How about a helpful household hint?
I am always seeing fancy looking organizers and containers for storing office, household, workshop and other supplies on home improvement shows and in the aisles at STAPLES. It appears that some are rather expensive. However, I get all my business and personal organizers absolutely free!
I have found that the various plastic containers that food and household products come in are perfect organizers for holding different sized paper and binder clips, various sizes of sticky pads and smaller lined paper pads, stamps, pens and pencils, erasers, nails, screws, and other supplies.
For one, there is the containers that many “tv dinners” come in (the aluminum ones are no good). And the brown container that holds three crème-filled cupcakes or clear container that holds cookies in a package. They provide multiple sections for organizing clips and binders.
The green or blue containers that hold the Swiffer wet pads, or the generic alternative, come in several sizes and have many uses in the kitchen, bedroom, and office.
The round plastic containers that contain potato or macaroni salad from the supermarket or “Blimpie” are also good for holding small supplies.
I even make use of the metal Altoids containers.
Not only am I saving money, but I am recycling as well!
