With lots of boxes of different shapes and sizes, this is one drawer that just can’t get it right.
top traffic posts of 2023It would seem like this is not such a hard job. After all, a box of aluminum foil is long and skinny. Ditto for that parchment paper or plastic wrap. Even the box of gallon-sized Ziploc bags are similar in size and shape.
But then you add some sandwich bags, or even quart-sized bags, and perhaps Crock-Pot liners…it’s really not so seamless anymore.
Then a friend introduced me to this variety pack of bags from Target. My jaw dropped. I thought it was brilliant. Now I’m not turning back.
Some of you: Yeah, nothing new. Knew about this for awhile.
Others: Why didn’t you tell me about this before?
Here are some FAQ’s.
What if I don’t need/buy all these sizes?
You’ll find that when you have different sizes available, you end up using the size that is most appropriate for the item, rather than going to your defaults.
What if I use one size more than others?
No problem. I kept an extra box of gallons and quarts (my most frequents) in the cabinet below this drawer for refills. By the time I finished the refills, my other sizes were usually out too and it was time to replace.
It doesn’t look like it will help me so much. It only eliminates a couple of boxes for me.
You’ll see. It does. You’ll just have two or three long boxes alongside it and the drawer will definitely look neater.
Not done. Some people prefer different brands. Some people want something prettier.
There’s also acrylic versions to organize your bags (but then you actually need to buy each size of bag separately). (There’s actually lots of acrylic versions.)
There’s also white, black, or wood food storage organizers if that’s more your look (and yes, there’s also foil/plastic wrap holders if you want to make a completely box-less drawer).
Have more organizing tips for that food storage/foil drawer?
