Judy and Jamberie you put me to shame.
I wish I was super organized like that.
Mine stays like that for about 1 week and then chaos finds its way back in

I know where everything is in my pantry, but it is a mess. My freezer is utter chaos. I kind of know what is in there, but when I sort it I will always find a few things I had forgotten about.  I wouldn't use an app for the pantry but I would for the freezer.

Crikey, who has time for writing down what's in the cupboards. ROFL.
Apologies if you do do this, am just convulsed at the idea.... As no longer than it'd be written down than eaten in this house......

I am with you DJ  and as I am the only one who ever opens the pantry door I have no need to mark anything.

Same as me with my freezer. I always find containers with leftovers that I have forgotten about.
I need a new freezer and hope to get one as soon as I get home. Will make my life easier.

I have some sticky whiteboard sheets on my fridge that I use to keep track of the contents of my freezer.  Pre-TMX I hardly ever used my freezer as I knew that once I put something in there it would never come out again (including meat).  Funny though, I always managed to use up the ice-cream!

Yeah I just tossed out Brocoli soup from October 2010, and a bunch of other things (including meat dishes) from 2011. Not helped that the stickers I had stuck on came off.

Jamberie, your pantry is a credit to you - don't know how you labelled that picture but it is very clever.

Fantastic pantry jamberrie. Thought mine was organised but yours us perfect

[Halex]

Jamberie, want o come & sort mine out

[Jamberie]

I really have to laugh...I should post a picture of my wardrobe...but I won't because it's terrible!
Hally- I'd love to, going shopping for the containers is my favourite part
Judy- I opened the photo using simple "paint" and then put a text box over the image and typed into it. Then used the "pen" to draw the lines with my mouse......it's quick and easy....not high quality, I just wanted to get the point across quickly.

It sounds simple Jamberie and very effective too.

I have the problem with stickers coming off too.
