1bassoon Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 So - look what you've all done to me!!! I read the. Thread. Really. So tonight I"m in Big Lots (do you know that store? Like an Odd Lots or something similar. . . . . .) and I see. . . . The. Tote. Yup, the sterilite tote that can be used for files. For $4.00. A dollar cheaper than I saw at Wal-Mart. Plus I have a 20% off coupon. Bwahahahahahahah! Let the filing BEGIN!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinF Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I think that is just like the one that I use for our filing system. How big is it? I love the system and it is working well for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenniferB Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Have fun! I've been forsaking all else for days, and days, and days. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlutterbyMommy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (Another Heather H. here in the south) I went a little nutty at Big Lots Saturday. I am avoiding the Dollar Store right now because they have stocked up on school stuff. Organization stuff gets me every time. Must resist more stuff!!! :drool5::drool5::drool5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2jjka Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I don't have any comments on the filing system, but I just wanted to say, (as a fellow bassoonist,) that I LOVE your avatar! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaLee Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Ooohhh thanks, I think... These are exactly what I've been looking for. I guess I'll be headed to big lots in the am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwickimom Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 My dad manages a Big Lots........oh it sooo gets me in trouble on friends and family day. At least I get double the items for the money I spend :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2cents Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 :thumbup: I bought most of my filing and organizing containers from Big Lots. Good deals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 I don't have any comments on the filing system, but I just wanted to say, (as a fellow bassoonist,) that I LOVE your avatar! :D Thanks! We should have a WTM orchestra. . . . . I got to play Appalachian Spring - the "Simple Gifts" variations solos - just a few weeks ago, it was fabulous! My dad manages a Big Lots........oh it sooo gets me in trouble on friends and family day. At least I get double the items for the money I spend :lol: My dh scored a "Friends & Family" coupon from a co-worker, which is what I used. Oh, those files made me Happy! I only bought two, though, b/c. . . . . . I also realized that we had been using some similar containers for some of my younger kids' miscellaneous toys! So yesterday I commandeered them, re-homed the toys, and now I have enough file containers for my 5 kids! Oh, and I got some GREAT baskets at our JoAnn Fabrics & Crafts store - they were 50% off, PLUS as a homeschooler you can apply for and get a 15% discount that applies even to sale merchandise. They are much sturdier than the ones I had my eye on at Wal-Mart, and with the sale/discount, cheaper, too! Now - I wish I wasn't going on vacation. I can't start filing until next week!

prairiebird Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 I nearly did the same thing yesterday! But DH talked me out of it because he wants to use his own ridiculous system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyTN Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Big lots has a new savings card and you can get emails and coupons for Friends and Family days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breezy Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 See, I have been avoiding the filing post because I'm a sucker for organization stuff, but then your thread pulled me in, so I had to go read the other thread and now....sigh. I see some filing accessories in my future. Resistance is futile. :001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Us?? You've got me driving halfway across the state to go to a new Big Lots store just to buy those file thingys.:):) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaLee Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 :glare: I went to Big Lots today and they only had one left...So I settled for the $3 filing crates in white, which in the long run will probably work better for us anyways. Wooly, I hope you called them first to make sure they had some. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolybear Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Okay, Big Lots had them! I am so stupidly silly happy about this. Thank you.:D I got three, but I keep having this nagging feeling I should've gotten more. They were $4.70 here. Still a great deal, though.
