Shoutout to the guy who told me I was storing my paint cans wrong

My neighbor Dave saw me stacking latex paint on the concrete floor and said the temperature swings would ruin them in 6 months. I moved everything to a shelf against the insulated wall, and a year later every can still mixes up perfectly. Anyone else get a random tip that saved you from buying new supplies?

Did you hear about putting a plastic bag between the lid and can to keep air out?

Haha, plastic bag trick? Sounds like a pro gamer move for stale snacks. Pretty sure my grandma did that with bread bags back in the 80s. Gotta admit, it's a solid cheap hack till you forget and lob the whole thing in the trash.

Airtight seal on a can of chips? I put a clip on the bag and call it good. How long are you storing this thing for it to be that critical? If you're eating chips that slow, maybe the real problem is buying the big family size bag for one person. Just eat faster.
