Are you as good about cleaning them out as you are about cleaning the refrigerator? I like to think I am a little better at this. I just tossed a bunch of stuff from them, too.
-
No, I am not nearly as good at the cabinets as the refrigerator. But every once in a while I do go through the pantry and the medicine cabinets and clear out anything with an expired date. Luckily there were only a few things that had to go. When I know that use by dates are coming up on items, I try to incorporate them in meals, or donate to our church food kitchen.

you should do that every year at least :bootyshake:

my shelves aren't ever full enough to have to
deep clean them out, lol. we use what we buy
and when that's gone, we go grocery shopping!
i do reorganize the kitchen cabinets every now
and then, though.

You're supposed to clean out your kitchen shelves? I don't know, sounds like it may disturb some of the animals that I think are living back there.

;D good one!

I try to keep them dusted just in case the cat decides to snoop around in there.

I'm okay at the shelves, mostly because I end up moving things around otherwise. Only problem is that I found some jello and have no idea what to do with it since we don't like jello!
-
Sometimes I reorganize the shelves or wipe them off if something spills. I guess I should probably look for expiration dates once in awhile to. This usually happens if I am going to donate something during the food drives and then I find out it is expired so I throw it out.
-
I am a super coupon freak. I have many shelves....when I need more...I do not clean out....I make more shelves...LOL! However---I do(quarterly) remove stock from the shelves and give to charity or a friend in need.
-
sometimes; there some things that I might still use or need, whereas there are economical reasons, such as not to waste. I think it is easy to clean out shelves.
-
We clean the shelves in the spring and fall. I put the date on the cans and boxes as I add them to the shelf.
-
I am terrible at cleaning out our pantry. I found stuff just last week that had to have been there since we moved in last summer and completely forgot about. Wouldn't you know that as soon as I threw out some old crackers, my husband asked if we had any. As for the refrigerator, I just clean out stuff as it goes bad.
-
I usually get in cleaning moods and I can't wait until my next one comes!!! I'm doing my kitchen also and it needs a ton of work done!!
-
I do keep a general tally of certain items shelved in the cabinets, but there are items that do stay there far longer than they should be to the point where I just have to throw them out. I'm actually pretty diligent on other functions within the household, but maintaining my pantry is something I could be better at.
-
I know mine could use it.
-
Usually I'm pretty good about keeping the food stocks rotating adequately. I try my best to use up everything I have before going shopping, which forces me to be a bit creative when I start running low. The shelves I tend to neglect more often are my cleaning supply cabinets. I know there are some cleaning supplies that become less effective over durations of time, and some of the items I have I barely use and sometimes the canister gets corroded due to the chemicals inside if it sits for too long. Those I should probably get cleaned up annually - particularly if it's something I haven't used in a few years or if the package has become compromised.
-
Well I am a little better about it than I use to be ... Hubby is very picky about a clean fridge so I try to keep it very neat and tidy ... along with everything else in the house. My closets could sure use some attention though .... I got one down and 4 to go ::)
-
I'm really not that good at either.But we had already cleaned out cabinets awhile ago.Kept what we would use and tossed the rest.Nothing stays in my fridge long enough to get thrown out.
-
I'm usually better at keeping the fridge clean rather than the cabinets. Our pantry is fairly deep and has a lot of items in it, and sometimes things just get forgotten in the back. I try to check for old items a few times a year, though.
