Better safe than sorry
You know what I hate doing more than packing and then unpacking all my stuff for the second time in eight months? Putting in shelf paper.
You know who is EXTREMELY ANAL about having shelf paper on every single flat surface within a cabinet? MY FUTURE HUSBAND.
Seriously, a jar of something could open itself in there and cause a massive explosion, rendering the shelf, the cabinet, and the entire home unsafe for human use. Not to mention the irreparable damage to our property value.

Oh my gosh. Amanda. I… HATE… putting up shelf paper. Aaaaaaugh!
