We have enough neighborhood cats that so far we have not seen any signs of mice. That's a good thing! Our daughter has had to get containers for her pet food out in the garage . . . she told me the mice found it this Fall and once they know where to eat, they invite their friends and had a party . . . better to get tight containers and seal off the smell of food. Oh, I just ask at the bakery counter . . . I have also gotten them at restaurants.

When your ready for containers you could try asking restaurants.

What a neat ...I have one word for you: INGENIOUS!!! What a neat idea and did you measure them first before you bought them???? I probably would have as always have tight areas to try to fit things in! Love your use of the blue duck tape.. it comes in so many pretty colors now, a person could really decorate these up to match anything. Hubby and I were just talking this morning about needing a big bucket with a lid to store our cat food in out in our garage, so the critters won't tear into the bags. Right now, the big 20 lb. bag sits in our house.. not a real pretty decor item. Do you just go to the bakery department to buy them?<br /><br />Now I"m trying to think what other things I could use these for. We do buy bulk rice as love it.. but not room in our kitchen for something that big.. wonder if it would keep in our garage (which gets down to probably 10 degrees in the winter - no heat there). Hum.m.m.m you've got me thinking!<br /><br />Have a nice week..

Soon though, when we have our own home, we'll figure out all the space requirement. That's cool that your Walmart sells the containers, ours doesn't. Our hardware store sells their discarded 5 gallon buckets...but chemical poisons have been in there...and to boot for some reason they don't sell the tops, a little hit and miss there lol!Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-46980291846006250922017-11-01T10:32:00.075-07:002017-11-01T10:32:00.075-07:00Oh, I'll bet that you are absolutely right.
