Where do you put it all? I had to get kind of creative with storage space when I started stocking up 3 months worth of stuff. Toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, and other small items aren’t too bad, but toilet paper & paper towels take up lots of room. If you aren’t blessed with a great basement or large house with tons of cabinet space, (I’m not) you might have to be a little creative with your storage. Here are some of the places I found.
The little cabinet over the refrigerator that no one really uses because it is hard to get to. (Buy an inexpensive folding step stool. Might just fit between the fridge and the cabinet.) There really is more space than you think up there.
The little cabinet over the vent hood. Mine was a jumble of spices, cooking oil, etc, but one shelf dividing it in half doubled my space up there.
Under the bathroom cabinet. If yours is like mine, it is mostly just a large open space. There are great organizers at Target, Big Lots, Walmart, everywhere that can make this space a lot more useful. One or two shelves under there can double or triple the space.
Shelves or a portable cabinet in the garage or back room. Amazing what all will fit on them.
Those “Space Bags” really work. You can put lots of blankets, out of season clothes, pillows and so forth in them and squish them down to almost nothing.
Dehydration of food. It works on lots of food.
