Extra flour that doesn't fit in the cannister - in the freezer so it doesn't get mites.

Bulbs - in the crawl space under the house, although I've been thinking of trying to hide them in the wine captain.

Ketchup-IN because the label says to. I grew up with Ketchup-OUT, maybe I'll go retro, I don't like cold ketchup

Butter/Margarine-IN, again I grew up with it OUT. We typically use some "good for old people" spread but I love butter

Fruit-Bananas, Melons, Peaches, Apricots, Pears, OUT until they are too ripe. Apples and Oranges IN

BBQ Sauce- IN, again because of the label

Bread-OUT, in bread drawer. IN sometimes in the summer.

-----
I don't think anyone has mentioned Soy Sauce. We always kept it in the cupboard until a couple of years ago my sister pointed out that the label says to refrigerate after opening. Who knew?

Ok, how about all those little packets...mustard, ketchup, soy sauce, hot mustard, mayo, hot sauces, etc.

Man, they sure accumulate. LOL

All condiments IN
bread out
all fruit but bananas in
I don't think I have ever bought salami but if I did it would go in.

Soy Sauce: IN

I think the only condiment that I keep in my cupboard is malt vinegar.

Real butter - Both. One stick out in a covered butter dish. The rest in the refrig.

Batteries - Out

Chocolate sauce - IN

Ketchup - IN

Maple Syrup - IN

BBQ sauce - IN

Steak sauce - In

Salsa - IN

Salami - I don't normally buy a stick of salami. I always buy it pre-sliced. As a kid my Mom always bought pepperoni in a stick & that would always go IN, so I'd put a stick of salami IN also.

Just a little thing I noticed in this thread. Most of you say "I keep my blah blah blah in the cupboard" I find that interesting. I'd never think to call it a cupboard. Maybe because I used to design kitchens for a living? But I've always called them cabinets or pantry. ie:I keep my mayonnaise in the cabinet/pantry until I open it the first time, then it goes in the refrigerator.

Interesting...never heard of that. I just keep mine in the cabinets over the stove with the empty wrapping "rolled down" (like how you roll the empty part of the toothpaste tube).

I really need a cold cellar.

My Pantry is a wall-to-wall across my dinette from Ikea since my builder did not include a pantry or cold cellar.

I store dishes in the cabinet, my pots go in the cabinet pots and pans drawers, my pans are hung from the ceiling. Me bad eh?

You mean people read labels? Is expiry dates a suggestion if frozen?

Vinegar: Malt, Cider, White, Red Wine, Balsamic, Rice, Cane Out Cabinet beside dishwasher

Oil (Olive/Corn/Vegetable/Canola) Out Cabinet beside dishwasher
