The Pantry Is A Great Place For Your Canned Goods

By Mike Sherwood

Some people are deep thinkers like me and wonder what people put in the pantry. I have always wondered what kind of things besides food that people put in their pantry. I have put different things such as my broom and dustpan in my pantry.

On my very top shelf I keep all my cereal and the second shelf I keep boxed things like, boxed dinners, crackers and noodles. On the third shelf I like to keep all my canned goods. I have four shelves to my pantry and some people have more than that.

A pantry is suppose to be used for putting food in and this was the original use of them, but a lot of people have more than enough storage and they simply use theirs for storing things such as cleaning supplies and blankets or extra sheets.

If I did not have enough storage in my cabinets for my spare dishes I would probably use my pantry to put them in because they would be more convenient to get to then sticking them up in the attic or out in the barn.

Some people will store candles and jars of food in their pantry. Since my pantry is so close to my living room I use it as a closet and store games and even spare blankets in it if I wanted to. You can store dishes in your pantry just as easily as you could anything else.

As long as you are happy with what you put in the pantry then you should not worry about what other people think because some people think it is silly to put anything other than food in your pantry but I think you should be able to put whatever you want in it and not have to worry about what other people think about it or say about it.
