Spring Declutter Challenge Week 2 Task 1: Pantry & Fridge

Pantry & Fridge Clean-Out – Let Go of What’s Expired (In Life, Too)

Spring Declutter Challenge | Week 2 Task 1

Today we’re opening the fridge and pantry doors to something more than just food—we’re making space for a fresher, more intentional lifestyle. This isn’t just about tossing out that old can of beans. It’s about letting go of what no longer serves you, starting with the most-used storage in your home.

Why Clean the Pantry & Fridge?

It’s easy to lose track of what’s hiding behind those jars and boxes. Expired items, duplicates, or food you don’t actually enjoy take up valuable space and create stress in a space that should be nourishing and functional. A tidy pantry can make cooking feel less like a chore and more like a joy.

 Today’s Task:

Toss expired items and donate unopened extras you won’t use.

Then, give the shelves and bins a quick wipe-down and take a step back. Feels good, right?

Downsizing Tip:

Smaller homes mean smaller storage. Now is the perfect time to simplify your food supply and get in the habit of buying what you’ll truly enjoy and use.

Quick Tips for Pantry & Fridge Decluttering:

1. Check expiry dates – Be ruthless. If it’s expired, out it goes.

2. Sort by use – Keep frequently used items within easy reach.

3. Label bins or baskets – A little organization now saves time (and frustration) later.

Reflect:

What does your pantry say about your lifestyle today—and the one you’re moving toward? Decluttering helps you feel more in control and encourages healthier, more mindful choices.
