Save your Popcorn Tins

Did you get gifted a tin of popcorn? Don’t toss the tin when you’re done eating the popcorn! Popcorn tins are fantastic for storing short term food storage items in, especially if you have a rodent problem. Bags of pasta, soup mixes, brown and powdered sugar sacks, etc. can be “mouse proofed” by tossing them into one of these tins and putting the lid on. They are not airtight, so don’t plan on keeping your food fresh in there for 20 years, but for a year or so on bags of dry goods they’ll work fine. If nobody gave you a tin of popcorn, you can frequently find the empty tins at thrift stores for cheap–especially after the holidays. Awesome anti-rodent shield for your short term food storage items.
