Power Tip

Greetings!
You know how you buy a large bag of flour and it doesn't all fit in your flour container......or you buy a bulk container of basil and it doesn't all fit in your little spice container? Try this!
1. Open the new package and fill your container.
2. If it doesn't all fit in then put an elastic band around the container.
This is a visual cue for you that you have more of that product stored
elsewhere.
3. Place the remainder of the product in a bin marked "product overflow"
and store it somewhere that is not in "prime real estate"..... perhaps on
an upper shelf or in your pantry.
4. When the container with the elastic is empty, then go to your product
overflow bin. Grab the remainder of the package and re-fill your
container. When the original package is empty, it is time to remove
the elastic. No elastic on the container is a visual cue that you don't
have anymore in storage and need to put the item on your shopping
list.
5. This works great for all kinds of items. We even use it for our different
types of cooking oils. They are often in large jugs or tall bottles that
are difficult to store in the kitchen. Put some in a smaller jar, and store
the larger containers elsewhere....don't forget the elastics!!
Do you have a friend who is feeling overwhelmed and would appreciate receiving these Quick Tips? Feel free to forward this e-mail!
