Dish towels

Dish towels are a weird addition to this list, I know. I mean, at the end of the day, we’re talking about clean clothes. You might try to avoid storing dish towels in your pantry, as they can attract moths, and you definitely don’t want that near your food. Next time you have a couple of hours to spare, go through all those dish towels and consider donating the heavily used ones to an animal shelter so you can use them.

Lidless containers

I think we can all agree that we’re guilty of holding onto a piece of Tupperware or even a plastic food container that has long been missing a lid. So what? This doesn’t mean that I can’t use it anymore, right? However, truth be told, it’s not that efficient, and it only takes up a lot of space.

So take all those lidless containers in your pantry, look for their lids, and if you can’t find them, simply donate them. Once you’ve found their matching pairs, you can start to consider how to organize them to make the most of the given space. And if you need to buy new sets of containers, here are my favorite choices.
