Picture the scene: a new box of cereal, too tall for the cereal shelf.
Solution: reduce the size of the box.
Here is the Hub’s handiwork:

Here is mine:

Where do you stand on the Seriously? It’s just cereal! debate?

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
I have the funniest readers in the blogosphere (not necessarily ha ha…)

Open box, pour contents into plastic container, dispose of box and liner in trash or recycling — no debate required! 😉

I’d be in Hub’s camp. Mr Indecisive would be in yours. 😊

Hi Tilly-
This regularly happens to us but neither or your solutions are used. I squeeze the pack in the middle and fold the excess over and ram it into the team cupboard.

take the liner out of the cardboard box, discard the box. keep the liner closed by folding over the top and using a paper clip at each end. Works a treat.

It has been such a long time since I’ve had cupboards…

Make sure liner stays intact. It can be crinkle-closed after each use. Store the box on its side.

Why not just put it on the side? 🙂

Also, maybe you could actually move up the shelf.

Ditch the box and clip the bag shut is what I do.

Yours is too modern-arty. His could do with some creative snipping of a pattern round the edges.

Life’s too short for the Hub’s fix.

I’d give in to Ziploc bags!! I do think that your effort leaves me to believe you were half-starved and had to get at the cereal NOW! I can’t open packaging without doing a lot of damage, but I try to hide that fact. So I suppose I cannot judge! LOL!
