Keep your food storage good for good

By Kayla Holman


Relax, and slowly prepare yourself for what you are about to read. Fear induced cold chills may arise on your skin, but read on, you will emerge from this experience victorious. Get ready to own food storage like you bulldoze your morning run or devour your fatboy ice cream sandwich, with gusto and passion.

It can be scary to get started, but once you get the swing of it, food storage opportunities seem limitless. If you're interested in stockpiling food for an emergency situation or are just looking to live a bit more frugally, learning the basics of food storage and browsing the helpful items we carry will assist you in fulfilling those goals.

Food Grade Tubs Small food-grade tubs are convenient for packaging tiny portions of food product or for storing quick readymade snacks at home. Made from polypropylene (PP) resin, these containers are strong, dishwasher durable and built to resist cracking under stress. Our small tubs range in size from 6 oz to 8.9 oz, in shallow or deep styles, presented in white or translucent natural.

Large food-grade tubs are accommodating to, you guessed it, larger amounts of food. These tubs provide the space needed to store more product but are still only effective for a short period of time. The tubs run from 21 oz to 3 gallons, appearing in various looks and styles. We even carry the classic one gallon circle tub with a handle, so your dream of making and packaging your own ice cream can come true.

Buckets, Pails, Bins If you are looking to store food for a long period of time, buckets and pails may be the solution for you. Our food-grade round buckets are made from HDPE, making them impervious to the damage associated with rough handling. Easy to fill and store, these buckets matched with a gasket lid will provide a thorough and protective seal over your stored reserves for an extended time. The bucket sizes range from 1 to 6 gallons and come in a variety of colors including, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, natural, white and black.

Square pails function similarly to our round buckets in terms of storage abilities, both are capable of holding large amounts of product for an extended period of time, yet the square shape sets these containers apart. Our EZ Stor pails are stackable, due to their square shape, which means they store all you want while taking up less space. These pails range in size from 1.5 quarts to 13 gallons.

Water Storage Water is also an important component to consider when assessing your food storage plans. Get the details on how to do this by reading our blog post, "How to store water safely". After you've read it you can browse our water storage containers starting from a 1 quart collapsible container to a 55 gallon drum.

Like I said before, there's no need to be afraid of starting your own food storage. Let us help you with the supplies, browse our food storage inventory and decide where you want to start. Visit our CPS Blog often to get advice and guidance on food storage practices and techniques.
