Pantry Organizing can only mean one thing…grocery hauls & satisfying restocks! I hope this video helps anyone who struggles to organize their awkward pantry space 🤗
I remember years ago when filling your refrigerator you almost got choked up because you were ‘able’ to fill it. You’ve come a long way and I am happy for you
Such a great video Megan...your pantry makeover was perfect!!! You have definitely grown into a sweet and thoughtful person due to your past. Thanks for sharing that part of your life with us❤
Megan, you might want to consider putting small shelves on the back wall of your pantry spanning each of the side shelves. It would give you a little more area in which to store food. It wouldn't take away your access to what's on the existing shelves and it wouldn't be that difficult to accomplish. I think you have a lot to be proud of for turning your life around and becoming the responsible, loving, productive woman you are now. Keep up the good work. You're doing great!
My mom did breakfast for dinner frequently. She told us it was a treat to have breakfast for dinner. Then as we aged, we realized it was because she could stretch the food much easier and farther. Eggs were our friends! Thanks Megan for sharing, there's a lot more of US out there then people know or confess to.
You are the first American youtuber ever watched. You are my favorite not because you do all these perfect diys but because you are so honest and real person . LOVE YOU ❤️ 😍 💖
You have shared and acknowledged what you perceived to be a painful part of your life also how you are able to address the organization needed to have 😊things work better for you You have given inspiration to others by your honesty and problemsolving thank you
Hi Megan, I'm a new subscriber who started watching your latest outdoor updates and am going back now to watch your earlier videos. I'm a 43 year old married working mom of two. I've experienced different difficulties in my life and cannot begin to understand what you went through. However, I just wanted to comment on the fact that you invited other people to feel disgust for the fact that you had some food waste. You are human and you are raising little humans. I applaud the fact that you make not wasting food a priority but I do not think you deserve anyone's disgust when you fall short. Please, please give yourself grace.
Megan you have nothing to apologize for. We all sometimes have expired food that needs to go. It happens. We're all human. You have come so far and you do a fantastic job of keeping your home and family together and happy!! You should be very proud of yourself! Love you and will always be here!! ❤❤😀
Just want to say thank you for your video and for being real and vulnerable about homelessness, food insecurity, and food waste. Huge respect. Thank you.
Basically, ditto to what everyone else has said. I just feel sick when I clean out my fridge sometimes, and think of the wasted money I spent on the food in the trash. Everyone experiences this. I did not know about your struggles when you were a young adult. I’ve always loved your title, and I thought there might have been a time when you didn’t love your life. I love your videos and have gotten great ideas from you. Your brutal honesty was remarkable, I’ve never seen anyone on UA-cam own a ‘mistake’ as you did. I so admire you!
A few things I’ve been doing that I find saves on wasting food is 1)shop online & not walk around the supermarket! I only get what I need! 2)meal plan & check my inventory for what is needed for the meals I plan on making. 3) go thru my freezer for meats for dinner ideas for my weekly meal plan so I use up what I already have:) Thanks Megan for being so raw & honest about ur struggles. I think it’s important for many to hear that perspective bc it’s foreign to them. 🙏🏻😂
I think I might try some target pickup orders this month & see if that helps! Unfortunately, Aldi doesn’t offer that & that’s the store we shop at for the bulk of our groceries
Wow! Megan, once again you did a fabulous job ~ your pantry looks absolutely beautiful now! You are so real and down to earth, such a sweet, lovely young lady. Thank you for all of the great inspiring videos you share with us! You are a gem. 😊❤
It’s so easy, to overlook expired food, I believe it’s happened to all of us at one time or another. Don’t be so hard on yourself. But I can understand why you feel like you do. I think we should all have more gratitude for having a place to live and food to eat. It’s so easy to take it all for granted
Megan - thank you for being so open and honest Sweetie! I felt you as you were talking!! We all have had experiences that helped shape who we are...your experience helps you to appreciate, be more mindful, and intentional..These are great qualities that you will pass on to your daughters!! You did a wonderful job.. I love that divided lazy susan!! Have a wonderful week Suga
I so appreciate you for sharing your earlier struggles. I think we've all been in your situation when food went uneaten bc it wasn't well organized or our family's tastes change. When we know better, we do better. Thanks again for your transparency. You keep doing you, you are a treasure on this platform😊
Thank you for the story about being hungry. I had that same problem and I honesty appreciate your telling others. There aren't many of us who could overcome. I am proud of you!!
Thank you for your honesty ❤ I too was a single mom of two living in income based apartments, working three jobs and basically stealing food to have a meal from the restaurant I worked at. We get put through these situations to make us stronger. Very proud of you for thriving.
Great job on the pantry 💕 I have always enjoyed all of your organizing videos 🙏🏻 Thanks for sharing some of your hardest times in life 🙏🏻 because of the struggles I think it makes us stronger. You’re an amazing woman who loves & appreciates what you now have / your family 🙏🏻
You did an awesome job. Mine is small like yours and i have gone to the long clear bins. Even in my frig so I can access what's on the top shelf. Mine is still a work in progress. Sharing your life experience was very touching. You are a sweet soul.
What about using under the shelf baskets for extra storage? I store my bread loaves, bagels, and sub rolls in there. It’s the perfect size for that plus it never gets squashed 😆 It would also free up shelf space 👍🏼
I love your hair color, seems a bit darker. Also, when I saw you throwing away food I was worried how it would make you feel. Your transparency is so life giving.
Thanks for sharing your past and your journey now with pantry storage. I did my pantry, too. What 's great is how the pantry looks and trying it ideas to see what works ❤
Aww, sweet girl, I'm so sad to know you struggled at any point in your life. I absolutely love you and your content. I always feel that all your videos are with pure intentions of goodness and meaning. Don't beat yourself up over the food you had to toss. I feel as though there are many of us or I'll speak for myself, I have been guilty of food waste. Not intentional by any means. It just happens. You keep doing exactly what you are with your channel, You are great!!
What an improvement, I have a can organizer too and I love it and it's been the best solution so I'm sure you will love yours too!! We have silimar styles, and I think it turned out fantastic!! Good trouble shooting !!
This is the first time I’ve watched any of your videos. When you told your story it broke my heart. It just seems so unfair that people live like this in our country of excess! I watch another creator’s videos and she had a similar situation. She was able to get out of her situation, too. Like you, she also has a very popular UA-cam channel. I’m so glad you’ve been able to find a way out of that situation and you seem to be happy and healthy now. I’m so happy for you and wish you continued success. I intend to keep watching your channel!
Megan, you are such an awesome person. I absolutely love that you addressed the food you were throwing out. I'm guilty of that. I've never had the experiences you have. Just look at how far you have come. Hard work really pays off. I have been making more of an effort to go through my cupboards before making a shopping list and making sure everything is organized. This was a great video and your pantry looks beautiful ❤
Loved this video!! Did not know the Eraser would take off the pantry shelf scuff marks! I’ve got to go get busy! Thanks for the inspiration! Love ya, Cindy💗🌻
Thank you for being raw and honest… I was a child of food insecurity and homelessness as well. I just watched fit frugal mom do an entire video about cooking and using expired foods, and it was so good and so like me cooking/using stuff even out of date (not dairy or meats improperly stored of course)
I totally understand not wanting to waste any food we struggled alot when we were first married we had a baby right off the bat so I learned to feed us with between 50 and 80 dollars every 2 weeks so I try to be very careful with my pantry stock but things do slip through have a blessed weekend sweet lady ❤🤟
Really great job! I think that if in the future you need more space you could consider adding shelf on the wall to make a U shape pantry. Hope this time things work better 👍🏻
It looks stunning...you are such an inspiration ❤...I feel like setting up a little space, to make a pantry for my home, too! I love the organization ❤Hugs, Karin..South Africa
Thanks for the video! Have you considered changing the shelves of one of the sides to the back and using the lazy susans in the corners? I think it would open up your pantry so much ❤
Pantry video- yay!! Love your videos!! Have you ever thought about taking the left shelves and moving them to the back wall so you have more room to walk into it? Just a thought.
Hey Megan! It turned out great! I’m watching while I have covid and it’s the second time I got it last time I got it was in 2021 of May and now second time. I’m almost done quarantining Sunday is my last day but today I deeper clean my room get all fresh air in my small bedroom as possible only have 1 window I remember you guys had limited windows too in your room so you can relate. Thanks for the motivation I almost wasn’t going too clean but I’m like nope get your bitt off your bed you’re capable of cleaning put Megan on your phone and clean with her and that’s what I did & I get to go back to work Monday so I want my bedroom all clean and when I come home from work on Monday it’s in Alan fresh slate and I can move on and get better. Want you to know that my family growing up was poor also, so I know that feeling of how you had anxiety of throwing out food I try and not waste any myself but we can only better ourselves and that wooden lazy Susan looks cool I’ve never seen one either. I hope this system functions for your guys pantry you did a great job for your family! 💜😊
If you ever get your diy itch for renovation: Looking at how the shelves are in there- from what’s shown it looks like you might be able to take one walls off, maybe trim the length, then put on the back wall so it creates a long L shape with the other side. Then you might be able to walk in with more space and even use the opposite wall for wall hanging of aprons etc.
THXS FOR SHAREING I LOVE THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS U DID AN AMAZING JOB ON UR PANTRY I LOVE UR CONTAINERS THAT U USE 😊 ESPECIALLY THE CONTAINERS WITH THE BLK LIDS😊 LOOK FOWARD TO SEEING UR NEXT VIDEO 😊MUCH APPRECIATED N MUCH LOVE ❤
Oh girl! I remember the days of bologna and cheese sandwiches. Going back to last week video. I was talking about my closet and how my husband has over taken the situation. Well…I’m still working in the closet,putting in a few more shelves and a shoe rack, but I had to share with you how many clothes hangers that got relieved from duty 73!!!lol Pantry looks good. Hopefully this will work out for you and the fam. My next thing to get straightened out are going to be my countertop appliances. I have more appliances the countertop space.😂 Take care and have a great weekend.
Looks great! I have also had to do several pantry organizations...still don't have everything right. I am interested to know if you really do end up liking that can organizer. I had one and it just didn't work for us.
I think that moving one side of shelves to the back creating an L shape would give you more space, you can then add a wall mounted can holder which has a very slim profile.
The Walmart brand storage containers do work, they aren't made for grabbing by the lid top bc they will pop off and make a mess. If you would have had them in the front instead of having to grab over things you wouldn't have had a mess. Please give them a chance again in a different location possibly. I am truly not trying to critize you, I have those containers in my home and I love them and they work great....And just to let you know that when I was in a hurry I have grabbed them too quickly and the top did come off and I had macaroni all over the floor.....But that was my mistake for grabbing too close to the top. Loving you video and wishing you the best, it's looking great. From the sounds of your story you have turned things around for yourself, keep up the great work.
This video was great! I have a coat closet that I’m turning into a pantry because my house didn’t come with one. So it’s kind of awkward like yours. Did you put the shelving in yourself? If so, where did you get the shelving? Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
How is this system working now? Have you changed anything out? Particularly interested in the jars with the black lids as far as keeping the food fresh?
I'm so sorry you had you go thru that. No judgement I grew up with very little food certain times of the month but my mom tried she became very frugal and creative eating from the pantry until the next month when we'd get government food supplies the next month. Those staples were very important
@lovinglifeasmegan you are correct you had me in tears today with you story no child or adult should ever have to go without food. Housing or clothing. That made me cry. Glad you a.nd your family are doing well. Your children will always remember how they grew up. Take care can't wait for the next video
Where did you get the stackable clear storage containers that you emptied but I don't think refilled and used? I think there were Pringles in one of them.
My pantry is always a mess. I try to organize it. But my husband puts things wherever he finds a spot. So I just let it be a mess. And keep it looking the best I can. My husband was looking through my spices and found some pepper that expired in September 2023. No one wants to through food away now days. Everything at the grocery is too expensive. There’s just me and my husband here. We have three small dogs and I feed and give treats to all the feral cats that came with our land. Right now I think there’s at least twelve. Four which are kittens. I need one of the wire can racks. I also need something that will keep brown sugar soft. Anything I have tried hasn’t worked,
Have you ever thought about putting more shelves in the back of the pantry, to give you more shelving space? So the shelves make like a u but sharp edges lol
Really enjoyed this video. Here is a tip for you. Put a marshmallow or two in with your brown sugar and it won’t get hard and clumpy. I would love to know your whole backstory. I do respect your privacy but the few small glimpses just make me want to know you a little better. I hope you are having a great weekend. And will enjoy the Super Bowl, if you are a football fan. Regards from Florida.
Thanks for the tip! 🤗 I’ve thought about podcasting to talk about my life experiences, but I’m so nervous to share much more than I already have. Derek is a football fan so he’ll definitely be watching the superbowl!

I still get emotional every time we go grocery shopping & restock the house. Its something I will never take for granted ❤️

You are an amazing young woman - sometimes life gets the best of us. Don't judge yourself too hard. xxoo

It looks like you came up with a great solution. I love using lazy Susan's and the ones you have are really cute!
I love them too! They were a great find 🤗
You did an awesome job. Mine is small like yours and i have gone to the long clear bins. Even in my frig so I can access what's on the top shelf. Mine is still a work in progress. Sharing your life experience was very touching. You are a sweet soul.
Unfortunately our shelves aren’t deep enough for long bins, but I’m very satisfied with everything that did fit in here 😊
What about using under the shelf baskets for extra storage? I store my bread loaves, bagels, and sub rolls in there. It’s the perfect size for that plus it never gets squashed 😆 It would also free up shelf space 👍🏼
We had some & I didn’t like them. They got super messy & didn’t offer much storage space for us 😊

Also, when I saw you throwing away food I was worried how it would make you feel. Your transparency is so life giving.
I’ve been growing out the bleached parts for about 3 years now. The darker parts are my natural hair color. 😊
Looks good! Love the glass canisters you are using. Thanks for sharing, Megan ❤
Thanks! They’ve worked out great! They hold so much more, and the mouth is wide enough to comfortably scoop the ingredients 🤗

We have a pretty tight food budget too. It helps us to actually eat through our food when we don’t over spend/shop at the grocery store
Pretty and convenient! Great transformation
Thanks!
Looks great Megan

@@lovinglifeasmegan good to hear-really looked great and easy to find everything 🙏🏼
I’m with you on the whole having to throw food away. It happens a lot in my refrigerator. It’s very upsetting. Your pantry turned out beautiful
It happens in my refrigerator sometimes too 😩
@@lovinglifeasmegan one of my problem is I still think I’m cooking for a family of 6 not 3🤦🏽♀️. This year I’m hope to do better.
Oh girl! I remember the days of bologna and cheese sandwiches.
Going back to last week video. I was talking about my closet and how my husband has over taken the situation.
Well…I’m still working in the closet,putting in a few more shelves and a shoe rack, but I had to share with you how many clothes hangers that got relieved from duty 73!!!lol
Pantry looks good. Hopefully this will work out for you and the fam. My next thing to get straightened out are going to be my countertop appliances. I have more appliances the countertop space.😂
Take care and have a great weekend.
73?!?!? That’s amazing! 🤩
A door rack may be useful on your back wall if it fits, would make good use of that space too. .
The door is a bifold door.
Looks Great. 👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks!
great job.
Thanks!
I grew up in a really poor family, I worked really hard so my family is well fed. However, I feel so satisfied when we go through all our food.
It is a very satisfying feeling for sure 😊
Looks great! I have also had to do several pantry organizations...still don't have everything right. I am interested to know if you really do end up liking that can organizer. I had one and it just didn't work for us.
I’m loving it so far! We don’t keep an excess of canned goods, so this one has been perfect for us!
Megan your Amazing, ❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
I think that moving one side of shelves to the back creating an L shape would give you more space, you can then add a wall mounted can holder which has a very slim profile.
That is not in our plans
You could move one side of the all the shelves to the back wall so you’d have more room to walk in? Idk if you’ve thought or tried it.
There isn’t room for that
The Walmart brand storage containers do work, they aren't made for grabbing by the lid top bc they will pop off and make a mess. If you would have had them in the front instead of having to grab over things you wouldn't have had a mess. Please give them a chance again in a different location possibly. I am truly not trying to critize you, I have those containers in my home and I love them and they work great....And just to let you know that when I was in a hurry I have grabbed them too quickly and the top did come off and I had macaroni all over the floor.....But that was my mistake for grabbing too close to the top. Loving you video and wishing you the best, it's looking great. From the sounds of your story you have turned things around for yourself, keep up the great work.
I’m glad you love them. We don’t, so we won’t be using them. 😊 this pantry organization has been great for us!
Oh😮lindo trabalho
Thank you 🤗
This video was great! I have a coat closet that I’m turning into a pantry because my house didn’t come with one. So it’s kind of awkward like yours. Did you put the shelving in yourself? If so, where did you get the shelving? Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
The previous home owners put the pantry shelves in, but I do plan to redo it in the spring/summer
Beautiful ❤❤❤
😍😍😍
I like those glass jars with black lids. Where could I find those!. Thank you for sharing!
I have everything linked in the description box 😊 but here’s the link for the glass jars rstyle.me/+8Qnfs2NxDIXvxUKVhDhTNg
@@lovinglifeasmegan thank you 😊
Have you ever considered changing the shelves layout? Maybe an L shape will give you more moving space
Yes, we’ve got some plans for this pantry…just not ready to do it yet.
How is this system working now? Have you changed anything out? Particularly interested in the jars with the black lids as far as keeping the food fresh?
I have not changed anything! I love this system 😍
You are awesome....😊
❤️❤️❤️
ERHMAHGERD! ILOVEYOURARTISOCATSSHIRT 😬😳🤩😱
😍 thank you!! It’s one of my favorites
@@lovinglifeasmegan so cute!
It looks amazing, I live in England and wish I had a pantry like that,we don't get them here ❤
I don’t think this was supposed to be a pantry, but the previous owners converted it into one.
I'm so sorry you had you go thru that. No judgement I grew up with very little food certain times of the month but my mom tried she became very frugal and creative eating from the pantry until the next month when we'd get government food supplies the next month. Those staples were very important
We do that sometimes just to try to get as much out of our pantry as possible, nothing wrong with being frugal ❤️
@lovinglifeasmegan you are correct you had me in tears today with you story no child or adult should ever have to go without food. Housing or clothing. That made me cry. Glad you a.nd your family are doing well. Your children will always remember how they grew up. Take care can't wait for the next video
Where did you get the stackable clear storage containers that you emptied but I don't think refilled and used? I think there were Pringles in one of them.
Here’s the link rstyle.me/+r2lAwfTkHjS9pY0smFUtoA
I really like your lazy Susan Wood were did you buy it?❤?

My pantry is always a mess. I try to organize it. But my husband puts things wherever he finds a spot. So I just let it be a mess. And keep it looking the best I can. My husband was looking through my spices and found some pepper that expired in September 2023. No one wants to through food away now days. Everything at the grocery is too expensive. There’s just me and my husband here. We have three small dogs and I feed and give treats to all the feral cats that came with our land. Right now I think there’s at least twelve. Four which are kittens. I need one of the wire can racks. I also need something that will keep brown sugar soft. Anything I have tried hasn’t worked,
Someone else suggested adding a marshmallow to the brown sugar to keep it soft 😊
Do you remember where you got the wooden bowls that you ended up not using?
Here’s the link! rstyle.me/+fOXpzn2mbprOMCSkvAanqA
Have you ever thought about putting more shelves in the back of the pantry, to give you more shelving space? So the shelves make like a u but sharp edges lol
Yeah I’ve thought about it 😊
Really enjoyed this video. Here is a tip for you. Put a marshmallow or two in with your brown sugar and it won’t get hard and clumpy. I would love to know your whole backstory. I do respect your privacy but the few small glimpses just make me want to know you a little better. I hope you are having a great weekend. And will enjoy the Super Bowl, if you are a football fan. Regards from Florida.
Thanks for the tip! 🤗 I’ve thought about podcasting to talk about my life experiences, but I’m so nervous to share much more than I already have.
Derek is a football fan so he’ll definitely be watching the superbowl!
