I'm cleaning out the pantry and want to get it organized. We've had problems with mice before in the winter months so would like to not provide any food source for the upcoming winter. What do you use to organize your pantry?

Tupperware Modular Mates. They stack on each other, are clear so you can see what is in them when you fail to label them properly (me, always), and they fit in normal size cabinets perfectly.

I buy these delicious salted caramel macadamia nut clusters at Costco, eat them all, take off the label, and then use them to store rice and quinoa. This is not exactly cost effective or good for my waistline, but they are square so they fit nicely in my pantry, and they are purple so they look cute. LOL!
I also have an assortment of old school Rubbermaid servin' savers they don't make any more that I store flour in.

Ugh...I have a mouse (but is there really only ever one?) Missing late H a lot right now. Set up the traps but not looking forward the next step -- that was his job :-) I'll have to figure out where they're coming in. :-(
Ditto the Oxo pop tops. They are stackable so you don't lose any space vertically and they come in enough different sizes that pretty much anything fits in them. Costco had the assorted set earlier this summer (10 or so in varying sizes). They might still

We had mice here when we first moved in. DH and the cat worked together to take out most of them (because my cat doesn't kill, just leaves them to suffer).
My parents had a mouse problem and my dad did everything: sealed up opening, traps but they still got in (they have woods so it really is inevitable). Exterminator fixed it.

We have one plugged into the outlet in the kitchen. Maybe they quit working after a couple of years? Or the mice get used to it?
Storage containers arrive from Amazon on Friday so I'll continue cleaning out the pantry tonight. I set a trap last night and a friend is going to empty it for me if I catch a mouse. I'm exchanging beer for mice removed. I can handle that! :-)
