Organising food cupboards - help please

I need to sort my food cupboards into some logical order. Kitchen is quite small so limited cupboard space and food is shoved in randomly.
I've been getting online deliveries and have to get stuff put away quickly as dd wants to open it all up! I just end up putting it all away in no order and it's a right mess.
There is a big deep pull out drawer that I was using for crisps & snacks but this has proved a bad idea as dd & ds just go and raid it and help themselves when I don't always want them to, especially dd who's only 2.5.

Please tell how you organise your food in your cupboards?

I only have 2 food cupboards - one has dried goods on bottom shelf, tinned on top shelf.
The other has "other" inc spices, condiments etc on top shelf and a basket on bottom shelf with root veg, bread, biscuits etc in it.
There's also a big (huge) tupperware clippy box on that bottom shelf with nuts, raisins etc in it.

Not super organised here, I'm afraid, but we do only have two smallish cupboards that are used for everyday stuff.

Rice, couscous, honey, gravy granules, teabags (fancy ones, not everyday ones), brown sugar (porridge, v important!) ?

Jars galore in second cupboard (new potatoes, lentil etc), tins, dc biscuits and smarties, bag of nuts, pasta sauce,s, vinaigrette.

We are fortunate enough to have both a large utility room and a set of wine bottle shelves down the side of the fridge (rented house), so we have space for the extra bags of pasta on offer, the extra jars etc, and space to put a 6 pack of bottles water, or wine -last year's brandy for making Christmas pudding is still there!! Half full and mocking me!

we do have some food out on the counter in tins/tupperware that woukd otherwise take up too much cupboard space: porridge, pasta, Yorkshire teabags,
.

Hope that helps a bit! Oh, and any crisps etc are put in a high cupboard above the fridge where dc can't reach Grin
