Wah-lah! This rack allows for quick and easy access to the pan lids. Easy to see, easy to grab, and they stay out of the way. _________________________________________________________________ Magazine Holder = Great Space Saver! There are just so many uses for these Magazine Holders! Start with using them in your kitchen. _________________________________________________________________ Add racks to existing shelves in your pantry! You'll be so grateful you did! _________________________________________________________________ Food! Imagine all the SPACE you'll suddenly have if you purge the junk food, potato chip bags, soda cans, bottled water (just get a filter on your fridge or tap)! Have ONE snack box in the top of your cupboards, where it's not eye level, and a little harder to reach to avoid temptation. I keep my snack box filled with hot coco, unsalted mixed nuts, dark chocolate with almond Hershey bar, popcorn. Make the change--you'll love the new space and the smaller clothes! _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ Over-Stuffed Fridge/Pantry? Spend the day purging your fridge, freezer and pantry. Trash all the expired foods. Wipe down the surfaces. Re-Stock your fridge/pantry with the non-expired foods. Group like-items together. Drinks up top, dairy in the middle, fruits in one bin, veggies in another, condiments on the door, raw meats in one section, cooked meats in another. Create an area just for left-over containers. The Day Before Trash Day Each Week, go through your fridge/pantry--do a quick scan. What needs to be tossed out because it's spoiled? What needs to be cooked right away? What can you transform your ingredients and left-overs into? Take out the trash the night before trash day.
