Home & Garden drawer and shelf liners - passe?

[sdkitty]

We're moving in a new to us home with lots of kitchen cabinets. In the past when I lived in rentals I used to get that sticky shelf liner. I get the feeling that's not used so much anymore. They do sell it at walmart and you can also get that tan stuff that comes on a roll and you just lay down. To tell the truth with so many cabinets I'm feeling it will be a chore to do the sticky stuff and expensive to do the rolls. If the house was new and had never been lived in, I'd just skip it.

Maybe I could do the cabs that will have our dishes and jar goods and leave the ones for pots/pans, canned goods alone.

Is the drawer lining thing a throwback?

I use the stuff that lays down, kind of soft like foam, in my dish and glass cabinets. I find it prevents glassware from chipping. Also in my cutlery drawers to keep stuff from sliding around.

I plan to use liners only in the messy cabinets like under the sink or junk drawers. I don't see a point in lining ones that hold plates and glasses.

I also use the soft foam like stuff that lays down in my cabinets. I want to keep dishes from chipping and I don't want to get discoloration from foods especially spices.

I have the pliable clear plastic one liner in several of my drawers and in my pantry to prevent discoloration

I use soft liners in all my drawers.

I use soft liners in all my drawers.

I bought several rolls of that stuff. Don't want to mess with the sticky stuff

Actually I am looking for aromatherapy scented drawer liners... natural oils rather than chemical. Anyone knows a good source?
