Tip for fellow hoarders

[desirexe]

I know many of us here accumulate several tins and store these in the freezer. I am not sure how all of you store snus, but mine is sealed individually and tossed into the chest freezer. This was making the task of finding food items and/or specific snus a chore. I LOVE organization and my system of 'snus-tossing' was not working! Anyway, a few months ago I went wine-tasting and ended up buying 3 bottles. The winery I visited packed my wine in an awesome box with a handle. After finishing off the last bottle, the thought hit me that the box could make a great 'snus' box! I have no idea where you can purchase these boxes but just wanted to share this idea with those of you who also have to fight with freezer space. Here's a picture of the box with appx. 42 cans of snus:

Good idea. My wife subscribes to a wine club so we get lots of those things.

See, why I think my way is best. I don't bother putting snus in bags, haven't for close to three years now. My frozen snus is as good as any fresh have. I have a big shelf in my freezer. Snus is just stacked on the shelf, food (what food I have in the freezer, not much, I cook 2 out of every 4 days, leftover go in fridge, grocery shop twice a week, so never even freeze meat. But if I have food, it goes in the bottom. i want a snus, it is all lined up for me to choose whenever i open the freezer.

Sage - I'm jealous! I want your freezer! So neat & clean & tidy! I seal my snus just because I like to keep things separate. I can't really tell the difference between sealed/unsealed frozen snus, it just seems to be a mental thing for me. You should see my snuff collection! I have 5 boxes, not because that's how big my collection is, but to keep them separate. I have one for menthols, non-menthol plain, fruity, minty and florals. Yes, I am challenged when I receive floral menthol snuffs. Okay, I'll stop writing, it's beginning to look like I have an OCD disorder! Maybe I do....

[sagedil]

That seems to be the case for many folks. I like to yank folks chain with my simplicity, but don't think I have ever converted someone who seals to my way.

My snuff collection just sits on my desk. all 40 cans. But I have recently made some storage space for my pipe stuff and will probably eventually do the same for my snuff.

Is that your last can of Retro I see there in the middle? :wink:

[sagedil]

No, I have 6 in the freezer and one mostly full open that I am using now. also have 2 cans of regular Retro that I need to send to Slydel when I remember one day.

My next order wll be for a roll of LD white. I have made my peace with that

Yeh, sorry. I guess she let that club expire months ago and she has just been shopping the deals at the grocery. If I find one in the basement or something I will PM you. ops:

NP I will be looking for other cool ways to store my snus, just thought that box would be awesome!

Try a wine store.

Duh, we have a winery here in town. I might go by there the first part of the week and see if they have one! Thanks RRK

You are lucky you have so much snus! Such a variety... You should share with those of us less fortunate! Haha I'm kidding. I'm just jealous cuz I can only afford about 5 cans every two weeks.
