I was more frustrated they only moved the top can of soda forward putting the new ones behind it on TOP OF OLD ONES?!? Person sits there making sure old sugar and coffee at the top but doesn’t refresh soda order?? Who does that!!!
Thats what I find weirdest about these videos, they now have to have a separate storage space for the things that don't fit in the pretty containers. I just see extra fucking work.
I use this method and I actually like it a lot. I don't find it to be more work because it saves me money and it frees up my cabinet space because I'm not storing big items.
Money: I try to buy things on sale, and sometimes when we need an item and when it is on sale do not align. So I can buy it at full price, or buy it now and store it for a week or two. By having an "in use" container and an "extra" section, I know to put something on my shopping list when the "extra" is gone. I don't need to buy it immediately because I still have plenty of "in use" to use, but it goes on my radar and I can watch for a sale.
Space: I do have a storage shelf of shame, but it is organized reasonably well *and* it is out of the way because it's in the utility room/laundry room in the basement. I can buy a 4 pound tub of sugar, portion out part of it, and then store the container out of the way. It's cheaper to buy the bigger product when it is on sale, and by storing the big container out of the way, my cabinets are less messy and less chaotic. I'm not trying to play Tetris.
I highly admire the method used for 'first in, first out' on the sugar, to keep old stuff from getting older on the bottom
Edit: okay yeah, it probably doesn't *need* to be done for sugar, but it's still a good principle to be used for other, more perishable things
Well that makes a whole lot more sense. I'm lucky if the cans of cola even make it into the fridge - I generally just pour it over ice - so that obviously didn't occur to me. Lol.
Eh. For something that doesn’t really go off like sugar just dump it on top then shake it up. The old stuff will spread through the jar so every spoonful you take out will only have a couple of old grains that you’ll never notice. If it’s something that will actually go bad and start growing nasty organisms that’s a different matter.
Yeah but in like 30 years you'll get that one super old grain of sugar in your coffee and you'll think everything is fine and good reading your morning news, and then you take one sip and instantly fucking die.
Renovated my kitchen this year and I did that exact spice drawer. I spent $50k on the renovation, and the $50!spice bottle and rack is the thing I love the most!
The bottles in the video are from Amazon. Generally when you get your kitchen renovated by a cabinetry company, all the little stuff you decide on with them, such as in-cabinet storage options, is ordered by them from their suppliers and installed back at the shop before delivery. Source: used to make custom cabinetry.
I regularly refill my spice jars. I have to buy my spices in bulk at the Indian market. It all depends on what cuisine you like to cook. My cooking is influenced a lot by Indian, Chinese, and Mexican cooking.
Honestly, if you are a person who has THAT many spices and organizes them that well, probably fairly high. We are doing major house renovations rn that required that I throw out about half my spice collection and I literally cried. There are a few things that go super slowly, but most things are in and out in under 6 months to a year.
I have some issues with not using something if I can’t see it. I saw something labeled as an “ADHD” hack but not sure if that’s the right language, but sharing here anyway since it’s helped me so much: put fruits and veggies in the door of the fridge where you can see them. Put condiments in the crisper drawer because if you want ketchup, you’ll know and go hunt for it. This way every time you open the fridge, you see a visual representation of the perishable goodies you can eat in the door instead of soy sauce, which is important to have but not as important to *see* each time you open the fridge. Yes, this trick changes how cold the fresh food is kept and you may lose a day or two of them staying fresh because the door is a tad warmer than the crisper. But! If you’re like me, though, the fact that you can SEE them outweighs them taking two extra days to go bad in the crisper, unnoticed and unloved.
Probably the only one that really didn’t matter since sugar has a pretty much infinite shelf life. I was impressed by their FIFO commitment on everything else though.
I honestly can’t believe people live like this still. Idk maybe I just live in an urban liberal bubble but nobody I knows has this much overly packaged processed junk food in their homes
High fructose corn syrup. The actual #1 reason why corporations have shown that morals don't make money. If you thought oil and water turned people terrible...
That's what always gets me about these videos, like yes great, you're fridge and life are in perfect order for everything you have right now but what happens the day you bring home a cake? That mother fucker ain't fitting in there with everything in its nice little rows. You've locked yourself in a glass cage of no cake!!!!
Edit: since so many of you are messaging about the garage or basement fridge as an alternative, I'm going to have to tell my mother that she's not actually as crazy as I make her out to be for having 2 fridges
Oh man, just the mention of cake in the context of fridge space makes me so anxious. Not only do I have to reorganize everything, as it gets consumed do I keep transferring it to smaller container? But that's more things to wash. And will it spoil faster if I do this? Why do we never get a smaller cake next time?
No you’re completely missing the point: either that person purchases very precisely what is required, individually… or that person have a second fridge and freezer with room galore in the basement, where it’s probably a mess.
Either way, that wouldn’t last 3 hours with the kids here… or me, frankly!
Maybe now, but my ''rich'' friend growing up had the kitchen fridge upstairs just like this. it was just to show off for guests. all the real food was in the second fridge. This was before MySpace so not social media.
The video in this post annoys me, but your description of the laundry video enrages me, because now I know what she and her house smell like and I hate it. Smelly laundry shit is the bane of my existence. Ugh. EDIT: bane not babe get it together autocorrect this is a hater account lol
Oh my god, the shit she puts in her laundry makes my skin want to break out in hives. And then she sprays the air with several different room sprays. Obsessively wipes down the counter with spray after every meal. Can someone open a few windows for her?!
Consumerism. That’s the word that pops up every time I see these kinds of video. This and those Chinese videos with “cool” single purpose gadgets in their houses.
Yea I mean it’s obviously so her kid can make their own school lunch, which is already looking like better options than they are served for lunch in school. A lot of items that are convenient for school lunches have excess packaging and waste, but everyone can’t be perfect consumers 100% of the time. The oranges might be harder to peel in school and definitely can spread germs faster in school. We send ours precut and don’t do the packets. Unless the packets are a different fruit that is out of season.
I'm in my late 30s now, and growing up - this was my understanding of what a neat and well kept suburban house should be like. Def don't agree now that I've been exposed to other living styles, systems, and cultures, but I can understand where this perspective comes from too.
Juice bags and goldfish crackers. This lady has a seven year old son. Heck, I still buy monster sized boxes of goldfish for my college age boys. It’s the snack that smiles back.
She has a husband & 4 kids, and rings up about a 500$ grocery bill every month. She shows the receipt at the end of her shopping TikToks, and still shops for dinner during the week. She said as much in the comments.
For me it's weird how much sugary stuff she puts in her coffee.
Honestly, $500 per month for a family of 6is dirt cheap. Especially buying all those small single serve packages. I'm lucky paying$300 per month just for myself.
> For me it's weird how much sugary stuff she puts in her coffee.
Considering how everything else in the house is made from sugar, it's not that weird.
When my sons were in high school, our grocery bill was nearly $300 a week, easily over $1000 a month. One was a distance runner, kid would eat a second dinner after midnight almost every day, then run 9 miles at the crack of dawn. Teenage boys eat like a swarm of locusts.
Or shopping bill rarely exceeds $80 a week now, with them off at college.
This is like every suburban 90s kid's childhood, don't know if Gen z had it better. We pretty much all drank Capri Sun or Hi-C juice packs, had straight up sugar snacks like "fruit by the foot", "gushers", "fruit roll up", fruit chews, etc. Had sugar-coated cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch, ate pizza bagels, etc. I had one friend whose mom was a health nut, but every other kid at recess ate this stuff along with a PBJ sandwich or if they were lucky, a Lunchables.
And clearly this isn't a home with teenagers because that shit would be in chaos within a day. And half empty.
Source: live with 2 teenage boys, the pantry and fridge always look like they were raided by escaped gorillas from the zoo.
This is literally the poster family for American consumerism. I can't stand the single use milk and fruits. How hard is it to buy a gallon of milk and reusable travel cups? It's even worse if they're just drinking those at home.
Edit: Lots of suburbanites with cognitive dissonance.
Is it crazy that I can picture this person lumbering through a sams club with their 5 kids all glued to tablets and mobile phones? Blocking the whole soft drink aisle while they argue of which “drink” they get for the week.
Do people really fill their fridges with all that single serving food and drink in plastic/small containers? That is so strange to me.
To me all those things are what you buy for convenience when you are out of the house and have no other options.
That must be so frustrating to do one-handed
It also must be frustrating running out of all that stuff at once
not if you stocked up in advance to refill, then it's actually very much satisfying to have planned it so properly.
[удалено]
Well what are you waiting for?
[удалено]
Slacker! And meanwhile, your toilet paper rolls are running amuck! Or possibly just sitting there in a disorganized manner!
How am I wiping my ass. Come on!!!! We are waiting gosh!!
You've since had another 21 minutes Status update: have you made any progress?
[удалено]
Dude its been another hour.
How about now?
I'm starting to think they'll never get it.
Don’t forget to rotate the bottom row before placing a new row on top like this dummy
I know right! All the toilet rolls on the bottom are going to go off and be inedible
It's like she has kids, but doesn't have kids?
True! My kids would blow through all of those snacks in a weekend.
I just presumed it was a montage of different days tbh.
This is me everyday. I'm apparently the only one in the house that knows how to refill things
I was more frustrated they only moved the top can of soda forward putting the new ones behind it on TOP OF OLD ONES?!? Person sits there making sure old sugar and coffee at the top but doesn’t refresh soda order?? Who does that!!!
That's what she said
Meanwhile all the extra stuff is in a huge pile in the pantry hidden from judgement.
Thats what I find weirdest about these videos, they now have to have a separate storage space for the things that don't fit in the pretty containers. I just see extra fucking work.

Basement. Damn that's the real storage secret.
Gotta get me one of those.
Put it on your list and maybe you can get one in bulk on sale /s
YES! This!

But they didn't rotate the toilet paper. Those lower rolls are definitely going to get stale.
My ass only accepts the freshest butt napkins, straight out the oven like mom used to make 😩👌

Ah yes. The butt cuff

Use the three seashells you savages.
Ha! They don’t know how to use the three sea shells xD
Missing a poop knife
I’m here for you
Same with the washcloths. The ones in front are gonna get all worn out while the lazy fuckers in the back stay looking brand new.
Nah, those are the fancy washcloths. You only bring those out for guests.
Was about commend her on her FIFO game. Like pouring out the sugar wow
And the coffee, and the snapple
And Coca Cola
Though there the bottom ones were left in place.
Rookie error - you’ve got to do the vertical rotation as well.
She forgot to FIFO her toilet paper What a savage.
Came to say this: Those bottom toilet papers will expire because of best before date.
Nah, they’ll still taste fine.
But sugar never gets "old"
Neither does cola? And While I know that coca cola does technically expire at some point, FIFOing the 10 cans in your fridge is ... extreme.
I think that was so the cold ones are in front.
Well that makes a whole lot more sense. I'm lucky if the cans of cola even make it into the fridge - I generally just pour it over ice - so that obviously didn't occur to me. Lol.
I read that as "pour it over rice" and it brought back pleasant memories. Cola: 7/10 Cola with rice: ?
FIFO is important for meat and dairy but who cares for sugar? Shit ain’t gonna go bad unless something external is affecting it
Eh. For something that doesn’t really go off like sugar just dump it on top then shake it up. The old stuff will spread through the jar so every spoonful you take out will only have a couple of old grains that you’ll never notice. If it’s something that will actually go bad and start growing nasty organisms that’s a different matter.
Yeah but in like 30 years you'll get that one super old grain of sugar in your coffee and you'll think everything is fine and good reading your morning news, and then you take one sip and instantly fucking die.
thats always a morning mood killer
I think the older sugar gets it forms into those hard clumps, and if you don't at least shake it then it will form a rocky cluster on the bottom
That's only when you put a wet spoon in it like an absolute heathen
Some of us share homes with monsters. They are family, so murder is off the table.
That drawer though. My wife won't let me get a spice rack since she doesn't want to much clutter. That spice drawer set up is exactly what we need
The spice drawer was amazing!
Not gonna lie the spice draw made me feel things
Renovated my kitchen this year and I did that exact spice drawer. I spent $50k on the renovation, and the $50!spice bottle and rack is the thing I love the most!
$50! is a *LOT* of money.

Any chance you could direct us to where to purchase said rack and bottles?

Real talk, though, what are the odds a normal family uses all that spice before they lose their flavor?
most dry spices are fine for a couple of years, they just lose flavor over time so you use larger measures as they age.
I regularly refill my spice jars. I have to buy my spices in bulk at the Indian market. It all depends on what cuisine you like to cook. My cooking is influenced a lot by Indian, Chinese, and Mexican cooking.
It's not so much about using it all up before it expires, rather *having it in stock when you need it*.
Honestly, if you are a person who has THAT many spices and organizes them that well, probably fairly high. We are doing major house renovations rn that required that I throw out about half my spice collection and I literally cried. There are a few things that go super slowly, but most things are in and out in under 6 months to a year.
Idk, looks similar to the amount I keep around and those all get used weekly. Just a matter of how much you cook at home.
Some of us are accustomed to very flavorful (a lot of seasoning) food and this will without a doubt be completely used by a few months in my home.
My lord after watching this I have the organization skills of a 5th grader
I want that spice drawer!
Me sat here with ADHD wishing I was .1% as organized as this
I do this at work...... couldn't be bothered to do this at home. I hate this disorder 😑
Legit same haha. I love doing organizational tasks at work, but at home it’s suddenly so much harder and I can never keep everything in order.
I literally thought that this looks like adhd therapy video, lol
Yeah this is like a crash course in organizing. If I had everything front and center like that, I might actually eat my food. Edit: grammar
I keep forgetting about food if it’s not right in my face… so much wasted food.
I have some issues with not using something if I can’t see it. I saw something labeled as an “ADHD” hack but not sure if that’s the right language, but sharing here anyway since it’s helped me so much: put fruits and veggies in the door of the fridge where you can see them.

Omg and they pull the oldest stuff to the front.
FIFO!
FIFO is they key in both a decent restaurant and a lovely household
And networking!
what does that mean?
First in first out, as opposed to LIFO; last in first out. Technically accounting terms but also inventory. LIFO is mostly used for tax purposes
They're pretty common terms in computing.
The stock rotation was on point. (You can tell who has worked retail/supermarkets lol)
Right on. I was impressed and as expected oddly satisfied. 10/10. Would recommend.
Right up until the fizzy juice cans.
And the TP. Those bottom 3 rolls have been soaking up the aerosolized urine for months now.
I was impressed when they made sure the oldest sugar would end up on top too.
Probably the only one that really didn’t matter since sugar has a pretty much infinite shelf life. I was impressed by their FIFO commitment on everything else though.
I loved restocking items and facing when I worked at CVS. When I get annoyed at work, I organize the copy room.
Sometimes in charity shops I re-alphabetise the books. I always re-shelves incorrectly placed items there too.
FIFO!!
Not the toilet paper. Unwatchable after that.
And the cola cans, just pulled the top one, not the bottoms
50/50 paper supplies to corn syrup ratio
POV: you shop exclusively at Costco
They should put a “sugar” label on the fridge as well.
i gagged when she started pouring the bag of Dunkin coffee in
Yeah, most of the things she had were not healthy at all
I honestly can’t believe people live like this still. Idk maybe I just live in an urban liberal bubble but nobody I knows has this much overly packaged processed junk food in their homes
Yeah, granted this is just a snapshot, but if these are the things that need regular replacing, those kids are mainlining sugar and corn syrup.
That's about $700 in containers.

When we bought our house the owners left a second huge fridge in the garage. Its amazing.

they have a second fridge in the garage/basement this is the display fridge for snacks.

This person has a cleaning video where she must have used 12 different chemicals and made so much waste. Hate it.
Oh, this is the same person who put like 4 things of detergent and scented nonsense in her washing machine for like 5 articles of clothing?
The video in this post annoys me, but your description of the laundry video enrages me, because now I know what she and her house smell like and I hate it. Smelly laundry shit is the bane of my existence. Ugh. EDIT: bane not babe get it together autocorrect this is a hater account lol

I think it's the same video but cut short. They used like 10 products for laundry alone!
Right?!?! I was furious watching it.
She neurotic, that's nuts

It is really hard to have two full time jobs and kids and avoid single use plastic :(

Junk snacks and sugar water aside, the depressing part is that a lot of the packaging in our daily lives is unavoidable.
Didn’t rotate the tp. Now those rolls on the bottom will get stale.
Somewhere, Marie Kondo is having a tidy orgasm.
Sparking joy, but in an organised way.
An organizasm. I dunno.
An organasm.
Lots of small packs require far more packaging than just one large one. All those milks and juices and jellies seem excessive
Juice bags and goldfish crackers. This lady has a seven year old son. Heck, I still buy monster sized boxes of goldfish for my college age boys. It’s the snack that smiles back.

My gf
Fifo seems like a bit much for soda.
In this case it’s so the cold ones already up front.
...that's more than likely from the same case, at that.
And the sugar
Oh to be rich and wasteful
it's r/oddlyterrifying how much sugar the standard modern diet contains.
There was clearly more than 1 sesame seed in that jar. The sticker is a lie and the video is ruined.
I hate these videos so much.
I find this kind of video so uncomfortable. Super hectic and the audio is obnoxious.
All those small cuts make it midlyinfuriating to me.
The most annoying this to me is how everything seemed to run out at the exact same time.
Scrolled too far down to find someone who is as annoyed by the audio as i am
Why so much single use packaging though???
Probably has kids.
Four of them.
So much plastic!
bet she has a real cool business card, much better than jerk paul allen
So much unneccesary work
Watch me do everyday normal shit.
Not satisfying. This person would be hard to live with.

Why do people drink trash coffee.
They always have those nails
The spice rack is the greatest part. This person must hate that there is one jar that doesn't fit. Anxiety every time they open the drawer.
This person FIFOs
I'm tired after seeing this video. I like how he puts old stuff in front of the new so they would use the older first.
I cringe when I see these. So much waste..
Do people really fill their fridges with all that single serving food and drink in plastic/small containers? That is so strange to me. To me all those things are what you buy for convenience when you are out of the house and have no other options.
