My $3 garbage bag trick saved my pantry during a flood last spring

We had a pipe burst in the basement last April, and I lost a bunch of dry goods. After that mess, I started lining every shelf in my pantry with heavy duty contractor bags cut flat. Now if something spills or a can leaks, I just lift the bag and toss it. No scrubbing, no wasted food. I even put one under my emergency water jugs to catch drips. Anyone else do something simple like this to protect their supplies?

Huh, does the plastic ever trap moisture against the bags?

Yeah @terryh20, I put a paper towel under mine and it stopped the moisture problem completely.

Does the plastic trap moisture against the bags? My cat sleeps on top of my pantry bins.
