December 2022 tiny projects challenge: Day 4

15 December 2022

Today’s tiny project is a high-impact five-minute fix. I dealt with my snack chips.

I love chips. My favorites are Wavy Lay’s Hickory Barbecue and Simply Cheetos Crunchy. I also like tortilla chips and pretzel chips. (Please don’t judge.)

When I decided how to store my chips in my new kitchen back in 2016, I underestimated the number of different chips I’d like to have on hand. So, of course, it got very unruly up in there.

Here’s a photo of the ridiculousness I was tolerating:

It took me five minutes to bring the chips out and toss the expired ones as well as the bags with measly crumbs. That left me with just four bags to store. I might have squeezed them into the exixting container, but I knew I needed more room. So I grabbed the white bin I formerly used for my bulk spices and put the chips in there.

Here’s the after photo:

Ahhh, so much better. I’ll pull out the bin to access the chips, which will probably keep them more orderly. And now I won’t have to cram in chips and shut the cupboard door quickly. That was a high-impact five minutes!
