Does that sound too good to be true? I'm betting you have some in your home right now without even knowing it.
Okay, I might be setting you up for disappointment if you live outside of the UK. I'm not sure how your fruit and vegetables are packaged abroad. But over here, this is how we buy our pre-packaged produce:
"Er ... very nice, Jen, but what does fresh produce have to do with organising?"
Well, you see those plastic punnets? Here they are, empty:
They are ideal for organising drawers and shallow cabinets. Here's how I've used them in my kitchen drawers, studio cupboard and bathroom cabinet.
Remember my plastic tub which contains my ... er ... plastic tubs? And the nested yellow basket which contains the lids?
Well, if you look inside the yellow basket you'll find a little punnet for all of the small lids and bottle tops:
Now tell me, do you get your goodies in plastic punnets? Could you actually use this idea? If so ... go forth, eat well and organise! And don't forget to send me pictures of your efforts.
Great ideas, I'll have to start saving those.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, I too use these kind of containers, they are ideal for bits of scrapbooking stash when i'm working on a project! Never thought to use them else where though...thats a good idea i shall remember after i go shopping now!! :)

I've never heard them called punnets (must be a UK thing?) but a little bit of my produce comes packaged like that - mostly just small berries or cherry tomatoes. I had not thought of using them to organize (probably mostly because, ahem, I'm not great at organizing to begin with), but that is a great idea! I'll let you know if I find some good uses for them.
ReplyDeleteI use them all the time for a wide range of things. I have a huge bag of them waiting to go to the lottie so start seeds in. The solid ones I used as trays under house plants, for feeding scraps to the chooks in, all sorts. I will take pictures!
ReplyDeleteWhat a GREAT idea!! I would have never thought of that!
ReplyDeleteGENIUS!
ReplyDeleteGeez, what a great idea! We go through a ton of those containers, as my daughter eats fruit like it's going out of style. I'll start repurposing instead of recycling :)
ReplyDeleteI also use the one with lids for my gardening starts .. they work perfect as mini green houses on the window sill :)
