Maybe you could also take turns preparing meals, which, again, would save space and eliminate duplicate items that might clutter the kitchen. For those in your houshold who don't cook, they could still be responsible for their assigned meal by bringing in take-out or prepared foods. Whether you all eat on the same schedule or not, this makes sense for optimizing a small space and small resources. As long as the food is there, folks can eat it at night as their schedule permits. It might also help you build a sense of community in your home. Food often brings people together.

I rent 2 rooms in my home, so there are 3 of us. Total open work space is probably 8 square feet. As it is, I keep some groceries in my bedroom. I freak out every time I see one of my renters coming home with 8 bags of groceries. Everything is packed. I probably need to tell this one guy in particular to cut back. Any tips are appreciated.
