Pantry Zones, Shelf by Shelf

Sort by how often you reach for it, not by food type.

Most pantry advice sorts by food group. I sort by reach. The thing I grab daily should never be behind the thing I use twice a year.

The sheet, in text

• Top shelf: Rarely used. Backstock and extras. Party platters, seasonal baking.
• Eye level: Everyday food. Breakfast, pasta, rice, tins. Decant only what you use weekly.
• Waist level: Cooking zone. Oils, vinegar, baking basics. Group in a tray you can lift out.
• Low shelf: Snacks. Open bins, no lids to fight with.
• Floor: Bulk and drinks. Flour sacks, cases, pet food. On a crate, never straight on the floor.

What I would actually use for this

Do the sheet first. If you still need something afterwards, these are the ones from my own shortlist that fit this job.
