Sort Through Your Existing Stock
When it’s time to host the family for a big occasion, you may need to take several trips to the grocery store. Unfortunately, if you’re like many homeowners, there never seems to be enough space in your home, and if you buy in bulk or do your shopping online, you could find yourself tripping over supplies and boxes.
It’s best to sort through the supplies already on hand and categorize them in a way that makes sense to maximize the space you have. Red Rose Cabinetry helps homeowners just like you organize their Lancaster, PA kitchen cabinets with our wealth of knowledge and superior cabinet products. We encourage folks to manage their existing food stock by following these tips:
- Keep the food products to be used for cooking the holiday meal together in a “holding area,” so you’ll always know what you have.
- Sort through the canned and boxed goods and organize the ones with the soonest expiration dates to the front of the cabinets.
- Move bulk items bought on sale that you won’t use until later behind other items in your kitchen cabinets.
Once you’ve organized the supplies you already have, it’ll be easier to see what you might have missed. If you’ve thought of updating your kitchen cabinets but aren’t sure where to start, let the design experts at our custom cabinet company show you how easy and affordable it is to get the kitchen of your dreams.

Pitch the Clutter
If you’ve already stocked up for Thanksgiving and your kitchen is a disorganized mess, the first thing you should do is get rid of what’s no longer useful or expired. Is there a kitchen gadget you just had to have but haven’t used in more than six months? Consider donating it to a local thrift store or selling it online for some extra cash. As you were sorting through your canned and boxed goods, be sure to toss them if you found expired products.
Next, consider your plastic containers. If you want to send your guests home with leftovers, then you probably have a stockpile of plastic food and takeout containers stuffed in several places. To help prepare yourself when it comes time to portion out the leftovers, search through your containers and match the lids to them. If you have containers without tops or vice versa, pitch those mismatched items.
Cleaning the clutter and optimizing what space you currently have will make Thanksgiving day run smoothly, allowing you to spend more stress-free time with your loved ones.
Customize Your Space
The beauty of owning your own home is the option to update or remodel in a way that makes sense and works for you. For example, if you’ve thought about updating your kitchen cabinetry to maximize your storage space but aren’t sure if you can afford it, Red Rose Cabinetry can work within your budget to find answers to your storage needs.
We can customize our designs and work with what you already have—like expanding a pantry or installing a new kitchen island to replace an outdated model. A quality kitchen designer will listen to your ideas and suggest the perfect custom cabinetry for you, ensuring an ideal design within your budget.
