What a clever use of space to create an organizational system for your cans!
Got too many cans? Then create this functional rotating, dispenser for them in your pantry. Requires a little DIY, but it doesn’t look so difficult and even the most novice of handyman or woman can make it.
Get all the details for this nifty space saver here at lacquerandlace-vintage: DIY Canned Food Dispenser.

If you had done 8 horizontal shelves of the same depth as those shown in that space rather than the vertical dispenser racks, you would have saved lumber, had room to store approximately 50 additional cans of the size shown, and maintained the option of placing cans of different sizes in that area in the future. I’m not a prepper, so maybe you have reasons I haven’t thought of for setting the storage up that way. Overall you look super organized and ready for whatever!
It automatically rotates the canned goods for you this way. As you use a can from the bottom, the rest of the cans rotate down, the oldest can on the bottom is used first, the new stuff goes in the top. So you don’t have to worry about keeping super close track of the expiration dates. The system does it for you. It forces you to use the oldest canned goods first. Automatic turning of the cans also helps to keep food from settling into bottom of cans over long periods.
