Here is how I solved the endless "what can will I grab" from the food pantry. I cut strips of wood then placed in rows to hold my canned goods on the bottom shelf of my cabinet. I used a square of wood to hold them in place at the front of each row.This will work for any space I'm sure. I took this photo after Thanksgiving, obviously we'd hit the corn! :)

Love the idea of organizing the canned goods. I'm not sure if you have elevated the back but I would want that done if and when my husband could do it so the cans would roll forward. I have very deep shelves too and it's easy for them to get lost. Great job.

This looks like a great idea. We have been storing canned goods on shelves in the basement....nothing wrong with that probably for most folks but I just don't like to go in the basement. Hubby spends a lot of time down there as he has a basement workshop; however he is not good at keeping inventory of the canned goods! So I plan on not buying as many in the future and also am gonna start storing more upstairs in my laundry room. I have two pantry closets in there and have been spending time getting them organized. The deeper one I am using for small appliances and cleaning products and the one with narrower depth shelves is gonna be for food items. One whole wide shelf devoted to canned goods should be enough and since they will not be stacked probably more than 3 or 4 deep, I should be able to see what I have! We definitely have wasted canned food because altho it does not spoil if the can is not damaged, it sure doesn't taste good when it's past its prime!

What a great idea. I have been trying to figure out what to do as I live in a travel trailer. Thanks for the input.

Great Idea Melanie. Thankfully, my husband can
do just about anything. He has so many projects
that his list will take him well into the next 100 years.
However, he's going to have to fit your idea into my
can cupboard sometime soon. It looks very nice and will work for us too. Thank you so much.

Merry Christmas,
Julia in Orlando, FL

I like your idea. I feel my cupboard is usless. The shelves are deep and it takes me forever to find something. I straighten them out and it does not last.Are your shelves deep. They look like it.
