    I just cleaned out our under the stairs closet. I threw away 15 cardboard boxes (actually giving away and reusing some so as not to be wastefull because they're still in good shape) and replaced them with plastic bins with lids. Does anyone have any suggestions for comics or magazine storage...

Can anyone suggest how I can find such a template for an 8 by 11 box with a lid? If I could get the stacks and stacks of magazine articles and other stuff of DH's off...

    I love Ziploc bags but they are expensive and actually they don't even sell them where I live, but I have collected about 100 of them in a whole bunch of sizes. I wash them, dry them on the clothesline, and reuse them over and over. So far, I have not come up with a storage solution for them...

  8. Coupons
    Coupon storage is so important! I tried 3 systems before I ended up with one that works for me. I have the CaseIt 5 inch zippered binder with a 3 inch set of rings and a 1 and 1/2 set of rings(I think it's one and one half). It cost $25. I got it on the case it site. Next I got Avery inserts...

    We just bought the contents of 6 storage units.. I am amazed every time we buy one, the things people leave in them.. If we were dishonest people, we could of made so much money on just the personal information left in the units, everything needed ~ birth certificates, ss cards, tax...
  10. Question and Answer
    What types of storage containers do you all use for things like dry mixes, cereals, grains, beans, rice ? I read that certain containers, like mayo jars etc are not good because they may not seal tight. Dont have a lot of money in the budget to spend on expensive container systems.

    Hi all. Normally we don't need to worry about this as we live in such a cool climate. but yesterday I found bugs in my whole wheat flour. So I'm thinking it's time to get my dried goods into containers that are insect proof. Any ideas what to use? Our summer has been so hot and humid this...

    I keep seeing folks refer to cold storage. Here are the questions that I have: What exactly is it? What do you use it for? Where do you have this? Shed, Garage, Basement??? How long do things keep?

    Hi everyone. I'm a lurker, relatively new to prepping, who has a question. I got some 5-gallon frosting buckets from Sam's Club that I want to use to store food. The folks at Sam's washed them. I scrubbed them outside with dish soap, a sponge, a brush and the hose. Then, I soaked them in hot...
