Food Storage Friday ~ What I Store In My Garage…

March 12, 2010 By tiffany 14 Comments By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

A friend of mine asked me to post what I store in my garage. I am NOT an expert on this at all, it is mostly trial and error. Who knew deoderant would melt?? Well, I do now! It was also nicely pointed out to me by a friend that I was killing my batteries by keeping them in the hot garage. Honestly, I had forgotten my basic 11th grade science class about how batteries work and that I really needed to keep them in the cold if possible.

Also, there is the issue of the cement, the chemiclas from it will leach into your food products so you have to store everything up off the ground. This also goes for anything you are storing water/liquid in. Do not store your food or other products near gasoline, insecticides or other chemicals. The plastic that these chemicals are stored in is porous and can leach into your food. These items should be in a separate cabinet on the other side of the garage.

Most people have the same problems with garage storage. Either your summers are too hot or the winters are too cold. I am not sure there is a perfect climate for all year long non-climate controlled garage storage.

These are the things that I store in my garage:
Razors
Laundry Products
Wipes
Cleaning Supplies
Soap
Liquid Hand Soap
Shampoo and Conditioner
Paper Products
Air Fresheners
Toothbrushes and Toothpaste
Body Wash
Band-Aids

Things that I don’t store in the garage anymore or never have…
Lotion ( it all separates in the heat, even shaking it something happens to it!)
Deodorant
Batteries
Diaper’s ( they smell milldewy to me… call me crazy!)
Candles (obvously these melt!)
Make Up (I never kept this in the garage, but the heat will ruin it)
Medicine
Food, canned or boxed

Although I do not keep food in my garage out in the open, I do have a refridgerator and chest freezer in my garage.

What do you keep in your garage?

HOT Deal on storage shelving!! 25% off + an additional 15%!!!

March 11, 2010 By tiffany 1 Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

O.K. I am absolutly FREAKING out abou this deal!!

I have wanted a set of this shelving system for YEARS!! They previously had only sold them at Costco, now you are able to buy them from the company!

I have been saving up to buy a scratch and dent set for a while. I am soooo glad I waited!

From now until March 13th, not only can you get the MOTHER of all storage shelves for a killer 25% off, but as a MyLitter reader, you can get an additional 15% off… bringing the price down to $293.25!! Lower than the scratch and dent price, lower then you can find on ebay and lower than I have ever seen anywhere!

They have tons of different sizes, at all different prices.

This one is more narrow for a smaller space, I am going to actually get 2 different sizes and am getting the ones that I can get 25% off + the additional 15% off!

There are even different sizes of this kind, they fit right into your pantry or cupboard, this one holds 60 CANS!!! It is only $40.16 with the discount!!

If you have never seen these I am so sorry! You drop a can in and it rolls to the back, this helps me tremendously with rotation and just plain being able to see what I have. Each section is adjustable, so you can slide the sections to fit any size can, like the thin tuna and chicken cans to the huge #10 cans!

“Food storage management has never been easier thanks to the Harvest 72″. Featuring patented front-loading technology that automatically rotates cans on a first in first out basis, the Harvest 72″ is the largest, most popular food rotation system offered by Shelf Reliance. This FRS is easy to adjust for different can sizes and boasts the capacity to hold 460 cans. With its easy-fit design and unique features, the Harvest 72″ makes food storage management a breeze.”

I know, I am seriously pathetic that I get this excited about storage, but honestly I am that big of a geek! Any help I can get with organization and storage I am all over it. I am not kidding when I say I have wanted a set for about 12 years, when I first saw one at a Costco….

If you are interested in a set, food storage or even a smaller design email me ( mylitter@mac.com) so I can get you the coupon code!

** Update – This is what I had to do, I signed up to be a consultant, so that as a reader you can ALWAYS get 15% off ANYTHING… But, what makes this an awesome deal is that not only will you get the 15% off, but until Saturday you also get the additional 25% off!

Index card method, Organizing coupons!

March 11, 2010 By tiffany 1 Comment By clicking on our links, we might make a SMALL commission - Thanks for the support! See our full DISCLOSURE here.

I wanted to show you some options of how to grocery shop with coupons!

When I first started couponing this is typically how I shopped.

1. I looked through all the deals and broke them up into transactions, if needed, and wrote each transaction on an index card.

2. Attached all the coupons that I would need for each transaction to that index card.

3. Placed them into a envelope and added any extra coupons I might need in the back.

This method worked well for me for a while. But, I reached a point where I just had too many coupons and where I could just eventually do it all in my head.

This past week with the great deals at Safeway/Randalls for Frozen Food Month, my husband has been running to the store for me. To make it easier for him I have gone back to organizing them in this method so it is easier to shop.

Since the Frozen Food deal requires you to buy $25 worth of frozen items (to get a $10 catalina back) I broke each transaction up into as close to $25 as I can, just going over a little bit. I had to guess on a few of the prices. I attached the coupons to the back, and each day Paul has been grabbing one of the index cards and doing the deal for me!

Isn’t he awesome?! 🙂

This method works really well when shopping at CVS. Infact, I would absolutely suggest doing it this way in the beginning.

Below, you will see 2 examples of what a catalina is. They are the narrow coupons that you get back when the cashier hands you your recipt. These below are just like cash or a gift card to the store. You can use them on your next purchase to pay for it. The $10 one is from the frozen food deal, and the $3 one is from purchasing 4 California Pizza Kitchen pizza’s. So when Paul goes tomorrow he will purchase $25 worth of frozen items, then they take off the coupons, so his total is around $16, then he will hand over the $13 in catalina’s from today, so his out of pocket total will be about $3. PLUS he will get back another $10 that he will use the next day! This is called “rolling” your catalina’s. This particular deal lasts all the month of March.

The gift card is because the cashier messed up with scanning the coupons and so the catalina didn’t print. Paul pointed it out and they just issued him a gift card for the $10!

In conclusion, do what works best for you! You will change methods here and there, but it is always helpful to see what other people are doing!

What method did you start with?
