Thrifty Thursday...Divided Food Containers To Organize More Than Food

Today's thrifty tip is to use all those plastic food containers that we have stored in the basement or waaayyy in the back of the kitchen cabinet. You know those divided plastic Tupperware containers that we only use for picnics and parties. Well, get them out!!

If you don't have any of these food organizers at home, I've seen them at thrift stores or yard sales cheap, cheap!!

I think people get rid of them, because they only use them once or twice a year.

Let's use them all year long in the kitchen and out!!

These food organizers are great for condiments (ketchup, mustard, relish, onions) for picnics, or ice cream party toppings, baked potato toppings, all the ingredients to make tacos etc.

However, you know me!! They are also great for crafting too!!

You can take all your sewing supplies with you to a class-retreat. This particular container is thin and can be easily packed with all your stuff.

It's also perfect to keep next to you and your comfy chair when hand sewing or embroidering.

There are so many different styles of divided food containers, so find the one that will work best for you.

These divided food trays are great for so many other uses too and the plastic cover snaps on and keeps things safe and sound...

Happy Organizing,
