Bugs and Food Storage Containers

For the longest time I thought buying containers to store food a waste of money. That was, until I found a village....no.....a whole country of little bugs in 2 bags of flower in my cupboard. I then checked and found that they were claiming more land in my oatmeal containers.

As I was throwing food away (money!) I realized that those containers I thought were a waste....weren't so much a waste. So, I went out this week and purchased 6 packs of those Target brand food containers. Each pack came with 3 containers for about $2.20.

Last night I made the time to transfer all the food that could be attacked by those minute creatures into containers. To my surprise, I like that everything is more stackable.

So...want to save money? Keep your food safe from bugs.

Here is my new plan:

1. keep food in air tight containers

2. wipe cupboard shelves with cleaner once a month

3. check your food periodically. This way you know what you have, and you know that it's fresh.

You'll thank yourself later!
