I hate mylar....I'm not on my storing binge like I was....I'm trying to use up my stored food as much as possible, then start again...

I will use only glass canning jars, or similar, like those large Vlasic pickle jars, my fav....

I'm going to store in these smaller amts because that is sufficient for my family here at my home, but also good for giving to adult children, friends who are in need...

I do use oxygen absorbers...

my basics are rice, salt,sugar, pasta,flour,and some store can items but I'm moving away from canned veggies and spaghetti sauce...canned veggies give little nutrition and I now worry about spaghetti sauce eating away the insides of cans...will buy sauce in glass jars from now on...

at one point I had 140 jars of tuna and several large cans as well, and many, many cans of salmon...

I bought too much progressive soup...

so you learn..

“I bought too much progressive soup...“

lol!

A couple questions – how do you have jars of tuna and salmon? I’m assuming you can them, but how did you get the meat? I have cans of the stuff but I’m thinking I might be missing something here....

And how come you don’t like mylar? Just curious. I like it, as long as I have something structural to store it in.

I have some mylar. I use it mostly for beans. Other foods I use vacuum packed mason canning jars-especially for anything that mice might like to chew into and eat.
