My favorite and most-used organization tool around my home is a clear plastic shoe box. They are available at big box stores and dollar stores. The ones I purchase are branded by the Container Store. You can find them here.
Here’s why I like this particular line-up:
- BPA free (important for food storage)
- Relatively inexpensive (especially by the case and during sales)
- Consistent sizing
- Readily available in-store and on-line
- Seem to fit spaces exactly!
- Easily stackable
- Especially handy to prevent liquids from spilling where they shouldn’t
- Easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher
- And most importantly, I can see what’s inside!
The 3 sizes I probably use the most are: men’s shoe box, small accessory box, and the regular sweater box. I keep a small stash of these on-hand for quick access when I get a sudden urge to re-organize a closet or pantry (insert Hubby’s deep sigh and shoulder shrug here).
