Organization is the key for me

I mentioned organization before but I want to take a minute and explain how I have gotten myself organized.  This is how I do it feel free to tailor my advice to your situation.  I took one night months ago to completely empty my pantry throw out my old stuff and then put like products together (canned goods, baking and cooking items (spices, oils, etc.), condiments, rice and pasta, breakfast foods, snack foods, meal in a box.  When you put things back look at the dates and arrange things where the first to expire is in front and the last to expire is in the back (this is if you have 12 bottles of bbq sauce for instance).  I took another night to do the same process for the freezer.  I put meats on the bottom, keep my veggies together, my frozen meals together (pizza for instance), and ice cream and desserts together.  My freezer is a regular freezer so I do have issues with space you just have to figure out what works for you.  My fridge I try to clean out regularly because it varies week to week depending on sales and specials.  When it comes to organizing my coupons I have a large zippered binder divided into 7 sections (pharmacy, cleaning, toiletries, pantry, fridge, freezer, paper products), behind each divider I have page protectors labeled with sub categories that hold my coupons.  Yes, I cut every coupon out and always have them with me.  You never know when you will find an unadvertised deal or something on closeout price.  I organize everything simply because I do not want to spend hours doing this at most I spend 4-5 hours per week planning my shopping, I do it while my daughter naps and when she goes to sleep on Sundays.
