Yes that's true now that you mention it. It is mostly the rings. I just store canned goods in a kitchen cupboard. However, we have a lot of humidity here. Cardboard gets soft in the cupboards too!

My jobs. ToDAY I am working through them.
While cleaning up the top of the garage cabinet, which has become a "catch all", I have been cleaning up dusty and dirty binders. I bought five (100 sheet) lined notebook paper sheets, FOUND a 200 sheet package (in the garage on top of the mess), and I have been listing the contents.
DD's and I already started on a binder at their house, which is listing "FOR SALE' items at both places. Their little town has a 3 day UNofficial town wide garage sale first weekend in June, and we will be ready for it.
We have been researching possible prices, decided that it will be CASH ONLY--there is an ATM at the only gas station in town, a "CASEY's", and, with regards to my 1960's vintage 16 ft long Aluminum Canoe, goes between $1K & $2K, there will be be no bartering on some items. Others, like the smallish mirror in their garage, might go for a quarter.
ALL items are being run by middle DD to see if She wants them. I was going to sell this beer cooler I bought for my late DH but middle DD said that She wanted it, so it won't be in the sale.
She doesn't want Back the dorm 1/2 fridge that my other DD's could Swear we didn't have anymore. I drove home a few days ago, parked in the garage and used my car lights to take photos of it, RIGHT.WHERE.I.SAID.IT.WAS.
We are selling these numbered beer steins that once belonged to my departed brother, and nobody wants them--they have been sold for $10 and $40, respectively.
Also, there is a set of black teapot and cups that my MIL owned but none of the DD's are in love with the set, so IT goes.
ANYWAY, We have been talking up jobs to do, and stuff to unload for months now, and you forget if you don't keep track of these things.
Prepping the now 9 binders in excellent to pretty good shape--one will need a strip of Gorilla Tape on the edge--is a job I have, now in 2026, time to do.

No luck finding any peonies for DD's. I will buy two peonys for them in Fall. There are several I saw on line that are fragrant.
Also NO luck finding any more peony cages!
And, so...I will replace the peony cage on my middle blueberry with a large plastic coated blue tomato cage instead, and plant tomatoes for them in the two peony cages on the south side of their house.
I also bit the bullet and ordered some very nice perennials for that wall, from Eden Bros.
Everything gets bought out so fast!

IF you read my new thread about which perennials to plant and those to avoid I found several of the "good guys" for sale at Eden Bros.
I also found that I earned a $25 Farm & Fleet coupon (phone email only now), so I will have to spend it tomorrow.
DD's found this armoire with cedar inside, 4 drawers and small cupboard, slight veneer damage on the bottom back, for $90.
They are driving back from Iowa tomorrow, Then another hour to Paris, IL to pick it up for me, then bring it my house.
I have offered to online buy dinner at Olive Garden, and since I will be in town
I.MUST.BUY.PLANTS.
OH, and for the 2nd time I ran my God (riding) mower out of gas.
The better mowers run through every drop and then...just...stop.
