I pulled everything out of 5 cabinets and two drawers and cleaned and tossed and organized. On the counter above is what was in the cabinet below.
I forgot the before shot. this is the after.
See the 3 coffee cans? each had a 2 lb bag of corn meal, flour, almond flour. I took those 3 bags in the big flour container below top shelf. In Florida we have bug problems if you leave a bag sitting out on a shelf.
I found I had enough mustard for the next 2 years, and Zero Catsup ( major if married to Bob). Four Applesauce. most of this the result of 2020 habits formed of buy now it might not be on the shelf the next time, and hurricane supplies. I pondered just how long two people could live on MUSTARD?
Did I mention 5 large boxes of Saltines? 3 jars of mayo, 1 REAL mayo 2 Vegan Mayo which is a year's supply unless of course we put mayo and mustard on the crackers for the hurricane.
Please do not be concerned. there were also 5 jars of Peanut Butter. 3 of Jif for Bob, 2 of all natural for me. Beau shares the Jif.

| 3 bags of flour 1 container I thought this was clever enough to warrant its own photo to show how clever I am. It doesn't count that it is so heavy that I can't pick it up and will be there next year to toss out. |
Below is the cabinet on the opposite side that some
idiot designed as the largest cabinet in the kitchen with a tiny door and 1/2 of it not accessible except for a gymnast. The stool was needed because the same idiot designer, made the cabinets too high for a normal person to reach without fear for her life using them.
I must keep the things I use rarely at the back where they can't be seen resulting in buying another because I can't see it, and the edges are full of the glass bottles that break if dropped because it's the only one that holds tall bottles.
I wish I could be in the room with the person who built and installed these cabinets. Like the tiny one over the fridge, that I can't reach even standing on the sturdy stool and I don't dare stand on the tiny 3 step LADDER because then I would not need to reach there from my bed with a leg in traction.

I now have 4 extra dog bowls left over from angels gone over the rainbow bridge, and a 6 drink can thermal thingy (never used except hurricanes), bottles of cleaning vinegar and 5-gallon jugs of hurricane water. Object/items removed from that cabinet require a chair from the kitchen table because I can't. A. see it B. reach it and if I sat on the stool, it would require EMS to come and get me up off it. Note: it has a handle to hold on but only on one side. Are you picking up what I am putting down? PS for David G... I ordered that stool from AMAZON, Not Walmart! my other STORE I mention way too much. |
