I have one of those strange looking letter openers, with the pointy
part (plastic) and slot that contains a blade: everything is plastic
with only the blade being metal. Put what you want to cut open in the
slot and zip... it's open. We use it to open those vacuum sealed
packages.

We used to have one of those around here someplace... it was shaped
like a little floppy disk. We can never find it... like now! :-)
Last I knew, it was right here in this drawer in front of me... no
idea where it walked off to, but things like that are common 'rounst
here...

I have struggled with the cereal issue as well. I have very limited
space in my kitchen and two small kids. So I went to the dollar store
and bought 8 matching containers. So now cereal all goes in those. They
will fit the small box of cereal completely. The larger boxes I fill the
container and put the rest in the pantry and fill as necessary. 8 Boxes
of cereal on the go sounds like a lot but with 4 of us in the house
everyone has their different likes, and plus it actually saved us space
compared to trying to keep say 2 large boxes and 3 small boxes in there.
I also got some square rubbermaid containers that will hold all the
package stuff. Like Lipton sidekicks, gravy mixes, noodle soup. And
another container for the smaller boxed stuff like Kraft Dinner and
such. It's way easier to find things and nothing is getting knock over
on the floor when I'm trying to get something out of the back of the
shelf. I just pull the container and slide it back in.
This all started cuz I had mice. Now we got rid of the mice but I would
never go back to my old ways. Just food for thought...haha

My cats bring live mice home. Why is it always the pregnant ones that
escape and go to ground in the dry goods cupboard? Both beasties
usually eat what they catch, be it mouse, bird (including pigeons!), and
bunnies.
Most of my eatables go in a variety of plastic containers. But I think
the cats bring the mice home to fatten up for later.
