Storage Containers

There are several different kinds of storage containers. If you are deciding to buy containers--shop around until you find somthing suitable for your needs. Containers can be collected from different places for a minimal charge.

The following items would be suitable to store your food in.

Plastic 5 gal bucket with sealable lid. I have even found them at Wal-Mart
#10 can that when you purchase food from the LDS cannery you can use them.
Milk Carton, Clorox bottles, milk jugs,
Bucket or bottles can be collected from school cafaterias, local cafe or bakeries
Gallon jar can be used for storing, but be careful glass breaks.

You can always use your imagination in finding items to store food in.

Be sure and label and date your storage items.

CAUTION
Do not use any containers that have had cleaning compounds in them. No matter how much you clean them, there may still be chemical residue in them that can be absorbed by food. The food may then absorb the chemical which in turn may cause illness or death to you family. You can't be too careful.
