Little Home: Bulk Storage

Bulk Storage

For easy access to an ingredient that was purchased in bulk, I store a small quantity of it in a clean, re-purposed container.

Example: Flour in an oatmeal cannister.

Joy said...: I love this! It's brilliant and so simple. My husband and I recently started saving applesauce jars for storing beans, rice and flour. It's so nice having an aesthetically pleasing way to store those goods and reusing our glass containers. I hadn't thought of oatmeal containers yet but it's a great idea! I would love to use it for storing pasta noodles since I haven't figured that one out yet. Thanks so much for joining us this week for Thrifty Green Thursday!; November 13, 2008 at 9:49 PM
Rebecca said...: That is a good idea. I normally don't buy anything in those canisters because it's cheaper to buy it in bulk. But if I DID have those canisters, I'd definitely take your advice and use it to store something else!; November 14, 2008 at 1:30 PM
Kara said...: Neat idea, now I have something I can use all those plastic coffee containers for!; November 14, 2008 at 9:18 PM
