Look! I "life-hacked!"

We do a lot of baking at our house... which means we go through a 10-pound bag of flour in about a minute... which means we store our baking supplies in 5 gallon buckets instead of those cute little countertop canisters. They work great, except for the fact that they're big. And heavy.

When it's time to bake we have one of three options.
1) Lift the whole 25ish pounds and carry it to the countertop.
2) Carry one cup of flour at a time from the pantry to the countertop, inevitably leaving a trail of flour (or worse, sugar) on the floor.
3) Drag the beastly things and risk scratching the floor.

...and then- Amazon to the rescue!! Can you guess what {this} is??


I'll give you a hint- it's a plant caddy! A plant caddy that happens to *perfectly" fit a 5 gallon food bucket! Now those heavy buckets roll easily, saving both my back and my floor- two things I care deeply about. (Ok, maybe "deeply" is a strong word, but still...)

There are some less (and more) expensive options, however, I suggest getting ones with 4 wheels for stability.

Have a happy day!
