Food Storage Heaven

When we moved to Redmond 4 months ago I would describe our food storage as non-existent! We had nothing. We had lived within 5 minutes of Landon's parents who had enough food storage for all of us, so we never bought a thing. We had a gun and figured we could always walk the 3 or 4 miles to their house. And then we moved. I have had such a nagging feeling that we needed to start getting our own food storage. I mean, I don't think our neighbors would be quite as excited to see us as Landon's parents would be! Feeling overwhelmed, I started reading anything and everything to get started. I finally came up with a plan that worked with my budget, and is getting us some storage. We have so many cans that they don't fit in our pantry anymore, so we starting stacking stuff in the corner of our spare bedroom.

Ever since I've been buying a lot more canned foods, I've been drooling over this shelf reliance can rotating system. It so works with my OCD! However, I decided our money was better spent on the actual cans rather than the can holder! (Okay Landon decided) The other day at Costco I stumbled onto the little ones that hold around 40 cans.They weren't that expensive, so I got myself a few. I am in food storage heaven!!!! Even Landon is impressed. Here are a couple before shots of how I was storing stuff.

And now...

Whitley was helping to roll the cans in and thought she should model them. So at least we're off to a good start. And don't worry, we have wheat and rice and oats and such too. All though I think my kids could live on Spaghettios and chicken noodle soup for quite a while. And clearly we're not going to be without pop.
