Shelves
If you haven’t heard of “The Seven Day Challenge,” click here to learn more. Every week, a new baby step will be highligthed. I will focus each week on how to help you make an educated decision to complete that baby step.
This last week’s highlight was shelves. Click here to view the post - below is a breakdown that will hopefully help you and your family with your goals.
- Free plan for building cardboard rotating can racks
- View the resources section below for other plan options.
- Don’t be afraid to check out local listings (i.e. - freecylce.org, craiglist). Often when people are moving, they do not want to break down shelves so they sell them really cheap, or give them away for free.
- Plastic & Metal - these shelves cost anywhere from $15 - $50. Click here for a link to check out some shelves.
- Home Depot, Lowes, Sam’s Club, and Costco offer heavy duty shelves for reasonable prices, you can get them anywhere from $60-$100. There is a wide range of selections you can make.
Let me know of any way that you store your food storage. Have you built your own system? How much did it cost?
Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting the link to the Shelf Reliance giveaway! I am really hoping to win! Right now I am just using some of the inexpensive plastic Sterlite shelves you can get at Target or Fred Meyer. They work well, but it sure would be nice to have the can rotation system to help out.
My husband just built a can rotater. It cost fifty dollars plus about five hours of labor. It is made of wood and is very sturdy and holds both standard size cans as well as #10 cans. It holds around five hundred cans and we have transformed our spare bedroom close to a home grocery.
Erin, where did you find the plans for your shelves. Are they front loading or backloading. My DH has been searching the internet for plans and can only find back loading shelves. He is willing to build them for me if I can find the plans.
