Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it.I picked up some baskets at a thrift store last year. Ended up using two for only a few months as they didn't work out as well as anticipated. They went back to the thrift store.
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?Spices have been my nemesis for years. Tried many systems. If I didn't like and use them so much I'd chuck them all out.
What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff.This came from you Gayle: baggies. They're cheap, readily available, and easily contain items like rubber bands.

I wandered around a craft store one day and saw a plastic box with several compartments used for painting supplies. I realized I could use my late husband's fishing box for my paint supplies. Works like a charm.
