I don’t understand why ikea don’t make step shelf inserts as standard, you can get third party ones but they are pretty pricey

My brother does this for everything, he thinks it makes his house look more grown up :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

This is bollocks. Most of the bags are resealable, and foodbag clips are much more effective if not.

Storing coffee beans is pretty Tory anyway.

#28

looks better tho innit

#29

Just looks nicer doesn’t it, a nice jar or tin or whatever, than a cardboard box with the branding on it.

All the people saying “it looks better” for this cotton bud jar should be aware that the original packaging is adjacent to the jar at all times.

Yes, that’s just pointless then (with all due respect to Mrs Antpoc)

The jar doesn’t hold the full amount of cotton buds from the container. It really is extremely pointless.

#38

cotton buds are also dangerous making the need to store them even more pointless

#39

Put the cotton buds back in their real container, you could use that jar for a lovely mix of sugar, teabags, cereal and pasta.

oh wait for ears, I guess they have all sorts of other applications

#41

not really. most come in bags which will allow oxidation.

agree with the sentiment of most of this though, keep your teabags in a cupboard in the box they came in ffs

Here is my very minor defence, our kitchen has three useable cupboards which are used for crockery etc and the products in their original packaging would fall off this bastarding shelving unit we had to get and… Who am I kidding, I’ve not got a leg to stand on here.

Only foodstuff I decant out of choice is lentils. Big bag and they get everywhere otherwise. Sugar, tea bags and coffee are decanted but that’s a battle I lost a long time ago, and shan’t be revisiting

Poor kik’s going to have a full on meltdown seeing that photo.

we had a good decanting thread on here a while back.

I have never realy understood the need to put stuff in jars although I have to say @anon5266188 do look better than packets if it’s not behind a cupboard door.

we do tea, sugar, coffee as I have some excellent LFC jars for them…

Please don’t say things like that to me.
