First In, First Out – Money Saving Food Storage Organization
Discovering food that has gone bad because it was lost at the back of a shelf for months or years is always a little disappointing. Not only is the food wasted, but you also know that a little bit of your money was wasted as well. Saving money is on everyone’s minds these days and properly organizing your food storage is one way to make sure that you are not wasting money.
Are You Wasting Food & Money?
Most people would not immediately think that food storage organization could save them money–or that lack of organization could lead to wasted money. But when you think about it this logic is quite simple. When we buy new food items, where do we typically place them? Most people place new food at the front of the shelf and push the older food back to make room. Then they eat the new food first.
First In, First Out
To save money and waste less food, the best organizational food storage technique is to eat food on a first in first out basis. This means that the food that was there first, the older food, should be eaten before the newer items that you buy. This food storage organization technique is used in commercial settings, like restaurants for example, because it is one of the most efficient and effective ways to organize food.
Getting Organized
You can organize your food storage items in this way manually, or you can buy rotating rack systems that do it for you. The rack systems typically only work with cans because their designs are based on having the cans roll from the back to the front. You can buy these rack systems or you can find a DIY tutorial and create your own. These rack systems are very similar to the racks used in the commercial food industry.
Meal Planning
If you do not have an extensive food storage supply, then a great way to reduce waste and save money with your short-term food supply is to meal plan. This makes trips to the grocery store more efficient because you will know exactly what to buy to prepare your meals. You will also be much less likely to buy items that you don’t need and that you may not use.
