Let me start by clarifying that I do not own any Tupperware in the name brand sense of the word. I do own a sprawling array of re-usable plastic containers. We received a set made by Rubbermaid when we first got married, and since then we have acquired several other strays. They are just too cute! I hate to turn any away. We have also adopted and fallen in love with two varieties of sippy cups. If you can make it out in the drawer though, there are more than two varieties of cups! It would appear we have some stow-aways. Our mission today is to oust the stow-aways & recatagorize them as give-aways, throw-aways, or sale-aways.
1. Empty the drawer & spread out across the kitchen floor or on the counter top.2. Separate out any excess containers & cups. This includes containers without lids, odd-shaped containers that will not nest, and styles that you haven't reached for in over six months. Plan to either donate, recycle, or yard sale what you don't need.
3. Clean out any crumbs & Lysol-wipe the inside of the drawer.
4. Group like items together. I used shallow baking pans to keep the lids in one place, and plastic cups to hold the valves for the sippy cups.
WOW! All this took approx 30 minutes.
A little hard to gage, though, as I had several interruptions along the way!
