The Cupboard

Foods unlikely to spoil should be stored in the cupboard. Cupboards generally have more space than other storage locations, and so storing unopened, non-perishable food in the cupboard is the best way to store it up out of the way. If a food has been opened, but you intend to reuse it, cover it tightly and move it to the refrigerator.

Here's a list of foods that store best in the cupboard:

Applesauce, Unopened
Beans, Canned
Bread, Unopened
Cereal
Corn, Canned
Flour
Fruit, Canned
Oatmeal
Peanut Butter
Potatoes
Tomato Soup, Canned
Tuna, Canned
