You all know I like to find a bargain...well check this out! This was a bargain we can use for a completely different purpose than originally intended.
Found these at Walmart on my lunch break after Easter...they are Easter baskets (!?). Doesn't really remind us of an Easter basket but hey, maybe it's a contemporary version, ha. They are metal wire mesh with a folding wooden handle.
They are a great size and even better...
They were 80% off! At an original price of $8.98, they were $1.80 each. I texted a picture to 2nd Man and he said, "wow, YES buy more!" So of course...
I bought all they had left in white (also came in pastel blue and green but we just wanted white for the new house). Now we have eight! We were thinking of all the things we could use them for. In the new pantry for storing produce (potatoes, onions, garlic, etc), packages of pasta or seasoning packets, maybe even in the extra fridge or freezer for smaller items to be contained like small bottles or jars or even in the bathroom for storing smaller items.
Sometimes, you have to see beyond something to use it for something else.
Win/win!
What a great deal.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I thought of was setting some potted herbs in the baskets sitting on your porch area, Or use as fruit baskets or once you have a garden, use for gathering veggies from your garden. Like you mentioned; use as a storage basket for your pantry.
Enjoy your day and have a wonderful and blessed evening
Excellent find and deal!
ReplyDeleteGreat for the pantry, it's fun getting a great bargain.
ReplyDeleteI love these, I could see so many uses for them. You could sort bags of pasta or packets of stuff, spices and seasonings if you labeled the top of them, etc. Good find, I would have bought all of them too. L Janie V
ReplyDeleteThose will be handy and they were such a good deal.
ReplyDeleteIf you get chickens ... perfect basket for gathering eggs!
ReplyDeleteThese will be perfect for your pantry. They’ll keep things neat and tidy.
