How many of us suffer from messy kitchens? I am certainly one of them. But whether its due to lack of counter or cabinet space, an overstuffed fridge, or what have you — organization tips and products are always a great help. Get Organized! is a great site FULL of great gadgets to help your household on track. Here are four products I think would be super helpful in my kitchen, and maybe yours, too!

SCRAP TRAP
Looks like I won’t be using that plastic-bag-underneath-the-counter trick anytime soon. This “Scrap Trap” even comes with a scraper/brush that stores on the side. AND it holds up to 2 quarts!

 

SUGAR DISPENSER
Okay, I will admit that I’m one of those people that has their flour and sugar spill all over the cabinet and countertop whenever I go to use it. This dispenser can hold a 5lb bag of sugar or flour and allows you to pour right from the bag without a mess! It also keeps its contents fresh, dry and bug free while helping your cabinet get organized. Too great!

 

FRIDGE ROLL OUT CADDY
This roll out caddy keeps your food organized and accessible, eliminating the possibility of those “forgotten items” in the back of your fridge. They’re also dishwasher safe!

 

LID AND SPOON REST
I hate when I’m cooking and I go to take the lid off my pot and its a. way too hot, b. covered in sauce or water, and c. DRIPS EVERYWHERE. This lid/spoon rest eliminates those problems and saves valuable counter space while you’re making dinner.

No matter our age, we’re all kids at heart. That, or we have kids — or both. But either way, fun is always something you should have in life. And how do I like to have fun? In every way possible. Like for instance ..

Eating my sandwiches in dinosaur shaped pieces.

Yes, I will admit that I own a dinosaur sandwich cutter:

EVRIHOLDER DYNOBYTES SANDWICH CRUST CUTTER

This sandwich cutter is so great. I love bringing my peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches to work and showing off my lunch. Yes, I’m a proud sandwich crust cutter — and you should be, too. If dinosaurs aren’t exactly your style, try these on for size:

CRITTER CUTTERS SANDWICH CUTTERS

 

MATCH & MUNCH PUZZLE SANDWICH CUTTERS

 

STAR WARS SANDWICH CUTTERS (w/ Vintage Style Tin!)

Trust me, once you cut your sandwich you’ll never want to eat a boring, mediocre, average shaped PB&J again!

How do you cut your sandwich? In half? Quarters? Sixths? Shaped?

A little over a month ago, Hurricane Irene made landfall along the Eastern Coastline, causing over $10.5 billion dollars in damage. Here in Vermont, the home state of Social Grocery, many towns, businesses, and people are still cleaning up the mess it left behind. Our parent company, MyWebGrocer, took a look at its online sales data and found that many consumers were stocking up prior to Hurricane Irene”s landfall. So, we give you our “Preparing for Hurricane Irene” infographic.

Have you ever stopped to think about how long some brands have been around? Think about it. Some brands have become such a staple in many of our lives that we refer to them constantly — like calling any brand of tissue paper “Kleenex” or generic cola “Coke.”

There are certainly some veterans when it comes to food products and brands. For a perfect example, take a walk down the cereal aisle next time you”re in the grocery store. How many of those brands do you remember eating as a child yourself? We”re betting more than a few!

Feeling inspired to take a stab into the history of the grocery world, we found a couple of old school commercials to entertain you. Did we mention that all of these items are still available in your local grocery store and also on SocialGrocery.com? Let”s revisit a few old time favorites!

** If the YouTube videos do not load the first time around, just refresh the page!

>> Rice Krispies
Come on, who doesn”t love a nice Snap! Crackle! Pop!


 
 

>> Tootsie Pops
Did they ever figure out how many licks it takes?


 
 

>> Maypo
All he wants is his Maypo! Doesn”t everyone?


 
 

>> Bosco
No one does chocolately magic better than Bosco.


 
 

>> Pabst Blue Ribbon
Funny to see how PBR started as a classy bar beverage and evolved into the staple of college students everywhere, isn”t it?


 
 

It”s amazing to see how far some brands have come. What other favorite product veterans are still kickin”?
Bit-O-Honey? SPAM? Necco Wafers, anyone?
