Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

No matter how big or small your house may be, most of us wish that we had more room to store various items. Our dishes and cookware take up a lot of room. Once we have stored our food and our kitchen gadgets, things get pretty cramped pretty quickly. The pantry and cupboard space gets eaten up by canned goods and then we’re out of space.

The worst part of all? We find ourselves struggling to find the cans that we actually need once it comes time to cook. No one wants to waste all of their time digging around for the right can. Lucky for us, there’s an organizational tip that completely removes this problem.
