2025 OneThing #19 - Sort and Organize Containers

This is one of those things that has been driving me crazy for a while but it took less than a half hour to do it!

I have one main shelf / drawer for round plastic food containers (Tupperware and "fake" Tupperware type things) and one drawer for rectangle ones. I also have a shelf / drawer for glass containers with their lids in a basket below. I have a fourth location with some oversize plastic containers and my Twixits / water bottles / etc. (Oh, and I keep excess empty yogurt containers in the cupboard over the fridge. I have a separate story to tell about those . . . )


Those first two locations were disastrous and getting worse each day. I pulled everything out, wiped down the shelf, and put things back with one lid per container neatly stacked by size. It went pretty quickly and now the drawers are neat and organized. It wasn't worthy of "before" and "after" photos, but I put extra "unclaimed" lids in a bag (reused the one from last time) and tucked it in back.


It looks as though I last did this in June, so ten months ago! It was overdue.
