My Tupperware cupboard has been exploding since the day after I cleaned it up in the summer. It was time. I did this one a few weeks ago, actually, because I wanted to see if I could keep it from falling into disarray in the next 7 days. Well, this time, it has made it for a full 3 weeks today:
Despite the lack of faith from my Tweeps, my cupboard today looks pretty much as good as it did the day that I reorganized - it has even survived a fridge clean-out (all those leftovers containers finally getting washed & put back in the stack again...)!
My biggest tip to pass along to you: buy a dish rack from the dollar store. Use it to store all of your lids, with the biggest in the back and the smallest in the front. Keep it easy access so that you can slide it out and find the lid you want right away. I used to use a large plastic container that was in the cupboard anyways for lid storage and then a small basket for small lid storage, but that just wasn't working out.
Sort through all of your containers -
throw away donate the ones you hate (let's be honest, you're not using them anyways!!), and recycle all of the mismatched pieces. This time around, I ended up with a
crazy amount of lonely lids. Beats me where the containers went. Oh well - into the recycling they went!
Please ask me again in 3 months to take another photo of my cupboard - I'm optimistic that it just might be in good shape still!
I'm in awe ;) WELL done!
ReplyDeleteI'm in awe - you brave, brave woman. My tupperware cupboard is akin to a serial killer hiding in my closet. SCARY!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're able to keep your tupperware cupboard organized! That always seems to be the hardest cupboard to keep organized, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI made the switch from plastic to glass, and I only have one glass drawer, but it looks the same!
