Once you get your hands on these organization products, you’ll *always* know what’s in your pantry.

1. A set of airtight food storage containers *with* labels so you can toss all those bulky boxes in the trash and make your future self very happy. You’ll save space in the kitchen and probably open your pantry simply to admire the organization.Promising review: “I ordered a few different sets from this company and all seem really airtight so far. I like how they stack and am loving the label options. My pantry is looking really organized. Yay!” —Jackie

Get them from Amazon for $19.99 (available in three colors).

2. Plus, some reusable label stickers that’ll take your organization obsession to the next level. You’ll never have to guess what’s what when rummaging in the pantry for a snack.

You can use a permanent marker to write on these labels. The included eraser (or regular rubbing alcohol) will remove it when you’re ready to reuse it for something else!

Promising review: “Great, sticks well to our plastic containers, and they haven’t come off in the dishwasher yet even on the bottom rack. They make my fridge so neat and easy to find everything.” —The Brown Family

Get a two-pack of 70 labels from Amazon for $14.99+ (also available in packs of three or four).

3. A set of TikTok-famous adjustable mug organizers to safely stack mugs on top of each other without them crashing down on you. Take advantage of that vertical space so you have more room on the shelves!

Elypro is a small business in New York City making clever organization products for the home. 

Promising review: “These mug organizers work really well. I just ordered my third set. I’ve been using them for about five months and the cups sit on them nicely. I like that you can change the size so if you have some mugs which are bigger/smaller than others, the organizers work for them as well.” —Amazon Customer

Get a set of six (to organize 12 mugs) from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 

4. And some shelf organizers because sometimes the best way to maximize your *very* limited pantry space is to store things vertically. 

Promising review: “EXACTLY what we were looking for. Oak color blends right into [the] interior of cabinets and white supports match our dishes. Going to, for sure, buy more for every cabinet in the house. Instantly gained twice the storage. No longer have to pick up a stack of dishes to grab a tray, etc. Bargain as well. Looks way better and supports so much more than old wire shelves… Solid wood/metal. Easy to install each shelf with nothing but the four screws included and a Phillips head screwdriver. Had all four “built” in less than five minutes. 100% recommend! —Rebecca Lynn

Get a set of four from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in two sizes and six colors; also available as a set of two). 

5. A brilliantly sneaky hidden spice shelf attachment when you’re fresh outta counter space but still need a way to store some spices, dammit. Install it under a kitchen shelf and pull it out whenever you’re cooking.

Amazon

Psst — some reviewers also use this for easy access to pill bottles! 

Promising review: “I am very happy with this purchase. It couldn’t have been any easier to install. I am looking forward to being able to gain more space inside my cabinets once I fully get my spices transferred into these (I bought two).” —SA Thompson 

Get it from Amazon for $16.99. 

6. A two-tier slide-out storage basket with dividers so you can finally declutter the mountain of snacks in your pantry! Many reviewers also use these to organize the cabinets under the sink.

Promising review: “These were a great solution to items getting shoved to the back of my pantry and expiring because they were inaccessible. It’s easy to rotate new items in because the baskets are reversible. Easy to assemble. I ended up ordering 6 of these and love them. Recommended!” —Karla Freeman

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three colors and in packs of two or four).

7. A set of under-shelf baskets for turning every bit of available space into storage. These will add a bit of extra storage for all those odds and ends that need to be organized.Just slide it on your shelf — the installation’s that simple!

Promising review: “These are excellent quality, sturdy, and well-made. I appreciate that when slid in place, the front of the basket lines up flush with the edge of the shelf (some lesser brands protrude a bit beyond the shelf, making it impossible to close the cupboard properly). Look no further — these are the best deal you’ll find.” —peggydf

Get a pack of four from Amazon for $38.99 (also available in black and in larger sets).

8. A hanging spice rack because you didn’t sign up to go on a scavenger hunt whenever you need some spice! Use ’em on the wall inside the pantry or on the door — either way, your spice storage situation just got a major upgrade.

Promising review: “My husband is a serious cook and not just any spice rack will accommodate his collection. Fortunately, we found these racks (we bought two sets) which were nicely and easily installed on the inside of our pantry door. They are sturdy and attractive, and hold lots of spice jars.” —VHH

Get a set of four from Amazon for $19.99.

9. Or! A set of spice-gripper clips if you’re fresh out of shelf space and don’t want to commit to a rack. Stick these babies on the pantry wall or door and voilà! Not a single inch of space shall go unused.Promising review: “OMG, I love these things! Such a simple idea; how did I ever live without them? … They hold all different circumferences of spice bottles. If some spices are too big to place all in the same connected row, you can cut off a tab and separate them. It doesn’t really affect the items on the shelves; you just have to push them back a little (maybe half an inch or so), so the spices have clearance when the door is shut.” —Bridget D.

Get a set of six strips (holds 30 jars) from Amazon for $13.97 (also available as a set of four and in colors white and black).

“These canisters are beautiful and fit our needs perfectly. The seal on the lids works great and the glass isn’t too thin which is what I worried about when researching containers.

12. And some spice and pantry labels to slap on your storage containers so they’re more organized (and prettier, of course). It’ll also be easier to keep track of what needs to be added to the grocery list when you actually know what’s in there.Daisy Paper House / Etsy

Promising review: “After multiple attempts to organize my deep, narrow, hard to organize lower cabinet, where I keep pots and pans, I finally tried one of the Lynx sliding shelves. WHY didn’t I just buy this to begin with?! I have these awful half-shelves in the lower cabinets that don’t hold much and make organizing even more difficult. Reaching into these lower cabinets can be painful and maddening when you need one pan or pot, but you have to remove EVERYTHING, set them on the floor, grab the one item you need, and shove the stack back into the narrow and deep cabinet. THIS sliding shelf solves the problem!” —Mustang Sally
