organize your kitchen this #POPtober with OXO

October officially begins the snowball effect of the winter holidays. One after another they will sneak up fast and furious, but you can get organized and set yourself up for success with the help of OXO this year!

As part of the blogger outreach program, OXO and the Container Store were kind enough to send us their Good Grips® 10-Piece POP Container Set as well as a set of three Good Grips® POP Cereal Dispensers. After just having moved into a new home, these could not have come at a better time in our home organization journey.

If you’ve ever looked for a home in San Francisco, you’ll know that the search is full of compromises. You will likely compromise space (hello, 325 square foot micro-dwellings!), location, and an array of amenities that you once thought you could never live without just to make ends meet. House hunting in the Bay Area is an equally frustrating and humbling experience to say the least and our current compromise happened to be giving up a pantry for a second bedroom and bath. As someone who cooks 95% of our monthly meals at home, you know I was determined to find a storage solution to fit our needs stat.

Enter the Good Grips® POP Containers – their flat lids make them ideal for stacking while square and rectangle shapes make them space efficient. The one cabinet that I was willing to convert into a pantry suddenly didn’t seem so small! With the help of the Good Grips® POP Containers I am able to conveniently store all of our baking staples for quick and convenient access during my kitchen adventures.

The clear containers also make it easy to take a quick inventory of staple ingredients when building my weekly grocery lists. For added organization, we use a label maker to identify the less obvious ingredients so that there is never any confusion as to which ingredients are going into our favorite cookie dough or cake batters. There’s nothing worse than swapping sugar for salt or vice versa!

Our love of these containers doesn’t stop with just feeding the humans of our family. The large Good Grips® POP Cereal Dispenser is perfect for storing and pouring our cat Gabby’s dry food. Smaller rectangle POP Containers keep a variety of treats easily accessible and fresher longer. And because our fur child is quite the messy eater, the Good Grips Compact Dustpan is perfect for cleaning up after mealtimes.

OXO Good Grips® POP Containers and a large variety of other OXO home organization products are available at Container Stores nationwide or by visiting ContainerStore.com. Some of my favorite tools for holiday entertaining can be found in my Pinterest board below:
