Joyfullyblessed Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hello, I am in the middle of cleaning out a big black cabinet that I have in my office/dining room. No matter how many times I have cleaned it out, it gets cluttered again. However, I am determined this time to truly organize everything in it. I have some plastic shoeboxes for various items, but I would really love to find some nice flat boxes that would stack on each other and look nice. They could be decorative or plain. They would need to be about 2-3" in height, and probably 8x10 or 11x14 in length and width. I want to get 12 of them and label them January to December. Then I plan on placing any receipts or paid bill stubs in the appropriate box during the year. That way at the end of the year, I can easily file everything that I need to keep and then start over fresh at the beginning of the year. Anyway, has anyone seen any boxes like this that would not be too expensive? Thanks!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 How about cereal or shipping boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyfullyblessed Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 That is a really cute idea! I actually thought about using cereal boxes, but I think I want something with an actual lid, kind of like a present box if that makes sense. I would even be willing to go with some kind of small plastic drawer system that has 6-12 drawers. Thanks for the suggestion though! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thessa516 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Have you seen Really Useful Boxes? This sounds like something you want. However, it'd cost about $50 for 12 of them. Another option, depending on how much you file, would be an accordian folder. It'd be much cheaper and take up less space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Have you checked Target or the Container Store? Elise in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ikea had some boxes that were 10X14X3 in their store. I don't see them on their website, but they were under Kassett label. My dh keeps receipts in a large Jan-Dec expanding file like this: http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/701250/Smead-Monthly-Expanding-File-12-Pockets/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
