Using Food Storage Containers

Dry foods that are stored in the original packaging and tied off with a twist tie go stale quickly. Transferring dry foods to storage containers is an easy way to keep food fresh and condense multiple packages of the same item. Foodstuffs like rice, pasta, cereal and marshmallows can all be stored in containers and will help keep your pantry in order.

When buying containers, choose clear plastic and square or rectangular shapes. Clear containers will allow you to know when you’re low on items and prevent you from overstocking. Keep in mind that square and rectangular containers are easier to stack than round ones and will help maximize space in your cupboards.
