FEBRUARY
The focus is on what to do with food storage once you have it.
Sometimes it is intimidating to start acquiring food storage because you feel
like you have nowhere to put it. I know my parents use food storage as bed
frames. So the big question this month is, where do you put your food storage?
My problem lately has been what do I do with all my canned food. I
cant afford a fancy can roller, (plus I’m a Farley which makes me way too
cheap) ‘So I have been searching for a cheap solution and I found it. I found a
video on youtube where a lady makes can rotators for FREE out of cardboard
boxes. Ill attach the link here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=mO5GwtSNjRs I knew that although I absolutely
love free, I have teenage boys and we can’t do anything cardboard so I used the
dimensions on the video and made a
canned food rotation system out of wood for a shelf in my pantry for less than 15 dollars.
With all these boys it is
never full but here is a picture of the final product. It holds a lot, It is
really secure and it was under 15 dollars. I painted the trim pieces with
chalkboard paint so that I can make a hash mark each time I take a can out and
that way I can refill next time I go to the grocery store. (the re-filling hasn’t
happened yet but hopefully it will soon)
Email me if you want more detailed
instructions for building this.
One thing that I would really like to do
but haven’t yet is build drawers that pull out from under a bed frame that are
on wheels to store the number 10 cans. That way you could access them easily
and even rotate your number 10 cans easily. Cause lets face it no one is going
to tear a bed apart to dig through boxes to find the number 10 can of flour.
So what are your ways of storing your food
storage?
