Nice set up!

Some of that stuff, you'll have to be more aware of use by dates than others. Love the Jiffy corn bread mix, but it doesn't rise very well after the date.

If I was you I would vacuum pack those Jiffy corn bread mixes, and other similar products, or you will have a nice infestation of pantry moths pretty soon.

For storage, any grain based product will lead to pantry moth infestations. Cereal, cake mix, flour, bread mix, etc. Vacuum pack it! Or put whole boxes in big ziplock bags.

I would get rid of those 2.5g jugs of water as soon as you can. The plastic is cheap and the jugs will leak on their own.

I bought the same ones from Meijer, and after I had bought quite a few, was told that they form holes and leak just sitting there. I kept an eye on mine, and they seemed fine, until I went in and found one completely empty and another about half way there. I pulled them off of the shelves, and had another leak completely empty on the floor while I was drying the area from the first two jugs. After that I set them all in plastic containers to contain any future leaks while I was trying to use them. I have had two or three start to leak since then. I had about twenty of them, and am finally down to about six.

I have switched over to the Ice Mountain 3L jugs. They are made from a thicker plastic and are designed to interlock and stack. If you keep an eye out at Kroger they usually go on sale for $.49 each.

I assembled some similar shelves this weekend. For the upper shelves you can flip the four rails and beams over and the shelf will then have a +/-2" lip. I also ran twine through all the unused holes, around the shelves. This "nets in" the contents without interfering with your ability to remove product. But that plus strapping the shelf unit to the wall will keep everything from spilling when we get the big one.

Do you have a separate source for iodized salt, or other source for iodine in a post-apocalyptic waste land?

 

[Trigger Time]

I save my 2 liter bottles and wash and sterilize them and fill with tap water. Some of the off name brand bottles are lighter weight and so I stick with the name brand. They are stackable laying on their sides.

The last six packs I purchased of those were plastic sealed.
