Top tips for re-organising your pantry
It's the school holidays get your kids involved 😳 now that you are in pantry cleaning mode👏
Remove
Take everything out.
Discard
Get rid of food that has gone off or is well past its use-by date. 🥺
Regroup
Separate foods into groups of like items, eg baking supplies, spices, spreads, snacks, etc.
Label
Labelling your containers not only looks good, but it also makes it easier to see what you have at a glance.
Rehome
Put your food items back into the pantry, keeping in mind that the foods you use the most need to be the most accessible. eg if you don’t bake regularly, put your flour, sugar and baking powder on the top shelf. Spreads, cereals and everyday items should be easy to access.
Review and declutter seasonally.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
