Yep we go through a lot of food. But to work it out makes us more realistic. Between freezing things and bay leaves I eliminated pantry moths and weavils. They hate bay leaves. I keep them in organza or lace bags in each shelf of the pantry now and this produced major results. Thank goodness for amums bay leaf tree.<br />You have made great progress. It is a good feeling. Have a great week, love Annabel.xxxAnnabelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027539528156492413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-10878888007626220642015-09-19T13:48:55.594+10:002015-09-19T13:48:55.594+10:00Aha - the garden shed for loo paper - great idea -...Aha - the garden shed for loo paper - great idea - I'm onto it.

It sure helps in times when money is tight to not have to shop for food and still be able to eat wonderful home cooked meals.<br />My stockpile is nowhere as big as yours but I'm slowly building it up.Debbie Leverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08697364796071268775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814984506642537843.post-55428065418736018362015-09-18T19:32:08.549+10:002015-09-18T19:32:08.549+10:00Vera weevils used to be the biggest pain for me an...Vera weevils used to be the biggest pain for me and you're right, often when you buy something it's already infested. Nowadays I freeze all dry goods as soon as they come into the house, for at least a week. That just means if I have the freezer room they stay there until I put them into canisters in the kitchen. Bay leaves in canisters and on shelves help, as does making sure all canisters and containers are spotlessly clean before you put anything into them or refill them.
