Along with bins and buckets, you’ll also probably want to invest in a number of round or square plastic containers in which you can store small amounts of food. Ingredient bins and containers can also be helpful. It’s a good time to make sure that your kitchen is fully stocked with cooing supplies too, including hot and cold food pans if you don’t already have those. After all, you need a way to prepare your food so that you can actually eat it.

And that’s something which you’ll be doing regularly, not just in a disaster. It’s important to remember that even the best bulk food storage solutions cannot keep your food fresh forever. You will need to regularly rotate food through your year’s supply. Always eat the oldest food first, and label all your food with dates purchased and expiration dates. By purchasing a variety of plastic food containers, you can create a more systematic organizational scheme for your food. This will help you keep track of what type of food is where, and how old each of your stored items is.
