Hi everyone,
I've been having some issues with some of my food items going missing in the my house share. Everyone's nice enough, but stuff like a bottle of Prosecco, some food items, etc have disappeared, so I'd like to be able to store them safely in a lockable box.
Our landlord has been pretty generous in offering us a budget of £20 each to buy one such box for each of us, but I don't really know where to start. It doesn't have to be huge... Perhaps around as big as one drawer in a filing cabinet each, and they all need to be individually lockable.
Can anyone make any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance,

Lockers?
Wire mesh or perforated door
They come up a little more expensive than £20 per occupant for 4- or 5- door ones, but not that much.
Couple of ideas for use in a fridge

Thanks... These look like good options The cages look perfect but they seem a little expensive. Perhaps there's a cheaper option out there. Thanks so much for your help0
