My pantry is a mess regardless of my attempts. I overload my space. These videos really inspire me to get creative and work through what I already have. Another great video!!!
Hi Cait- Absolutely no judgement here friend! I’m all strapped in, let the fun begin!! 😂 Nothing like a great motivational video and you delivered for sure. Great job organizing. 😊 Those burgers 🍔 looked delicious. So glad John made an appearance doing his happy dance. 🕺 Those bao buns came out beautifully. ALL your recipes always look amazing. I swear, you could make pieces of cardboard taste good. 😂 Thanks for another great video. Sending you all love. ❤❤
Great video Cait! My husband Donnie was watching this one with me and IMMEDIATELY said, ours is WAY worse! At least it was. I JUST organized mine & am also shopping my pantry & freezer. Only going to the grocery store for milk & a little fresh produce. I will give you a tip though. I downloaded the “Super cook” app. The icon looks like a spoon with a cape on. As you go through your pantry, fridge, freezer and spices you can log them into the app and it will show you recipes with what you have and even recipes with ingredients you have most of but will tell you what you’re missing. It generated over 39,00 recipes for with what I have. 😲Then you can keep track of what you have & remove items as you use them. It’s been great! I too have WAY too much pasta so some pasta recipes coming my way would be greatly appreciated. 😬
Goodmorning beautiful friend. I think nobody will say something about the pantry because I thing 95% of people have a pantry like yours and mine. It is a pantry that is continiously used and I think,that is 1 of the reasons why it is harder to keep it more organized… So don’t be to hard on yourself because it just means you cook a lot so good job Cait 😎👍! Like always everything looks so good! I am hungry now and it is 4 am 🤣🤣🤣! Thank you for another amazing video 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Oh Cait…I love being your “pinky promise” Friend!! I cleaned my pantry couple weeks before Christmas so I can totally relate but honestly your pantry didn’t look that bad to me.
It’s amazing how looking for one item in your pantry can cause total chaos 😂 I swear sometimes I think they all just rearrange themselves in the deep dark night😂
No judgement here Cait!! You motivated me to clean out and organize mine too🤗 Great recipe ideas😋 I’ll definitely be trying those! Thanks for sharing…hello to John and the kiddos😊
Well, now that one of my friends has made me feel guilty about the state of my pantry, I guess I’ll be doing a pantry cleanup tomorrow! Thanks Cait! 😂This is actually the motivation I need. You made it seem so achievable. Let’s do this!
Thank you so much!! And I swear, it took so much less time than I expected it to… which always seems to be the case with the things I procrastinate. Next up is going through the kids’ toys. 😆
I need to do this at home home. Lol. Being in Kentucky Jacob and Katlin pretty much just buy what they need. And go from there great video as always. I am thriving to be number one on your channel one day. I will get there.
As a fellow Floridian, I’m surprised you don’t shop Publix for Bogo’s, or maybe you do? FYI potatoes next to bananas , will cause potatoes to deteriorate fast, unless you use them very quickly. Keep onions and potatoes away from fruits. Does anyone else date there products with a marker Best Buy Date, Purchase Date, and then the open date. I also have a memo book telling me how long products last pass there Best Buy dates, you wouldn’t believe how many products last well be on the BB date. Very much enjoyed my time with you Cait, always a good time, always we a laugh or two 💕
Thank you Cynthia! I’ve priced out the BOGOs with Publix and most of the time sales through Kroger or wholesale clubs is still a bigger savings. We will every so often grab some of the meats if they do like BOGO sausages. I have the emails I keep an eye on but I also don’t trust myself to walk around in a Publix because they’re so good at marketing that I end up buying things I don’t need. 😆🤣 Kroger delivery helps me not impulse buy lol!
Ohmigosh!! CAIT!! I love this!! Currently, i am doing the same thing, pantry inventory done just a few days ago. I am in the middle of a no-spend January, with exceptions, of course. Perishables only. Lemme explain. During November and December we had massive sales on meat, seafood, lamb, shellfish,poultry, etc. I bought ‘bulk’.. meh,bulk for 2 people.. on just about everything. I do not have a deep freezer!!! So, my goal for January (possible February as well) is to empty the freezer and pantry. ONLY purchase produce, fruit and dairy (oh, and dog treats) The extra meats I bought; not kidding… about $200. So, I have methodically eliminated each package of protein every day this month. Seriously, the month of January… I have spent $27 so far on produce, oranges, milk and eggs.(the dog treats were like $5 and the eggs were like $20 (hehe.. lol just kidding). Im not lying… I may do this for February. I have dubbed it “store perimeter” spending… with dog treats and coffee only. I love the basket idea for canned good and potatoes. I have the wire rack shelves in my pantry as well- 0 outta 10- do not recommend, so i look for helpers. We have another thing in common… your pantry looks like mine. I am not a Pinterest pantry kinda gal.
For the shelves suggestion to go to home depot and buy some melamine sheets. They are in the lumber section near plywood. It is relatively inexpensive. You can cut them to suit or they'll probably cut them for you. When you put food, canned goods, appliances on top they slide smoothly and won't fall through the shelf grates. Also, jealous of your walk in pantry.
Oh my goodness, that is genius and seriously would be a game changer. I was saying to Jon that I don’t know who in the home designer business decided these shelves would be the best default to go with.
Now that I've watched the whole video, (I had to pause a few times), I need to say "what the heck is wrong with your pantry?" I bet the people at John's work are happy you cleaned out the pantry. I'm telling you girl, when you said you were going to have to have a talk with the sauces in your fridge about family planning, I about lost it. Thanks for putting a little spark in a pretty dreary day where I'm at.
Girl you should see my pantry. I usually just open the door and throw things in and shut it up real quick. Now, I did clean out my fridge of all the past due condiments and other things that had grown legs and were walking around in there. Oh Cait, I heard that you shouldn’t store your potatoes and onions close together. Onions release a gas called ethylene which cause your potatoes to sprout and spoil faster.
Susan, I will gladly come do that just not during a Michigan winter hahaha. 😆 But I’d love to come during one of your beautiful, idyllic Michigan summers. 😍
@caitcoska OHMYGOSH, you'd absolutely love it here during the summer! On the internet, look up Torch Lake. We live a 10 minute drive from putting our toes in the beautiful clear water. We live on the edge of forest hills. So, our yard is filled with deer, wild turkeys, raccoons and ever other forest animals you can think of. Then, there are the orchards. Cherries, apples, berries! The summer is fresh produce heaven!
My tall-small- skinny pantry in the kitchen is organized well. My short squatty pantry/coffee bar...was horrible and still is slightly. However....upon going through things before the holiday baking started....I am no longer allowed to buy sprinkles of any kind for any occasion 🤦🏽♀️ The sprinkle situation, oh my lanta it is out of hand! It was one of those things "Do I have sprinkles? 🤔 Let's get some just Incase" EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 TIME 👏 I went shopping 🤦🏽♀️ I have so much I could use it as confetti at Mardi Gras! 😂
Oh my gosh this is so funny because last night I needed sprinkles and I only had valentines or fall! And I was like ugh I need to increase my sprinkle inventory. 😆
I love your pantry…IT’S BIG. Mine is so small and I hate it. I keep saying to myself, ok I’m cleaning the pantry again and I’m going to see if I can make it a walk-in pantry. But no luck …lol! I’ll send you a picture of that small thing.😂😂😂
You have enough food to do a no shop for at least 2 or 3 month's .. Our kids always ate what we ate. I never did special meals for them and special meals for adults.
We do a combination! It’s easier on us to meal prep for the kids because I have three toddlers so getting them food quick during the day is the utmost importance. I can wait to eat. Sometimes our meal prep overlaps, sometimes it doesn’t! I think as parents we all just do what works for our own families. Glad that worked for yours!
Thanks for sharing these ideas! My goal is to definitely spend less overall in 2025 because what even is the economy these days? Videos like this, dashed with your wicked sense of humor, give tons of ideas. Thanks!🧠
Girlie, STOP BEING SO HARD ON YOURSELF! My pantry is orderly-ish, but you should see my pots and pans drawer...and my storage container drawer - good googly moogly, so embarrassing!😬 And I don't even have toddlers.
Hahaha thank you!! It’s so funny because if I went to a friend’s house and theirs was worse than mine, I wouldn’t even blink at it. But for myself, I have a ridiculous standard. 😆
Yeees a antihaul video i love them! Thank you so much❤❤❤
Thank you! I love doing them so much!
My pantry is a mess regardless of my attempts. I overload my space. These videos really inspire me to get creative and work through what I already have. Another great video!!!
Thank you!! I always end up shoving too much in there. 😆 At least we aren’t alone!
Hi Cait- Absolutely no judgement here friend! I’m all strapped in, let the fun begin!! 😂 Nothing like a great motivational video and you delivered for sure. Great job organizing. 😊

Love love love your videos!!! So much inspiration in this one 😍
Thank you!! We all need to help each other out in the inspiration area 😍
Dark chocolate pistachios in toll house bar cookies! Just a thought.
Yet another genius idea!! Thank you!!

Loved watching you do the pantry cleanup. Absolutely NO judgment from me. 😊
All of those meals look fantastic!
Thank you so much!! I have a lot more organizing projects on the agenda this year so this probably won’t be the last video like this hahah

You are the best, thank you!! I hope your day has gone beautifully so far my friend! 🩷
Hi Cait. I love your down to earth honesty. My pantry looks about the same. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Donna! I'm glad I'm not the only one who struggles with that 😂
Oh Cait…I love being your “pinky promise” Friend!! I cleaned my pantry couple weeks before Christmas so I can totally relate but honestly your pantry didn’t look that bad to me.
Thank you so much!! Now that a good amount is cleared out, I’m hoping it’ll be easier for me to maintain! Haha
It’s amazing how looking for one item in your pantry can cause total chaos 😂 I swear sometimes I think they all just rearrange themselves in the deep dark night😂
I couldn’t agree more!! It’s like Toy Story: Pantry Edition 🤣
@@caitcoska possibly gremlins!
I guarantee you that none of us are judging you!! Thanks for showing real life ❤
Haha thank you so much!! I’m glad you guys are true friends. 🫶🏼
That pantry looked so awesome!
Thank you! Let’s hope I can keep it this way haha
I need to get started with a pantry clean out/cooking challenge soon. I have way too much in there, and we hate wasting food!
That’s how I am too!! I used to only get a cabinet for my pantry so I can’t believe I’ve gotten to this point. 🫣😅
No judgement here Cait!! You motivated me to clean out and organize mine too🤗 Great recipe ideas😋 I’ll definitely be trying those! Thanks for sharing…hello to John and the kiddos😊
Thank you so much my friend!! All 5 of us are sending hugs to you! 🫶🏼

You’re the best, April, thank you!! I can’t even tell you how badly we want to road trip to Kentucky! Whenever I do, I’ll have to ask for tips!
Pantry looks good. Awesome job! -Kryste
Thank you my friend!!
lol I think your pantry looks totally fine
Hahaha thank you!! It’s definitely much better now 😅
My pantry is also not aesthetic lol love these anti haul videos friend they help so much ! ❤
Hahah I’m glad we aren’t alone there. Everytime I log on IG, people have the nicest looking spaces. 🤣
Definitely inspired to attack my small pantry now. Those dishes looked so delicious! You are an amazing cook!
Thank you so much! 🩷🫶🏼
Great job. I need to do the same so absolutely no judgement here. Food recipes look great too. Thanks for the video. 😊
Thank you so much for watching!! 🫶🏼🩷
Great job. Well done. 😊
Thank you so much!! 🙏

I store breadcrumbs in freezer, won't go stale.
Ohhh that’s so smart!!
I wish I had a pantry to get messy🥴😂. Good job Cait!❤
Thank you my friend!! I used to only have a cabinet for canned goods so I’m still not used to having this much space. 😅🫣
@ That’s exactly what I have and it is shared with dog food on the very bottom!🥴😂
Another great one my girl ❤❤
Thank you so much!! 💕
A posting, just what I needed!
Yay!! Sorry I’m a bit late tonight, my computer and I had a staff meeting that didn’t go well. 😆🤣🫣
@caitcoska 😅
I don’t get how you’re so creative with your dishes friend, give me your brain 🧠 😅lol
I think I spent so much time on Pinterest in the 2010’s that my brain was infiltrated with ideas. 😆
My pantry is nowhere near the size of yours! Jelly🙃. I seriously need to do a reset too! You inspire me.
In our first house, our “pantry” was just a single cabinet. 😆 I still can’t believe I get to have one this size!

I love this so much!! It seriously makes such a difference and then it’s also easier when you go to restock.. know what you actually like!
Your pantry looks amazing! We’ve been sick since Dec 30th & I feel like we are so behind with the New Year. The orzo dish looked really good! 😋
Oh no I’m so sorry you’ve been sick so long! What a way to start the new year. 🤦🏻♀️ I hope you’re feeling better! 🩷

Oh man!! I’m so glad you told me that! I’ll break them up. 😅

Ooooo where did you get the clear glass with the painted flowers on it??
I got it at Marshall’s!! I am so obsessed and wish I bought a second! 😅
Hi how are you? How's the family?! Hi Jon! I love anit hauls soooo damn much. Great ideas here bestie
😆 thank you!! We gotta get some shirts back on here so you can rate them!

Yours looks so easy to locate things though so that’s a win!! 😍😅
@ no it really it’s. So much gets lost because it’s deep and too low for me to bend…
Looksgreat
Thank you!!
OK, ur really starting to motivate me to organize my pantry, so u have to stop doing these videos before I actually get off the couch! 😄
😆🤣 it’s Sunday, you deserve the rest!
#1 Again!!!!!
Hi my friend!! Happy Sunday!!
My pantry was like that until I reorganized it.
I’m hoping mine stays clear this time! Hahah
No lies here, mine is WAY worse!! I would share a pic if we could here.😂
I’m so glad we aren’t alone then. 😆
@ you are NOT alone sista! I have even taken some things and put on a shelf in spare room, but I NEED to try to work thru that pantry.
Mines a huge mess much smaller as well
At least we can relate to each other haha it’s so hard to keep it organized!

No judgement here ma'am. Mine is way more disorganized...
I’m sure mine will be back there in a few weeks! Haha. 😆
Nobody has the right to judge you. Believe me i have seen and had worse... lol
