Avoiding Snack Drawer Mosh Pits

Dear Katie & Kelly: No matter what I do, our snack drawer ends up looking like a mosh pit. Desperately need some tips to corral items?

Dear Hopeless: It all depends on how deep your drawer is. We recommend a variety of sizes. Drawers are like a game of Tetrus where you play around with it until you get it just right. We love shallow Linus acrylic bins for desks drawers pictured above. They offer just enough structure to keep order but not so much that you can’t fudge a bag that doesn’t quite fit on the first day you unload new snacks in there. Often we recommend using the boxes that pre-packaged snacks come in and just ripping off the top (all four tabs) to create order and keep things separate. It’s the cheapest way to do it and the easiest since you don’t have to unload snacks from the box into a bin and then recycle said box.

Hope that helps! K & K
