Every pantry is a tiny store. Merchandise it beautifully.

• Nothing expired, nothing opened. (Past "best by" up to 7 days is okay — "use by" is the hard line.)
• Think about the weather — most boxes aren't heated or cooled, so the outdoor temp is the pantry temp.
• Keep it neat. Face the labels out, like a shop shelf.
• A pack of disinfectant wipes is always a hero move.
• Taking something? Take what you need, leave something if you can.
• Small counts. That sauce nobody liked is somebody's dinner tonight.

Got it
