Organize With Used Boxes

From , former About.com Guide

Never buy boxes to try to organize things. There is no need; you get boxes every time you go to the store! Use tampon boxes to organize bath needs under you sink. No place to put all those Koolaid packets, use the box from the granola bars. I have boxes in almost ever drawer and cabinet in my house to keep organized, and I haven't paid for any of them. Old shoe boxes are some of the best. For my son's closet I made my own organizer from boxes with the opening facing out. The clothes aren't heavy enough to weigh down the boxes and I can rearrange as he grows and hanging clothes need more room.
