House of Cereal
In a search query unrelated to food storage, I promise (it had to do with validating my claim I’d seen a commercial featuring a child telling his friend that his mom buys his cereal in a box rather than a bag because she loves him more), I came across a blog about a woman who purchased 114 boxes of cereal because they were cheap. Ordinarily, I might feel a little smug when I read about ridiculous efforts with minimal results. But I thought the entire story was rather creative, it WAS a good value for storing items her family actually enjoys, and everyone had fun with it. I was going to link to her blog but I can’t find it now. It’s like Brigadoon I guess. Maybe I should go back to searching for that commercial.

Let me take this opportunity to inappropriately talk about my problems.
I’m looking into getting more real about food storage and am grossed out by the whole canned vegetable thing. How can you have a good food storage that is not entirely grain based. Should I just get over it and figure that, in an emergency, canned is better than nothing. I know we’re supposed to store what we use, but aren’t we also supposed to eat fresh foods rather than packaged (typically high sodium and preservative packed) foods. I don’t want 114 boxes of Lucky Charms, but I’m sure that will keep longer than my organic granola. Maybe I’m looking at this all wrong. Feel free to contact me “offline”. What ever that means.
