Order in the Universe... or at least the Pantry

[thiel]

Look here! These "Good Grips Pop Containers" are a PERFECT FIT for the pull out pantry in my 25FB -- not only width wise, but they also add up to use ever available linear inch of each shelf!

Seriously: these things seem like they are absolutely made for the pantry in my trailer.

The bad news? They are not cheap!

They look great!!!! and with their liberal allowance of coupon use they were kinda on sale.

Organization in small spaces is important.

Knowing where things are and seeing what one has makes (for me) a more restful mind and being.

True: you can use one BB&B coupon PER ITEM when you make a purchase, so if you hoard coupons you can get 20% off everything you buy.

I wanted uniformity and containers so that I wasn't playing jigsaw every time I bought a box of pasta. Also helps know which staples are missing.

Good use of this great line of storage containers! As you said, not cheap but definitely the right tool for certain jobs. We use them for storing freshly ground coffee. You can take the lids apart for cleaning, which is nice.

You might enjoy the following thread devoted to Small Space Living in the Sprinter and B-van forum. Lots of handy tips and things like the OXO containers that fit just right in certain spots:

Very nice!

I love Oxo anything....oh that I had a pantry.

Good call. We use these same OXO containers both at home and in Lucy. We really like how the lid operates with one hand. Yes, they are expensive, but we are worth it.

I sometimes find Oxo items at TJMaxx and Tuesday Morning...makes indulging in these little life upgrades a bit less painful, tho BB&B coupons are certainly helpful...especially $5 off a $15 or more item.

Where did you buy them?

OXO?
I bought a square griddle for eggs and pancakes and it's the best nonstick and well made pan I own!!!! No oil needed, eggs just slide off.
Cost a bundle and worth every penny. I think they're made in Germany.

Yikes! they are expensive.

just a note, we found that with our rough use (lots of Nat. wildlife back road camping) and the bouncing they took the hard plastic cracked more often than we tolerated (then the seal wasn't so good etc). we eventually found flexible plastic containers shaped similarly and they work well. I don't remember where they came from, we are avid cooks and get lots of different magazines and catalogs. Try your local restaurant supply stores.

Very Nice! I love being organized, I will be buying these as well!
Thanks for the great tip!

Indeed I did.

Bed bath and beyond also allows you to use their 20% off coupons on each item you buy, so if you would have 10 items you would like to buy and you have 10 coupons, you will get 20% off your entire purchase!

OMG... is that STRAWBERRY TWIZZLERS???? Don't let my husband see that. He would be right over... LOL

[Outdoors4me]

I found similar ones at Dollar General stores for a few bucks each. They come in two heights, include flip-top openings and scoops, and fit perfectly in my pantry. I'm not good at posting photos on this forum, but if someone wants to show me how, I'll take some pics and post them. In the meantime, check out Dollar General.

Thank you for the awesome idea on the pop containers I would love to see other ideas folks have used to maximize the pantry Storage cupboard ( next to the refrigerator ) space in the 25 foot FB .

Thanks again for any ideas and pictures

You can purchase additional sliding pantry/cupboard shelf racks using this link at Home Depot.

Container Store has these also. that's where we bought ours. I keep all our staples in them for the summer out in the trailer. They are a little pricey but reusable so that helps. We haven't had any issues with breakage (yet). We've had them 3 years.
Now I'm on the hunt for collapsible leftover containers that won't take up so much room until they're filled. I saw a set at the Home and Garden Show in March but they wanted $50 for 3 or 4 of them! OUCH!

Curious, what is the griddle brand? There are a lot on Amazon.
Thanks,
