Organising Grocery Items

Organising Grocery Items

      Here I have made different categories for grocery items which we use in our daily cooking.

• Make a list of all the grocery items you use in the kitchen.
• Items like Dals, flour, rice and other related to breakfast are regularly used. Other items are not used regularly. 
• You can include items according to your choice and use.
• When grocery items are organized, you will save time, save energy in searching where what item is kept and avoid food wastage.
• This is helpful for both stay at home mom and working woman.
• Storing spices in separate bottles will avoid pests.
