Can Organizer Systems

Much of our food storage happens to be canned goods. Canned goods should be stored in a "First In First Out" method. You want to use the older cans up first.

One way to do this is with the systems described below.

The unit below is from http://www.thecanorganizer.com/pantry.html


They come in packages of 4, mailed flat and you assemble them. They are made of cardboard and are quite inexpensive. You can fill your pantry with them. The site has good ideas on how to use these.

I was thrilled to discover these smaller, cardboard organizers since we did not have room in our house for the big metal units as shown below.
This is one version of the many versions of the "First In First Out" style can organizers found at www.shelfreliance.com. The red bags are 72 hour backpacks ready to go. The site has a feature where you can enter information to build a customized 72 hour kit.
