Bunker Hill Remodel: Bargain shopping!

Today, I went shopping to find some containers for all of the bulk items Brad and I are buying at the grocery store! We decided, buying in bulk at places like Winco and Costco/SAMs will be the best because we use less packaging, generate less waste, save money, and it's just more fun!!

I started off at Goodwill because, let's face it, Goodwill is the best and cheapest place to find containers of allllllllll sizes and styles. I wanted something modern, stackable, and well sealable to hold dried goods such as pasta, flour, sugar, etc. I also was looking for a modern container to leave on the counter and act as a compost bin. A bin like this would need a lid, and be large enough to fit the compost from at least a day, until we can dump it into the large compost pile outside.

These are the items I brought home:

On the left, the silver container will be our compost bin for the kitchen! The lid makes an air-tight seal with silicone around the top portion, which is great because it won't let any unwanted odor escape between dumping. This was $3.99.

On the right, the two black jars will hold our bulk pasta. The jars also have an air-tight seal, which will be perfect to keep the pasta fresh longer! The jars can also be stacked on top of one another to save space in the pantry. Each of these jars was $3.99.

The fruit holder in the back was not an item I originally was seeking, but we really needed one. The two tiers really caught my eye because I LOVE having lots of fruit to snack on in the house. The two tier is better than having just a large bowl because it will prevent bruising of the fruit on the bottom!! This holder was $5.99

Total: $17.96

Can you believe it?!?

Also, I have been looking for a clock for the kitchen ever since I went to breakfast at Early Toast with my Friend Allison for her birthday (they have amazing mimosas btw). They had this huge clock on the wall that was just darling and I was determined to find one like it!
