Chef’s Path Extra Large Airtight Containers, 2 Pack
The big ones, for flour and sugar, the things that come in bags that never close again. They are actually airtight, so the brown sugar situation has not repeated itself.
ClearSpace Clear Plastic Storage Bins
Clear is doing the heavy lifting here. Snacks in one, baking in another, and I stopped excavating. They pull out like little drawers, so the back of the shelf is reachable now.
Lazy Susan Turntable, Set of 4
For oils, vinegars, and every sauce I forget I have. One spin instead of moving eight bottles. The non-skid top means nothing tips when it turns, which I did not appreciate until I used one that did.
