Food Storage...

Before I started couponing I had an "okay" food storage, but once I started couponing, WHOA! I am still nowhere close to having an adequate supply, although I am close to 3 months worth, but I was running out of places to put my stash.

Okay, wait... I'd better clarify that. I don't have a storage room, but I have plenty of empty closets. But, if you know me, I am a little OCD about stuff having a "home" and it has to make sense in my head. Therefore, having my food storage stashed away all throughout my basement was making me crazy. So, I started leaving my bags of loot on my basement living room floor. I couldn't bring myself to put it into closets where it didn't really belong.

Well, my aunt is visiting from New York and she is a distributer for Shelf Reliance. So, we made a trip to their warehouse (they're in Utah) and I bought a couple of shelving units. Tyler and I spent Friday night assembling them. I love stuff like this... anything to make my house & life more organized! We were up until 2am because once we finished putting them together I wanted to fill 'em up!

We also bought 2 more shelves for the rest of my storage, ya know, the non-canned stuff. I don't have pictures of them because I haven't finished organizing them (translation: it's a mess) but once I finish I'll be sure to post pictures!

Obviously, they're not full... but they're ORGANIZED (and that is very important)!

Nice shelves!! I was trying to talk Alan into buying some of those just a week or so ago. He can't get over the price tag.
