A Closet Design Specialist in Vancouver WA and Portland OR Discusses the Benefits of a Pantry in a Series of Blog Posts
Portland, OR (PRWEB) November 18, 2015 -- Empire Closets is a closet designer in Vancouver WA and Portland OR. They recently released a series of blog posts that discuss the importance of having a great kitchen pantry. This is even truer with the holiday season rapidly approaching.
The first blog post in the series can be found here and the second here.
The first post discusses how each year, about 40 percent of all of the food in the United States goes uneaten. The blog post discusses this staggering number referencing an article in the Washington Post. Empire Closets goes on to mention that with this outrageous food loss, Americans are wasting the equivalent of $165 billion each year. A great deal of this waste occurs before it even makes it to the table, but there are things that can be done to curb this dilemma.
Empire Closets discusses in their blog how custom pantry organization can help. Some of the food that gets tossed happens because of a lack of organization. Things expire or go bad before they get used, simply because they were forgotten about. This waste can cost families a great deal of money over the course of the year.
The post goes on to say that “the average family throws out between $1,365 and $2,275 annually. You’ll save money with a new pantry.”
The second blog post further discusses how a great pantry can help with the impending holiday season and the guests that follow. Empire Closets believes that an organized pantry can help with the chaos and keep customers focused on their families and fun.
In the post, Empire Closets offers some tips for being holiday ready. They state that you should: “Get your pantry ready for holiday guests. Write down any dietary restrictions and preferences before grocery shopping. Also, take inventory of what you already have in your pantry and what you still need to buy. At the same time, donate unnecessary, non-perishable items to a local food bank. This helps those in need during the holidays and keeps your kitchen from feeling overstuffed.”
Empire Closets believes that now is a great time to get the perfect pantry. Doing so can lower stress levels and boost enjoyment. They are informing people that “If your hall closet or pantry needs a makeover before the season starts, you still have time to call Empire Closets and get a professional into your home.”
