Space Bags

July 27th, 2008
I've been wanting to get Space Bags for a while, well I finally did yesterday. Here are my before and after photos. I want to put everything in Space Bags!!


Update: The Cube size bags don't hold as well as the smaller bags you see above. I couldn't figure out if I was doing something wrong, but I realized it wasn't me when some work, but most don't. These are great bags if you stick with the original sizes, like small, medium and large (and even extra large). If the bag doesn't work or you get a hole in it, it's like having a HUGE zip-lock bag.

Freezer

January 21st, 2009

Doug, with the help of his dad, picked up our new freezer today. Now we can buy in bulk and not worry about where in the world we are going to fit things in the freezer/refrigerator we have.

Frigidaire 14.1 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer
Features include interior light, slide out basket and lock with pop out key.

Update: This freezer is great. Along with auto defrost, it also has a 2 button control on the outside of the door to increase or decrease the temperature. I keep a thermometer inside to make sure the temperature is where I want it (it stays a constant temperature all the time). We didn't really notice a change in our electric bill, which we were somewhat worried about.

Neu Home Can Storage

I’ve been looking for a can storage rack for a while now and after doing some homework and checking prices I settled on these:They are made by Neu Home and they are pricier than the plastic type, but well worth it - a very sturdy product. They hold just about any size can and have an adjustable arm in between the rows, but it's almost unnecessary. I was able to clear off almost 2 shelves in our pantry. The rack doesn’t fit on our pantry shelves, but they fit nicely on the floor under the bottom shelf. You can save $4 by ordering them on Amazon, but then pay shipping. I bought them at Organize It for $39.99. I have to also add that going into an organizing store is BAD NEWS! Okay, it’s really good because I love all the stuff I can use to organize, but the checking account isn’t a fan (Doug said we could fit 2 more on the floor and now I want 2 more!!). This was posted to my original blog on May 5th, 2009 and I still love this Neu Home product. The cans roll forward nicely and each level is easy to fill. It's so nice to keep the cans off the shelves.
