Decluttering Cupboards

Now in one of my previous post I talked about how I have been trying to simplify my life. There have been a  few pretty good ideas that I’ve come up with to find ways to reuse/recycle some of the things I have collected/horded over the years and use to make my life easier/simpler.
So here is one of my ideas. I LOVE coffee. Every now and then a thought fillers though my mind that maybe I should cut down a tad but life is sooo much better for every one if I have caffeine in my life. One of the by-products of my caffeine intake is my coffee jars, which have been sitting/pilling up in the bottom cupboard collecting dust.

My fantastic idea.

• Donate my plastic multi coloured and multi sized  containers to my classroom kitchen which has nothing and we throw out everything at the end of the lesson *gasp*
• Throw out any old/out of date products thus cleaning the pantry
• Use my empty coffee jars in a productive way.
• Rearrange shelves in a more productive way to help find things and make cooking quicker.

Here is the end product. (3 hours later)
When it  was finished the outcome was very good.  The glass jars make it easier to see what and how much I have. Furthermore it made filling out my shopping list easy-peasy. My plan is to review this after a month and see if it has made my life easier/simpler.  And if I does work then there is no shortage of jars as I empty a new one at least once a month.

I wonder what else I could do with my jars...
