I'm looking at pantry porn

You know you’re looking at it on Pinterest, too—all those neat lines of labeled containers seductively enticing you to run right out to Target to stock up on containers and labels. The people who have these pantries don’t own things like a half bag of butterscotch chips or a can of expired chipotle peppers. They are ORGANIZED.

Late 90s, I saved up money & with several BB&B coupons, I bought matching storage containers & matching pattern drinking glasses in 2 sizes. I small glass left, the containers still look good.
But no labels for me, I can recognize rice from lentils from flour.

You can get them in all sorts of sizes, they are stackable, cheap, and let you see what and how much you have. I can also vacuum seal them if needed.
