Anyone have any creative ways to store your packets?
 
Or, how do you store your packets?? Right now, since I don't have many, I have a photo box on my counter with my packets and a couple of my RTD's but I'm about to get some more food and I'm not sure where I'm going to put them, other than just store the boxes like everything else in the pantry.

I have struggled with this too because my DH is on the plan too. We have a lot of packets! I found some shoe boxes and sorted them by restricted, hot, and cold. Moved stuff around in the pantry and store them in there.

I use the lid to a copy paper box. It holds 4 packets across. I sort them in breakfast/lunch/dinner/dessert

I've got a shelf in the pantry that will hold the boxes (still on my first week, but planning to make a decent investment in foods for variety after WI). Then on my counter I have a shoebox that holds my supplements, salt, and a gallon ziplog bag with the day of the week written on each one. I do better when everything is planned out ahead of time, so I'll be setting up my next week on WI day, then all I have to do is pull that bag for the day - if I'm out for the day the whole shebang goes in my purse with the shaker.

ooooh I'll have to take a pic of mine and post it tomorrow.

I have a box that I used file folders for and labeled them, Monday -Sunday. each Tuesday night I sit down and plan which packets I'll have for each day and I write on the packets, what is breakfast lunch and snack and I "file" them in the correct day.

LOL that's my system too - only with Ziploc bags instead of files...I know myself well enough that I'll be running out of the house often and need something that I can just grab as I'm scooping up kids/diaper bags/keys/etc :)

With my first week packets I also wrote in Sharpie how to prepare the packet on the back of each one, and a B/L/S for breakfast/lunch/snack....hoping I can be diligent enough to keep that up!

Wow you all have some great ideas..!! Right now I am sorting through my kitchen cabinets and getting rid of stuff we don't or won't use anymore and cleaning it up for the beginning of the new chapter of my life! I ordered some stevia flavored drops last night so i'm going to need a place to put them, as well as my Mrs. Dash collection, lol! I've been using many more spices now that i'm not using fat and sauces for flavor.

I have mine in a cute basket on top of my fridge.
