So, I have headsets, charges, earbuds, etc. all over the place. I sat down...well, i tried to sit down, and took the pile that sits on the counter and decided to organize with snack sized ziplock bags and post-it notes in each bag so I know what is what. It is such a smarter, cleaner system. Now, all the bags are in one catch-all box, with labels.

I am also a big bag and post-it fan. I use baggies as well for when I moved. I would put the shelving hardware into a small baggie and tape it right to the shelves (or whatever else I was packing that had hardware).

Brilliant! I do the ziplock bags in my desk at work, but I didn't think of using post-it notes in them. Good Idea!

Recycling to save your dollars
Reuse your ziplock bags until they can be used no more
MORE INFORMATION:
I reuse any bags that I pack snacks in for myself. While I can't count on the kids to bring them back home, Hubby and I reuse them for our snacks. Give em a quick rinse and repack them for the next day when you get home. I bought a bulk box of ziplocks 18 months ago from Costco, have tons left!!
