Where Can You Put This Supply?
The biggest thing is to make your supply accessible
Some people have the luxury of a food storage room or a lot of space in which they can establish a food storage station. If that is not you, here are a few ideas.
- Plastic “Under the bed boxes” with wheels work well and are easily accessible under beds and sofas. It is even possible to put beds up on blocks like many college kids do now to facilitate more storage space.
- Pantry pail buckets can stack three high in a closet or out-of-the-way corners without taking up a lot of space.
- It is possible to add a high shelf to the top of many closets. While you will need a good step stool to access this space it can be done.
- If you really don’t have space and you are serious about food storage you may even build storage space into a hallway in between the studs in your wall (Canning jars and refrigerator bottles will fit there.) or you can hinge stairs and add reinforcement underneath to hold items. Food storage furniture also works.
- Stacking bins or cinder block shelves may work for the most accessible area.
- If you only have space to make part of your supply accessible then box up the rest in three evenly distributed boxes and take out another box when the part you had out is used.
- Where there’s a will, there’s a way!
