How do you store your dog food?
Right now I have Layla's in a giant tupperware, and Indiana's stays in the bag, because I don't have enough room for another one. Do you guys have any space saving ways to store their food?
Re: How do you store your dog food?
I wish I did...
I have ours in the pantry in a metal pail with a lid. Of course a whole bag of food doesn't fit in it, so I pour in half and then store the bag on top of the fridge in the garage.
We store our dog food in a wooden toy chest.

I have a tub within the chest that holds 40lb bags and the rest of the space is used for dog treats. We needed something we could keep out in the open but yet looked decent.
I use this one from Target: http://www.target.com/p/Boots-Barkley-Pet-Food-Container-10lbs/-/A-11174884 It also comes in a 25lb and 50lb size. It's in a cabinet in the kitchen.
I also saw one similar to this Boots & Barkley one at Ross (and it had a scoop!).
16 gallon Sortera from Ikea. Holds a 40lb bag of dog food perfectly. And since you have two dogs, they can be stacked to save space.

The 10 gallon one holds a 20lb bag easily too.

I love this idea!
Do you know if you stack them, can you still access the bottom one?
It's not really space saving, but I have this in white:

I have one for cat food, too. They're pretty so I don't feel bad leaving them out in the open instead of taking up cupboard/closet room.
ETA: I buy 35lb bags of dog food and the entire bag fits perfectly into the canister. It also comes with a metal scoop.
