A woman has offered a glimpse inside her immaculately organised pantry – complete with perfectly labelled containers, neatly stacked spice jars, and shelves arranged based on categories.

Renei Koko, from Brisbane, Queensland, shared a now-viral TikTok video showing her enviable kitchen cupboard, with rows upon rows of glass canisters, with each ingredient displayed with its own label.

The 29-year-old – who’s a full time office worker – unveiled her two-day pantry makeover after spending just $285 on kitchen storage products from Kmart.

‘I’m so happy, I get so much job seeing it every day,’ Renei told Daily Mail Australia.

What did she buy for her pantry?

Tall cereal containers: $8 x 4 = $32

4L glass jar with lid: $12 x 2 = $24 

3L glass jar with lid: $10 x 2 = $20

2L glass jar with lid: $7 x 3 = $21

1.5L glass jar with lid: $5 x 12 = $60

Large glass canister: $6 x 3 = $18

The three-minute video shows Renei thoroughly washing all the glass canisters and lids before leaving them on the kitchen counter to dry.

Once the storage containers were dried, she started filling each jar with staples, including pasta, rice, sugar, cocoa, flour, baking soda, nuts and seeds.

She filled the taller canisters with coffee and teabags, while the tiny jars were used to store 24 different herbs and spices.  

One of her favourite products was the $25 pull-out drawer sliding organiser, which she used to store all of her family’s snacks in once place.

‘It’s definitely a game changer. I love the fact that it pulls out and I don’t have to bend over anymore to see what’s at the back – everything is accessible and functional and they’re so cheap and affordable,’ she told Daily Mail Australia.

Renei said she stores excess stock in two baskets, which sit at the bottom shelve while canned foods are kept in the white baskets with lids. 

Before the transformation, she already had items from Kmart – including the $12  LED light with sensor and the rattan baskets.

‘I’ve always loved anything to do with organisation,’ she said. 

‘I was inspired to deliver a great end result and inspire people like others have inspired me. I also wanted to let people know you can get the “expensive look” for an affordable price with products from budget stores.’ 

Her video has since been viewed more than three million times, with many describing her ‘dream’ pantry as ‘satisfying’ and ‘pantry goals’.

‘This video was beyond satisfying to watch, it was really relaxing for me. I’m happy for you, your hard work looks absolutely amazing,’ one wrote. 

While another added: ‘The rush of happiness that came over me when the pantry lights came on.’
