3 Tried And Tested Food Storage Solution During Quarantine

Kumusta? The enhanced community quarantine posed a problem to us in terms of food storage. I know some of you can relate to the question of “How you can store food to make it last you longer than usual?” or “what is the best Food Storage Solution During Quarantine?”  We can’t go out as much as we want to right? So, we try to buy as much as we can when we have the chance – without panic buying either. The problem is, how can we store them properly? How about the vegetables? How can we preserve them? How about meat and other food that needs to be frozen? Paano eh ang liit ng freezer mo?

So, I am sharing with you our tried and tested food storage solutions sa panahon ng quarantine. This is what we have been doing for the past few days. As you all know, we are 8 in the family, kaya malaki talaga ang food consumption namin.

3 Tried And Tested Food Storage Solution During Quarantine

List the dry goods that you can buy in bulk. Here are some of the things that can really last long even if you just leave them in a corner:

  • rice
  • onion and garlic
  • monggo
  • sardines
  • misua
  • salt and pepper
  • sugar and coffee
  • flour
  • other canned goods such as mushroom, corn
  • gata in packs
  • pasta and spaghetti sauce
  • packaged cookies
  • bottled bread spreads
  • powdered beverages

Storage solution for your vegetables: pickle them or blanch them. For us, the best option for vegetables like kangkong or talbos ng kamote and other leafy vegetables is to blanch them. Blanching also works for vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli. For vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and bell pepper, it is ok to leave them inside the vegetable chiller for a week or more.

Pickling is best for leafy vegetables like mustasa. We bought 5 kg mustasa and pickled them. In 3 days, the mustasa is good to cook with tomato. Pickled mustasa can last for a long period of time.

Use a sealable plastic bag for your frozen meat. Honestly, this is the most challenging part for me. Imagine, having to store 10 or more kilos of meat in our freezer. Malaki naman yung freezer pero hindi talaga kasya if I use yung mga plastic containers namin. Then I remembered how it was noong maliit pa yung ref namin. I used sealable plastic bags for our frozen meats back then!

Food Storage Solution During Quarantine

The photo above is how our ref looked back then! Medyo malaki na din pamilya namin nyan pero hindi pa malakas kumain ang mga bata noon. And this is how our freezer looks now with the same sealable plastic bag:

That’s a lot of meat in one photo. Akalain mong nagkasya yan sa isang compartment lang ng freezer. Each sealable plastic bag contains 1 kg of meat, except for those folded in half, which I think is only half a kilo of meat.

I think this is the best storage solution for meat in our freezer. Sealable plastic bags are easy to use, space savers, and most of all reusable.

In the weeks leading up to the quarantine, there were a lot of discussions about banning plastic. That maybe we don’t need plastic in our lives. Pero you know what I realized, there are some plastic I can live without – like ung mga single use items like coffee stirrers (kutsarita na lang!), plastic cups, and plastic spoons and forks (Maghuhugas na lang ako). This quarantine has shown me as well na maganda ding nakabalot sa plastic packaging ang food kasi it stays fresher, longer. Just when I thought hindi na ako gagamit ng plastic, plastic actually saved our food storage problem.

Kayo ba mommies? Kumusta ang mga ref nyo and pantry?

Tupperware Fresh Staks Review

My husband would always comment on how untidy my ref looks. Well, I can’t blame him naman, after all, it’s the ref that I bullied him to buy for me! And yeah, our fridge does not look as neat as I want it to be most of the times.

I have nothing to blame but the lack of proper product to use to make my fridge look better.

But when I am about to give up, Tupperware sent me their products to try! Like, seriously?!? Perfect timing. I am a sucker for perfect timing huhuhu. Naiiyak ako sa tuwa when Tupperware chose to me to be one of the bloggers to review Tuppeware Fresh Staks.

That’s how my fridge looks now after using 2 sets of Tupperware Fresh Staks. That’s 2 Medium, 2 Large, and 2 Jumbo. Ang dami naming food ano? Madami din naman kase kame sa bahay 🙂

Here’s what I like most about Tupperware Fresh Staks:

  • It’s green! Which is my favorite color
  • It comes in different sizes (though I wish there’s smaller for left overs)

  • It has a handle which makes pulling out of the freezer easier.
  • It is air tight, which makes my food lasts longer.
  • It is stackable. As you can see, 2 layers lang ng fridge ko ang na occupy ng 6 pieces of Tupperware Fresh Staks. Now I want to buy more!
  • Easy to open even though it is closed tightly.

  • And the Tupperware Fresh Staks is safe and can be re-used!

Since I am planning to buy a few more of the Tupperware Fresh Staks, I looked at Tupperware Facebook Page for the price and here’s how much Tupperware Fresh Staks is:

  • Tupperware Fresh Staks Jumbo is 999
  • Tupperware Fresh Staks Large is 899
  • Tupperware Fresh Staks Medium is 799

If you want to buy the fresh staks, do check out the Tupperware Brocchure on their website: Tupperware Website. Or check out Tupperware on Instagram or Twitter for lastest promos and discounts.

Self Storage Manila: Exploring Loc&Stor 24/7

After trying to organize our stuff, which are mostly toys and clothes I am a hard time letting go, I realized I need a storage solution. I need help from the outside! I want to rent a space where I can store our stuffsss. But! Self Storage Manila? Is that even a thing? Is there really a place here in Metro Manila that offers self storage?

I am going to save from a Google and tell you my “the space search mini story.”

Self Storage Manila: Exploring Loc&Stor 24/7 Storage Facility

Last March, I inquired at a self storage. And this self storage manila company is located here in Pasig! What are the odds di ba? A storage warehouse near me. So I emailed and asked for rates. Jusmiyo! Dalawang libo para sa locker size na storage? Teka, teka.

The locker got me. After seeing the word locker and the rate, I did not dare see the other options nor the specification of the locker. Eh locker daw eh, so I started imaging the lockers from Pretty Little Liars (wala pang 13 Reasons Why). Ang liit nun! If I am going to store Lego, keribels pero namamahalan talaga ako.

And so came an invite to check out the same self storage company. My curiosity got me. Baka naman malaki ang locker na sinasabi? The location is near me and  it’s a great blog content because self storage is very new here in the Philippines.

Self Storage Manila

Welcome to Loc&Stor 24/7. 

A world-class storage and warehouse facility in the country which accommodates all your storage needs. From a small locker room to a unit as big as your bedroom. The location is very accessible and is near resident area and office areas. It is located in c5, almost in front of PLDT.

Back to the locker, malaki pala sya! Trust me, I saw it, I feel it. They say it can fit up to 8 Balikbayan boxes and it looks like it can. The rate? It’s 1925 Pesos and 2198 Pesos. What’s the difference? The cheaper one is housed on an area without aircon while the other on is housed on an area with controlled temp. The control temp room is also smaller compared to the regular room. But for 2000 Pesos, the room is big.

What are the advantages of storing at Lock&Stor 24/7? 

  1. Less clutter in your home. Imagine Christmas decors, which you only use once a year. Where do you put all those ornaments? And the 10 ft Christmas Tree?!? Or how about those bloody heads for the Halloween?
  2. Your documents are safe and secured. Your stuff is safe from flood (uy Ondoy!) and fire (each unit have its own sprinkler). Your stuff is secured because Loc&Stor 24/7 security system alerts the owner of the unit if there is a force entry and all floors and areas are equipped with CCTV.
  3. Lock&Stor 24/7 has its own unloading dock and an elevator near the dock. The dock and the parking area is covered too.
  4. Lock&Stor 24/7 also offers other storage solutions items such as racks and boxes.
  5. Lock&Stor 24/7 is open 24 hours, 7 days a week. You have access to your goods anytime.

What are the storage units sizes and rates?

  • Locker which can fit 8 balikbayan boxes and rate starts at 1925 Pesos
  • Small, 20 balikbayan boxes, rate starts at 2391 Pesos
  • Medium, 40 balikbayan boxes, rate starts at 4516 Pesos
