Sorry for the slow reply. A soup can won’t fit — it’s quite snug in there. (The photo makes it look like there’s more empty space than there actually is.) I just checked my local target and the tubs currently are $9.99. I forgot to mention that I keep some of my #10 cans in a high cupboard — and I too am in in earthquake country, so I use little ball bungees to fasten pairs of cupboard door knobs together in an effort to reduce the possibility of stuff shaking out. I find those little ball bungees are very quick and easy to take on and off.

I like to keep the stuff in my garage in totes, keeps them clean and I can put desiccant bags in each tub to prevent rust. I use these 10 gallon rubbermaid roughneck totes, the lids fit well and they stack really nicely/securely. There’s VERY little wasted space with 6 cans per tote. I got them at Target, I think they were less than $10 each. F

Thank you for this post. It is a great reminder that I have preps that need to be used FIFO like food. I appreciate the content.

So glad your news summary is back. You do a great job — thank you! I really appreciate your roundup and missed it over the last month. As a side note, I think you’ve undersold the good news on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine — As I see it, the good news: 100% effective against severe disease and death.

No activity yet.
