GOBankingRates spoke to professional organizers and interior design experts to get their best tips for upgrading your pantry on a budget. Here are some affordable ways to create the pantry of your dreams.

Repurpose Shoeboxes as Pantry Storage

Pantry storage containers can be pricey, but you can DIY your own storage containers using things you already have at home.

“Cut down a carton or a shoebox to make a tray with sides to hold small items,” said Brenda Scott, a professional organizer with Tidy My Space. “You can cover it in pretty paper if you want to cover the carton.”

You may also find other useful storage pieces around your home.

“Shop the rest of your home for storage options,” Scott said. “You might have a bin, crate, box or container that doesn’t work right for somewhere else, but would be perfect for your pantry.”
