Honestly, I get where you’re coming from. I used to think homemade labels were fine, but after seeing how fast stuff fades in my basement, I’m kinda leaning toward the store-bought ones too. Not the most exciting purchase, but less hassle if something leaks or breaks. Still, props for being resourceful with cereal boxes—wish that held up better.
I totally get the appeal of just grabbing a pack of labels and calling it a day—especially when you’re dealing with damp basements or pipes that sweat. I’ve had homemade ones turn into mush after a few months, which is kind of a pain. Have you ever tried those clear label covers or laminating tape? I’m curious if that actually helps them last longer, or if it’s just another step that ends up not being worth it.
