How to Organize Household Bulk Items

If you have a large family or if you entertain a lot, there’s a good chance your garage is home to a second fridge and a pantry area for extra household supplies. Learn how to organize household bulk items in this Lowe’s video:

Start by gathering up all the food and bulk items. Organize your items by type and store them in clear bins with lids. Food products intended for longer-term use should remain dry, so storing food in a sealed container is a must. This also protects food products from dust and any rodents or animals that may make their way into your garage. Use an open shelving unit to keep all your items neatly organized.

Having a second refrigerator in a garage is a pretty common thing, but it isn’t a great idea for everyone. It all depends on the climate you live in. Generally it’s recommended that refrigerators only be placed in rooms where temperature stays between 60-110 degrees F. Keeping your fridge well stocked helps it maintain its temperature without overworking. Storing gallons of water in there is a great idea if it isn’t completely stuffed.
