Don’t Let Roommates Eat Your Food and Label What You Can Get
If you shop separately from your roommates, you may not always know which foods are off limits and which ones you can buy. A simple sticker system makes it all clear and ensures your roommates don’t eat your food.
In The Kitchn, hermitonthehill explains how they use this system in their home:
We had a handy food sticker system in our house. Stickers in the form of dots from the dollar store, each person had a different color, and the green dot stood for HELP. This way, you didn’t mix up the pantry or refrigerator, and you could share leftovers or supplies.
Most people can remember what they bought, so you probably don’t need to label your food, but it’s a quick way to show your roommates something that you don’t mind. Make it even easier with stickers with large dots ( like this $ 10 package from Amazon ) that you can see at a glance.
