Overall, you want to create a pantry that is good for your family and/or yourself! However many people you may have. A pantry should be organized (6 Tips to Start a Dollar Tree Pantry Organization Project)!
Some other key tips would be to clean out expired goods every few months. Check your labels on products to make sure they are supposed to stay in the pantry and not the refrigerator.
6. Fruit Pantry Essentials
Get a fruit basket for all of the fruits/vegetables that cannot be in the fridge. These could be bananas, avocados, etc! Whatever that may be, I like adding it in my pantry essentials list for the week just so I know what will and won’t fit in the refrigerator.
Some other vegetables would be potatoes and onions and even tomatoes. I keep all three in the fridge just because I am someone who is lazy and thinks they last the longest there??? I hope so at least
