12:24
than the ones in the front are the ones that I use a lot. And the ones at the top
12:29
I like to put bigger things up there and the oils and such. As you see, Pam is up there
12:34
It was it called chicken Muyan and all the other Muyan family members are up there and my little coffee bar area is up there too
12:42
So just the bigger things because it would not fit in my spice rack area
