The first week of 40 bag challenge

Today marks the first week of my 40 bags in 40 days challenge.  I think the best clean-out was the pantry.  I tackled that project on Thursday evening.  I emptied everything out of the pantry and realized that we have A LOT of canned soup.  I'm thinking that at least one night a week is going to be soup and salad dinner for the next few weeks.  There are more canned vegetables in the garage along with all of the fruit and pickles that I canned over the summer.

The re-organized pantry

I've been adding more of the OXO pop-up containers, they are great for storing and keeping track of how much is left.  I made some chalkboard labels with my cricut a few months ago and use them to keep track of what is in each container.  I'm happy that I now have all the shelves somewhat grouped.  The mission now is to keep it this way!

The major cleanout will be when I get to my craft room.  Its also become the catch-all room for anything that needs a home. 

Has anybody else joined me in this challenge?  If so, let me know how its going for you.
