Love your blog even though we have opposite seasons. We are now closing up our growing season. Soon it'll be cold. We live in a warmer part of Canada. So we don't get as cold as the rest like Quebec and Manitoba. But we still go as cold as minus 10 celcius. We live in south west Nova Scotia. Most of the winter it hovers around zero Celsius.

I also pick them up cheaply in op shops.<br /><br />I like the idea of the oblong ice-cream containers, they would fit nicely in spaces. I have used those long fridge trays bought from Big W. I also use the buckets Annabel mentioned. These are placed on the pantry floor under the shelving and I store all sorts of stuff in them. I have previously had a pantry moth infestation so I decided to use the buckets because they have a great seal on them. We are friends with a fish and chip shop owner and he supplies us with the buckets. <br /><br />Wishing you a lovely week, hope the restrictions are lifting now the cases have dropped.<br /><br />xTania<br /><br /><br /><br />Taniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176661940614462611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-74630476101963183042020-10-15T08:39:23.070+11:002020-10-15T08:39:23.070+11:00Those are great ideas!

I also repurpose baskets and use boxes of all sizes. I am currently reusing a round cardboard oatmeal container to hold pre-made quick oatmeal packets. The plastic storage containers I have were bought years ago and most of the jars are either reused from store bought products or given to me by friends and family who know I love to reuse jars :)Jennyhttp://cottageonblackberrylane.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-14680326211385776012020-10-15T07:57:31.118+11:002020-10-15T07:57:31.118+11:00That looks so nice:)That looks so nice:)Cathy harrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15521916559995188320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-21700345621062512852020-10-15T04:46:57.022+11:002020-10-15T04:46:57.022+11:00My pantry is not nearly as organised as yours, but...My pantry is not nearly as organised as yours, but I use similar things to help corral everything into some sort of order - recycled coffee jars, old ice-cream containers and a small box (a bit like a magazine holder) to hold packet mixtures. I am very short on cupboard space, so I am constantly on the look-out for anything that will help me fit more into the space I do have.Tracynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-15289179130605362252020-10-14T20:03:21.720+11:002020-10-14T20:03:21.720+11:00I am steering away from glass as there have been s...I am steering away from glass as there have been so many accidents of late. Last week saw a box fall from the top shelf and there was glass everywhere as well as olive oil and vinegars. The kitchen floor was well dressed and scrubbed. I tend to reuse containers especially when sending things to my children. Their cupboards are black holes for plastic containers. <br /><br />I do love the look of glass. Everything is visible. It keeps out rodents etc and plastic has been known to allow vermin tog now their way through. I have heard of peppers who have lost a lot of stock from those pesky creatures.<br />Suzannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-57570299471367305952020-10-14T13:25:16.804+11:002020-10-14T13:25:16.804+11:00Yay for jars!

I use them for chocolate chips, made-from-scratch mixes, dry-good storage. I get palm shortening in 5# buckets. I save those for wheat berries and beans.<br />I also keep the nicer, heavier plastic shopping bags and use those to store washed lettuce wrapped in damp tea towels, in the fridge. Lettuce keeps for at least 2-3 weeks that way.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633912756265339462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-69441607515111170062020-10-14T11:39:34.004+11:002020-10-14T11:39:34.004+11:00Beautiful Wendy!

Very good for bulk items. Mainly I use jars. Some I paid 50c and $1 for over the years but many free. I love them. You have some lovely ones. I have also used contact to cover boxes. Another is baskets. I have collected a lot (op shop mainly) and they look very nice filled with all sorts of things. I also would rather spend the money on food and stock than the containers but containers of quality are important. Lucky we can get those really cheap or free! And it is fun to collect! xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.com
