Totes Totes everywhere there's totes!
Need some big ol' organizing totes... it's time to get your tote on! These are just two pull out ads for totes. Home Depot is sporting the purple 18-Gallon Tote for $3.88, 99cent 6.5 quart clear totes [that's the small shoe size].
Fred Meyer has the 18-Gallon Tote for $5. But they are showing one of my favorite totes: the Iris 18.5 Quart Sweater Box for $4.
I'm sure your local paper is full of these ads as well.
Here's what I look for in a tote:
1. Squared out- meaning it doesn't bulb or bubble on the ends. I like them flat and square.
2. Clear or White lids. All the color drives me bonkers because it never matches 'last years' bins.
3. Big totes... I like them all the same color-preferably a neutral so it doesn't scream at me when I drive into the garage...there's enough action I don't need the color noise of the bins to add to it.
4. Stackable. That was Stackable period.
I have been toting far longer than the war has been going on. All of my Christmas decorations are toted (is that a word?) and whenever I open the closet under the stairs where it all lives, I smile. It is neat, stacked, and safe. ~Kelly
