You won't have to spend much money on plastic organizers for your home, just buy a few four-gallon square buckets. You can use them to store spare wires/cables, bulk foods, first aid supplies, nails, and many other goods. Filling the buckets, print out a full color label with large font and tape it to the side with a tape. In this way you'll know what kind of goods is inside only by looking at the color of the label.
In addition, four-gallon buckets serve as a well-organized tool shed, garage, pantry, and closets at a rather low price in comparison with plastic organizers. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the fact how much space you'll have organizing things in such buckets. No one will deny the fact that square is much better than round when it comes to food storage. Besides, you may be sure that the storage buckets won't allow light penetration. If you want to store food for a long time, for instance, beans, wheat, and rice, light may remove useful nutrients from your food. But four-gallon food storage buckets are opaque in color, and aren't made of plain plastic. Besides, the snug lid of the square bucket assures that things inside will be better preserved even in case of an earthquake or flood.
It's important to emphasize that four-gallon square buckets protect their contents better than the traditional round buckets. A square shape offers a better foundation than a round one does. You can even put there bottles of salad dressing, but before wrap them up in newspaper. Thus, even in case of an earthquake the contents will survive, not like being placed on a shelf.
It's recommended also to consider eight-gallon and two-gallon square buckets. An eight-gallon bucket will hold many light bulky items while a two-gallon square bucket is good for heavy things.
