1.  Organizing a Kitchen with Small Spaces

2.  Organizing a kitchen for function, ease, and productivity
Looks well-stocked, but ask yourself some guiding questions:
1)  Do you have cans of old food whose freshness date has
                                                           expired?     
2)  Do you have food items that you will not use?
3)  Is the food located in a readily accessible spot for those in your

                                                            household who will use it ?
    Solutions:
1)  Now is the time to go through your stash of food items to check for expiration dates.
2)  Give away food items that you will not use.  Think about the local food shelf or an unemployed neighbor.
3)  Try moving food items around so the items that are used more often are most accessible.
