Organizing Part 2: Shoe Box City

Okay, so the title might be a little exaggerating! And the plastic storage containers may just look like shoe boxes to me! But, their awesome! I go into Target, I come out with 10 of these at time. And at .97 cents a piece that's a pretty awesome deal to me for storage containers! And I just don't use them for my office space, but I use them to organize the kids crayons, games, puzzles, etc!

I probably have enough of them by now to start my own city! I use them for everything from fabric scraps to storing old inventory that I may use at a later date. And they stack up in my wardrobe/storage unit great. I really like the idea that their clear enough I can see what's in them.

And I only chose one picture today, because the organizing my space part has come to a stand still as I am getting items ready for the Spring show at the Augusta Expo.

      If you go to Lowe's they are 1 cent cheaper, but the same kind.

    Great tips on getting organized! I love using containers too, especially the see through kind. What a bargain you got at Target, I wish I had a Target store close by :(

      Lowe's has some for 96 cents, but they are not the same kind. I'm always for looking at organization items and prices!

    That's a great idea, and clear too so you can actually see what you have!

    I buy bins that stack nicely with a minimum of wasted space. I like to keep stuff in clear bins too but whatever methodology I use I like to stick with what works best. You can really waste a lot of time stacking and re-stacking when you retrieve things
