are your cupboards at home

A: full and a mess, door closed and forgotten about.
or
B: everything carefully and neatly placed.

Somewhere between the two.

I cleared out a couple of them a month or so back and found things like baking soda (use by 2009), some flour (2012), and various other bits.
 
My cupboards aren't at home any more. We had a fight a few months back and they left. Never to return :-(
 
I taught my wife the 5S system and we have been gradually working through the shed, garage and cupboards and getting everything in order. Really looking good now and if I need to find an item I never have to search, I know where it is.
 
mIX BAG. fREQUENT USED CUPBOARDS are neat and tidy. The dumping cupboard falls out on you when you open the door so we both avoid going in that.

What system is this? I've never heard of such a thing.

It's an organisation methodology that comes from Japanese manufacturing!

Items are stored by type / frequency of use etc. rather than just tidying things away. The main thing is that once you do it properly once it's very easy to maintain and you just naturally know where new items coming into the house should go.

It sounds really OCD but I'm not like that at all which is why it's really useful.
 
pretty much all neat and tidy.....however there is 1 cupboard about the oven that is an unofficial residence for things that really should be thrown out but I hang on to 'cause you never know when you might need em' I had a broken sealant gun fall out of it recently and take a lump out the top of my head! on the upside, found an eyepiece for my telescope that I thought I'd lost!
 
Have you ever watched 'Sleeping with the enemy'?

My cupboards are like how the husband keeps theirs.

I stack things in order and have to have the labels facing forwards.
 
Mixed, cupboards used daily are tidy, we have a few that are storage and look like a bombs gone off in them.

I use to work for a Aerospace company that did this, first time I heard of it I found it amusing, they took out a whole week just to '5S' the whole factory / office.
Personally, never saw the benefit but they practiced it religiously.

EDIT : A: full-ish, door closed and forgotten about - till I can be bothered.
