my sister keeps her dog food in the bag inside a tall trash can! not the cutest thing ever, but it does hide the bag and preserves some of the freshness. the step lid is also nice for easy access to it. I also just wanted to say, I didn't realize how much I MISSED your videos until you came back! It's so unbelievably refreshing to have someone to watch who finds such joy in the simplicity of life, and is more focused on conscious consumption, and not always trying to sell us on new "stuff" just for the sake of having it. So hard to find these days. You've inspired me to keep decluttering!

My husband is a veterinarian and we use separate Vittles Vaults for all our dogs. If you decide to use it just make sure it's 100% dry before you put food in, and not to pour new food on top of old food. Just scrape the bottom and then refill completely! However the easiest solution is definitely just to put the bag inside another container. Love the videos!

Dog food tip: You can put the dog food in an airtight container but still in the bag. If you pour the dog food directly into the container the kibble can creat small cuts in the container and the oil can seep into the cuts. The oil will eventually go rancid. Also, you should use up the bag of dog food within the month. I know it is nice getting the biggest bag because it is cheaper, but again, that oil will eventually spoil.

Our home is currently in need of a decluttering and some organizing😅 Our house is a little older, so some of the closets/cabinets are funky sizes. Thanks for the inspiration and motivation💛 For sheet sets, I fold everything and then put the sheets and pillowcases into one of the pillowcases to keep it all together and easy to stack sets.

@taylorvice240 24 күн бұрын

Putting dog food in plastic bins isn’t a good idea just because plastic is porous and over time it can become rancid and that bacteria is getting into your dogs food. You can keep the dog food in the plastic it comes in and put the whole thing into a bin. That’s that my family does and works great! Doesn’t have to be a clear bin, so the bag and everything is hidden. Hope this helps!!

I have never heard about not putting dog food in containers. I feel like it would less likely get bugs then keeping it in the bag. For the old tenants mail. Weekly put an elastic around it and mark tenant no longer lives here and put in your mailbox and the carrier will take back.
