Healthy Living - Annual Organization of Your Food Pantry

By Phylameana lila Desy, About.com Guide

Everyone likes a good sale at the market. But, overstocking your pantry is not a good idea. You'll end up with outdated foods that will eventually need to be tossed out. What a waste. No savings either! You'll be throwing money into the trash. Or worse yet, you will end up eating food that has little or no nutritional value. Or possibly be sickened from eating tainted food.

I have put together this six step tutorial for doing an annual inventory and re-organization of your pantry. The month of January, right after ringing in the new year, is a good time for doing this. Keeping your kitchen stocked with the freshest foods will assure the family meals you prepare are the healthiest possible.
