    I have a lot of dried foods and tins as well as a variety of hot drinks. Just whatever would be handy for my family to have in.

    Oooh, I've already got some ideas, thanks peeps! Jem123 - I am especially envious!

    I can see that I would like cooking oil, matches and washing up liquid, so will look out for YS or supergood offers on these.

    I have a shed load of stationery which we were told to take at the end of my last contract, so that's next on my organisation hit list.

    Those of you stashing things like large bags of rice - are they in the house? I don't have room for anything in my shoebox, so all my stash lives in the garage. I'd like to buy flour/rice/sugar in large packets, but worry about damp getting in - do you keep them in something?

    I keep everything in the house.

  • As this is more about shopping than Old Style, I'll move it to the Grocery board :)

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com"]forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].
