All I could see was all my hard work cutting, clipping, finding the deals here, all being thrown in the trash. We threw it all out and started over. I had just really started couponing last summer and this was August that it happened.
I started keeping sugar, flour, etc in the fridge. I just recently started putting things back in the pantry so for the last five months, some of it sat on the dining room table, and the rest of it on bookshelves in the "man cave" which dh hasn't been too thrilled about. Did some research and I have read that Lowes and other places carry these strips to prevent the bugs but not sure if they really work or not. Have not had a problem since then but it is only a matter of time I'm sure!
