    Reminder: All Food Items need to be stored in Containers

    Yes, while I was making my Anzac biscuits and about to add the coconut (which was an open packet fastened with one of those pegs) I saw it had a couple of tiny moths flying about it (quickly threw it out) ....upon further investigation in the pantry noticed that there were some more tiny moths and tiny white caterpillars, yes, alot of the packets of dry food items, (bran, self raising flour, etc, etc) which I hadn't put in plastic containers had these moths in them - yuck - so anything that was opened in a packet I chucked out....eeewwwww.......gross, needless to say I need to stock up on alot more plastic storage containers and all food items need to go in these.
