If you have a Costco membership, their bakery will give you empty 2gal buckets from the frosting and pastry fillings they use. Airtight storage that’s easier to lift when full, removes it from the waste stream, and free. I’ve been building up my pantry and this has been so helpful.
One thing I realized is, we go through a LOT of peanut butter. Epic amounts. We eat 2 tbsp a day, ¼ cup every 2 days, a cup of that stuff every 8 days. A pint every half month which is 2 16 Oz jars a month. This painful math helps me when I go to Costco…. Yes. We do eat that much.
I’m loving this series so much. Thanks for all your hard work putting it out there for us. I have kept a deep pantry for a long time, but I still love other ideas and inspiration. And I’m currently rebuilding ours after a big downsizing move. So thank you!

That’s a great idea!

Yes! Once you start crunching the numbers, it’s pretty eye opening. The amount of dried pasta my family consumes is wild 😅
Thank you for affirming my pantry truth, I love your posts.
