As we near the end of the “year”, I'm sure you have LOTS of food lying around... that's assuming you are like ME. (But, my husband always tells me not to assume... because I'm 99% of the time wrong). If you DO have a lot of food lying around, OR in hiding random spots in your house to try to store it and keep it out of sight... a chart like below might help.

Items	Place Stored
Apples, Dehydrated	Bedroom #1
Baked Beans	Pantry, Small Rotate Shelf
Baking Powder	Pantry, Small Rotate Shelf
Baking Soda	Pantry, Metal Shelf
Beef, Freeze Dried	Bedroom #1
Beef, Freeze Dried	Bedroom #1
Brown Sugar	Pantry, Metal Shelf

You will want to list all the items, in whatever order you prefer, and in the next column mark where they are stored. Then, keep this list in a spot where you will find it. I keep it in my copy of “A Practical Guide For Food Storage” in our fire safe. I also have a copy posted on my Rotation System for easy access also.
