thank you.... brought a lot

I have. I moved here into a Patio Villa 4 years ago, which is very limited in storage space, and was OVERLY stocked as ziplocks of all sizes were what I used to pack my work lunches. They have been stored in my garage for 4 years, which faces due west and receives the hot sun starting around 1P daily. We also buy the giant rolls of clear wrap from Costco and one of those was stored in the garage for 2 years and it, too, was fine. Foil is no problem at all as we also buy that in the huge restaurant sized rolls from Costco and it is in a cabinet in our garage, so when we need it we just step into the garage and roll of what we need. So, you are safe to store!

I also store my Christmas decorations in the attic and they are just fine. We keep a stick diagonally across the attic steps to keep air circulation. I’ve gone up into the attic when it’s in the upper 90s outside and the attic is cool with lots of breeze.

Ziplock bags, yes no problem. A can of Scrubbing Bubbles got too hot and blew its seal once, though.

I wouldn’t store canned goods or water bottles in the garage. It’s gets way too hot.

I store all of the items you asked about in the garage without issue.

[Margefrog]

The accent, silly. 🤣

If you're concerned about the garage being too hot you can store stuff in the HVAC closet. It should be a good bit cooler in there. That's if you haven't filled it up already..

Just as a quick aside: I have been reorganizing all the items that I have in my garage (after a 14 year residence) and picked up one of the large plastic bins that had become disorganized over time. The rim that normally retains the cover broke off in my hands! I was able to gently remove the entire edge. That part of the bin must have been made of a different type of plastic as the main part because the rest of it was still extremely pliable. Just beware: some plastics deteriorate in the heat of our garages.

I was going to ask the same question, but I thought maybe it was their accent.

I would not store human canned foods nor pet canned foods in a hot garage. Way too hot for that and could cause food poisoning. I wouldn’t chance it.

I’m surprised about the wax paper, because I accidentally left some candles in a Christmas box and they melted into a mess.

I keep bottled water in garage on a shelf and have never had a problem. Canned goods are in kitchen pantry cabinet.
