hi everyone--

i need a better closet system for my shoes, and i was wondering if anyone can suggest a good place either online or in a store to buy clear plastic boxes to put my shoes in (and then i can take pics of each pair and paste the pics on front). i did a quick online search, and it seems like i need to pay at least $7 a box. is that a lot? i don't know how many boxes i will need, but does anyone have an idea of where i can buy these boxes for less?

thanks!

What can I do next?

Dollar General! I just got a TON of them there. They even have several different colored lids. I use them in my kids playroom for their toys.

What about using one of those shoe bags that you hang on the inside of your closet door? Or if you are going to have to stick a picture of the shoes that are in the box on the outside anyway what about using shoe boxes and or cardboard boxes instead of plastic ones? Im sure you could either ask friends and family for a bunch or you could buy some cheap boxes at an arts and crafts store.
Just a thought
Good Luck

I did this when we moved and it made a huge difference in our closet. I was able to find them at Lowes and I think they came three or four of them bundled together. I can't remember how much I paid for them but it was a few years ago. But you can try them if there is one near you.

You can try Walmart, Dollar General, Fred's, K Mart and of course the Dollar Store. You can get them alot cheaper at any of above.

The dollar store chain called Dollar Tree has them. (Yes... for only a dollar!) Walmart often carries this plastic size too and their prices are very low, too. I use 3 different clear size containers for storeage and this is one of the sizes that I use. They really do help me to stay organized and keep the dust out.

Go to Walmart.
They have tons of this and other plastic containers.

Also for shoes, you can also use those hanging types... the kind with plastic pockets to hold shoes. You can hang it on a wall, or over the door.
I have those.
It holds a lot.
