Storing your Batteries

I saw this great idea on Pinterest & thought I'd do it for myself, & share. Definitely not a new idea, but a very practical one for organising your batteries.


This is how I have been storing my batteries (in an old paper bag from a store):

I removed all the batteries from their packaging:

& placed them in this very handy container:

They're so much easier to access now, & I know when I'm running out so I can buy more.

I had this container lying around the house, but you can buy similar containers with compartments at Howard's Storage World & Ikea.
You can also use this type of container to store buttons, tea bags, kids craft supplies, nails & screws, makeup, hair clips & so much more.


Do any of you have any practical ideas like this that you'd like to share?

Tip - How to get all the cream out of your hand cream tube

You've squeezed as much as you can, & you know there's still more cream in there but you just can't get it out.

Solution: cut the tube in half (pictured) & scoop out the remaining cream.

You'll be surprised how much is still in there, & it usually gets thrown out with the packaging.

You can do the same for your toothpaste too.
