Usually in my stomach... Crisps don't last long enough to go on a container here Blush

We have an understairs cupboard in the kitchen so can just put the large bag on floor but normally I buy the 6 pack which goes into a pull out food cupboard.

Mine usually live in my car boot otherwise ds (16) has a tendency to eat the lot!!

DoraJarr · 10/07/2011 14:59

in a cupboard you find the cheese and onion lurking sadly at the back past their sell by date

We have one of those plastic stacking crates that fits on the top shelf of a kitchen cupboard. All multi-packs get opened into it.

fuckmepinkandcallmerosie · 10/07/2011 15:58

Plastic crate here too. Multipacks get opened into it

I have a small cotton bag (one of those you get from supermakets - I think this one was is a small Holland and Barrett one) and it hangs from the back of the store cupboard door. I only buy 6 packs but can easily fit those and DD's crisps in there

DragonAlley · 10/07/2011 16:44

In my poncey Nigella bread bin. It fits 36 packets.

pushmepullyou · 10/07/2011 17:00

In an ikea plastic bag holder on the wall in the top of the cellar

LawrieMarlow · 10/07/2011 17:02

In the bottom drawer, also known as the treats drawer or the "something interesting" drawer.

nannyl · 10/07/2011 17:40

i get massive multi-packs which live on top of the kitchen cupboard.

if we have a gaint bag instead i use a lakelakd klippet and keep them in the snack cupboard

DoraJarr · 10/07/2011 17:43

In a box on top of the fridge, but our fridge is hidden in a cubbyhole hole so they're not visible.

FreakoidOrganisoid · 10/07/2011 18:03

My friend has a big plastic box for them and her husband insists on them being arranged by flavour. She had a bit of a dilemma when she bought a different brand so the colour of the packets were different...she wasn't sure whether to put them with the right flavour but wrong colour or right colour and wrong flavour Grin

I use a standard fitting for a larder unit that is a wire, pull-out drawer. It was designed for vegetables but works a treat for crisps.

similar to tenth item down here

Shell178 · 10/07/2011 21:07

I have a huge plastic lidded box on top of the kitchen cupboards. I would prefer to have them stored out the way though.

Mandy2003 · 10/07/2011 21:43

In the crisp cupboard! Having moved from a flat with only 2 bottom cupboards in the entire kitchen to a new flat with 5 bottom cupboards we now have a saucepan cupboard, a cleaning cupboard, a laundry cupboard, a tupperware cupboard and a crisp cupboard!

OhYouBadBadCrookshanks · 10/07/2011 21:54

I find that if you stamp on them they take up a lot less space.

Eglu · 10/07/2011 21:56

Ours are in a basket in a cupboard

DragonAlley · 12/07/2011 12:45

I've just realised I overestimated the capacity of my bread bin. I think if fits 2x6 packets of two flavours plus, at a squeeze, a bag of 6 packets of Bears. So, only 30. maximum.

I am thoroughly ashamed of my ineptitude on such an important and interesting thread.
