OK, so this thread by Adam_MA got me thinking I need to do something about getting more food in the house. One of the "problems" is that storage in my house stinks... It is difficult to get room on the shelves for much and still have them be usable. We don't have a pantry, so that would mean storage in the basement which my wife (primary user and re-stocker) just won't use, not to mention it is more than I'm up to storing.
So I started looking around for options and was pleased to see that there ARE options out there for cabinet based FIFO systems, at least for cans.
Here's what I've found:
From YourFoodStorage.com, there are a series of products that are cabinet based, as well as stand alone. Prices start at $37 and go up to $400 for standalone units: http://www.yourfoodstorage.com/storage_shelves
There are two sizes of this one available. It looks like it is adjustable/expandable by buying additional parts.
Not FIFO, but allows you to pack in some more, there is this on Amazon for $34:
ImprovementCatalog.com offers this unit that holds 50 cans for $40:
www.organizeit-online.com seems to have many of the above products at more reasonable prices, plus a couple of others. www.FIFOStorage.com is another one that offers a variety of the above items including some massive storage.
I've been unable to find anything suitable for boxes except for slide out shelves for cabinets. This seems to be the place with the most reasonable selection of DIY cabinet accessories.
So, how do you handle your food storage? Any suggestions? Anyone use any of the above items?
ETA: one thing I like about the above FIFO racks is it should be easy to make a shopping list to restock what is missing: Just glance at the rack and see where there are empty spots.
