Prepping a home for sale requires massive de-cluttering for most people. You're going to have to do it before moving so you might as well maximize the fruits of your labor and get the bulk of it done before putting your home on the market. It's one less thing on your checklist after your home goes under contract, AND your home will show better in pictures and in person.
Buyers WILL examine drawers and cabinets, thinking about their vast kitchen appliance collection or matching set of cookware. Buyers like storage, so whether your property has a little or a lot, SHOW IT OFF!
Take this opportunity to clean out the junk drawer - what's in the back of that thing anyway?
Grab a couple boxes or storage totes and pack up the items you won't be using for the next couple months. Bread maker? Second set of utensils? How many mugs, travel mugs, glasses and stemware do you really need for the next 60 days? (I think I have about a hundred!!)
Put them safely in the garage or pack them up in a POD. You'll be moving soon enough!
