We want to have more food storage, we really do. Problem is, where do we put it? I have a pantry full of food, but I have three growing boys who keep raiding it. I have one small cupboard that is full of food storage but we really dont have anywhere near enough. I think I am going to have to start putting some of the cans under the bed. Any solutions to my storage dilemma was totally welcome.
I love, love, love the shelf reliance system, I just don't have any place to put it. This is the coolest thing, it rotates the cans just like at the grocery store. I think we are going to have to clear out a place in the garage and install one. They even have stratch and dent sales! How cool is that? I know I can get my hands on plans to build something similar, I just have to ask the right people. More on this as I find info.

We love comments! We are happy to answer questions, join in debate and conversation, or just say hi. All we ask is for respect. Respect us and others. Keep it civil. Obviously we aren't afraid of cussing but we don't like anyone degraded or invalidated.
We also know we make mistakes. Feel free to call us out. You can't improve things that need it if you aren't aware of it.
If you have an opinion share it but know if it is going to cause hurt to someone we care about we will not approve it.
Most of all have fun!!

Gracie, I have been facing (and still do) the same dilemma. Next place we will probably get something like you showed. For your limited storage here is an idea, just me thinking out loud. As you noted a LOT of food can be fit under a bed. Get a few rubbermade style containers. In each put the same thing. EX 5 pounds of flour, 5 pounds of rice, 6 cans of chili, 6 cans of pears, 12 cans of tuna, three things of cake mix or whatever else your family consumes. Empty the cupboard in the kitchen and then just grab a tub to replace it from under the bed. Slide the rest of the tubs over and purchase new food to put in the old tub. Put that tub in the back and viola you have rotation.
