slo’s MONDAY 7/31 poll - Cereal Storage Containers

[Micca]

We don't eat cereal but we usually have some cornflakes for casserole topping, we keep it in a Gladware tub.

 

[CGB]

We no longer eat cereal, so there's none in the house. However, when we did, it was left in the boxes.

 

[RedAngie]

I keep cereal in the box. When I was a kid my mother poured it into Tupperware containers.

Cereals are one of the few things I won’t buy in generic or store brands. I’ve never had decent generic cereal. Sometimes even the birds and squirrels rejected it.

 

[CynBeth]

We keep cereal in the box it came in.

Cereal stays in its box, but other things in my house go in containers. Rice (we buy it by the HUGE bag and then put smaller amounts in the pantry), flour (I have three kinds), sugar, and probably some things I'm forgetting at the moment.

Cereal stays in it's original container. But I guess I am surprised my wife doesn't repackage it because with just about everything else she does as whatever is in it is used. She loves putting things in smaller containers. I say it is a waste of water having to wash 2 or 3 or 4 containers afterwards as she downsizes stuff when the original container would have worked just fine.

This is 100% me too

In the bag in the box. I eat a bowl of cereal every day as a part of my diet (along with some fruit,) so it doesn't have time to get stale.

 

[CdnCarrie]

Husband is a big cereal eater. I have maybe a bowl every couple months. We keep them in the box.

Cereal goes in Tupperware at our house. We have a humid climate, so it goes soggy otherwise, and we have an ant problem. Love my Tupperware.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I just keep it in the original box.

 

[snowwite]

For our cereal, just use box and inner bag. Grandkids cereal, I put in inner bag inside ziplock bag in the box. Keeps it fresher since it’s not eaten at much.

Someone could make a killing inventing a zip lock cereal bag. Why on earth isn’t this already in use?

DH eats cereal every morning, and we often have several boxes open simultaneously. We use a twist-tie on the bag the cereal comes in and then keep it in the original box. When we lived in San Francisco, 30+ years ago, we used the Tupperware cereal containers, but somehow they have disappeared from our lives (subsequent moves? who knows?).
