I’ve used magazine racks for my canned goods for eons. One holds only tomatoes, another various veggies, and the third canned fruit. Because the canned sometimes roll out, I hooked all three together with a bungee cord about half-way up. We like to have granola bars and cheese crackers on hand and I picked up a nice basket at the dollar store to corral all of those in one place; I can ditch the boxes and see what we have without having to dig around in the pantry.

With just two of us now our chest freezer is usually just partially full. I divide up bulk flours etc into ziploc bags and freeze the excess. The same goes for dog and cat kibble and snack foods like pretzels and chips. All come out just as fresh and good as they were originally.

In reply to Jeanine. I snip and tuck the information panels from many products I decant into airtight containers, not so much in case of recall but just so I'll know exactly what it is without having to write details on the container.

In reply to Jillee. I wanted to store our dog food in a container but then I thought "what if the food gets recalled?" (which happens!). You need to know the product numbers etc. So I make sure I cut out that info bar that has the product numbers on the bag and stick it in with the food.

In reply to Ina. I'm suggesting storing the pet food in airtight containers, so weevils are not an issue! :-)

Thank you for showing that raw meat in the fridge should be on a tray that catches any drips AND that it should be on the bottom shelf!

Any food that is not stored in it’s original container or packaging needs to be stored in food quality safe containers/packages. Some plastic containers are not safe for food products-especially if you are reusing plastic containers that did not originally contain a food product. We have 4 dogs and buy kibble in bulk. We repackage the kibble in ziploc type bags. with about a week’s worth of food in each bag. The bags are stored in a box. We use one bag at a time and keep the bag that is in use in a basket in our cupboard.
