Food Storage Spaces can be found ANYWHERE in your home, not just in the basement and no one will even know it's there.

I have had many ask-Where do I put my food storage?  Well, here is a few ideas that I hope help out with that question. As you look at the suggestions, think of places in your home that can be used.  It may be time to clean out some clutter to make room for your storage.  You could even have a garage sale to make some money for your storage.  Remember, in doing this we are being obedient so keep your priorities in mind.  What I mean by that is this:  I had one person tell me that they "can't store water because there is no place to put it that it will look good."   I believe that when the time comes that they need that water they will realize the statement, and action that they took and the sillyness of it.  By then it will be to late to store what they needed.  How sad that will be!  Reality will strike!

Let's get back to the places to store things.....here are some suggestions.


Under the bed. You can store a years worth of basics for one person under a twin bed.



In the pantry.


In a hall closet.


In a bedroom closet.



In the garage.  Although the heat and cold in a garage is not the best conditions for food. If rotated it will be good. It is better to have food then to not have it.



Barrels could be another choice.


Look for places that will work in your home.


Try the bathroom closet. Notice the stripes of wood to hold the items back.

Bins can be placed where ever there is a small spot.         

















Plastic shelves can be made tall and short to fit where your need them.
Some pieces of wood on a concrete wall make a place to hang items.
                        
         Check for space under the stairs.



Boxes of #10 cans can be placed against a wall.


Walk through your home and take a look around.
Did you find any empty shelves,closets or other places? What about those cluttered shelves we talked about? Is it time to make better use of them?

Your CHALLENGE TODAY is to walk around your house and take notes. List spaces that will work for you and MAKE A PLAN, SET A GOAL AND DO IT!!
