Labels are your best friend when organizing

2A few weekends ago I completed my pantry organization project. If you read the post you'll see I was very satisfied with the results. My pantry was 300% better than it was before.

However I made a mistake. I forgot to label some of my canisters. Specifically the large canister where I store flour. You ask, how could that be a mistake. Well... I know the canister has flour but I don't know what type. Is it white flour, wheat flour, bread flour...  I just don't know (Actually I know it's not white flour but I'm not sure if it's wheat or bread flour).  Nor do I know how old it is.  I also don't know what type of beans are in the other canisters although I bet my wife knows.

Many of the canister I used I kept the original label inside of the canister. This way I know exactly what is in it.  I should have done this with the flour.

1_3 So, learn from my mistake. Be sure to either label your canisters or tear off the original label and store it inside the canister.
