Now you have to understand, I live in a really small town, so beautiful sights such as these are few and far between and what is even more exciting is that these are new baskets, ones I’ve never seen before! I love that they have handles, that they come in three different sizes and the colors are so very pretty.
I was a very good girl and only bought two but so far I’ve only figured out what to do with one of them. It was the perfect size for my daughter’s stuffy/webkinz collection (that was previously piled up under her desk).
Take a look:
Thanks for letting me share this with you…and just so I don’t feel like a total geek I’m hoping someone (anyone?) will tell me that I’m not the only one that feels a happy dance is an appropriate reaction to such beautiness!
Have a great weekend everyone!

LOL!
Hey I like those blue containers.
You may be a freak but so am I. I would have been excited too and Im not from a small town. They are very cool.
Very nice. I stopped by Target today and in the $1 section, they had some great organizing stuff. I got a four holder hanging rack for the closet. It was $2.50. I should have grabbed another. My sweaters are neatly folded there rather than thrown about.
I bet you the people at the store was wondering…”why is she taking a picture?”
I’ll have to go get my mom to pic up some.
Check my blog later on…I thought of you yesterday as I finished doing something!
Have a great day!
So cool!! I love the baskets. Where did you get them?
FREAK!!!
I do miss the Super Valu stuff
I’m so glad to know I’m not the only freak out there and Annie that is music to my ears…you lovin on me like that…lol.
Lisa sounds like you got yourself a great deal there!
Tsoniki these baskets are at my local Super Value grocery store (I’m in Canada).
Jenny can’t wait to see what you were up to! I’ll keep checking on you.

Hey there I found your blog from rocksinmydryer! I am so happy to find you. I am on a quest for organization of my home so I will be visiting to get tips from you!
I don’t think you’re a freak :D I think it’s a beautiful site! I need to go to the dollar store and find more baskets for stuff (not sure what stuff, but I’m sure once I have baskets for it I’ll think of something :D lol)
OK, so to someone who is the Queen of Clutter, I admit… I don’t understand the passion…. but I WANT to. Honest. I SO desire to de-clutter and learn to be organized. I’m hoping that by reading your blog I will gleen some helpful tips and hints. I’m packing up our house to get ready to sell it. Gee… it seems so empty (but nice!) without all the extra stuff. Hmm, I’ll definitely have to learn from all you organized-type people before I destroy the new house we don’t even live in yet!
:)
Right there with ya! I got ecstatic just looking at your picture! LOL! So I am a freak too. I am SO JEALOUS I don’t have that store and display here where I live. I need some of these containers!
I totally understand! I just cleaned out half of my daughters’ closet and was so proud of my endeavors that I hauled my mom back to see and my best friend!!! I had help and took it happily!!! I have boxes for Polly Pocket, puppet shows, Pet Shop, Barbie, tea party, kitchen… .the list is endless..
my kids even have what we call a “shoe crate” where their shoes go.. I just made one for my ds… he is only 1 but has a crate for his mocs he wears :)
Hi there, as you know by now I bought 4 of these this afternoon, and had to take T down tonight after dinner and she bought 4 so she can revamp her food closet. You are good advertising for Super Valu thanks again for this afternoon, T had a great day playing in all the snow she told me what her and K were up to back there. They are building a tunnel to hide in and they have hidden snowballs. lol sue
Oh, I love those baskets. I could use a few for my house - the kids rooms, the office, the living room, my bedroom. Oh, the possibilities are endless. Maybe you are a freak, but that is what makes you so lovable!!! :)
A very lovely sight, indeed, and oh-so-tempting, I’m sure! They look like they’d be perfect for the little “collections” of baby toys I seem to be accumulating in every room of the house.
When I see things like this I always….always think of you…and smile.
You’re too funny. I can’t say I do a happy dance when I see a display but it does make me think of you. I guess you still have some work to do with me! ;v)
Look at the prices of your veggies! Oh my word that is expensive! Yeah I saw the baskets and smiled but the prices of the food just blew me away lol
Barbie, tell me about it! The joys of living in an isolated community….uggg.
Laura
I am doing the happy dance right along with you. I love to look at such pretty and aesthetically pleasing sites. Thanks for thinking of us and sharing.
I am sure you made the grocery store display makers day :) !!
LOL!
Just wondering, what is your daughters nickname on webkinz? I have one, and mayeb i could meet her!
Sorry for all the comments - blogger keeps telling me that the server isn’t available, but voila, they are ALL there now! Feel free to delete!
That looks great!
I went right away to get some for myself and I am in the process of organizing my disater of a hall closet/pantry with them. Thanks so happy.

Hi Laura,
Oh how neat. I love it when I find new organizing tools. I hope you don’t mind I put a link on my blog to yours. Jan is a great month for finding baskets and trays.
Hugs,
Elizabeth
Aren’t cheap bins and baskets the best? It makes my day when I walk into a store, not expecting the organizing bargins, but end up walking out with something to tackle that pile that’s growing the corner of my closet! Wonderful!!!

Oh we are simpatico. I understand the enthusiasm. AND they are totally washable. Unlike wicker baskets. Some kid throws up in them just once, and they are toast. Excellent find.
They are FABULOUS things!
Great for car trunks, and I use one to keep the laundry that needs ironing/mending.
Laura, I lovingly fondled those very same baskets at my grocery yesterday morning. Aren’t they fantastic? I didn’t buy any though!
Love it! I could use some of those…
LOL Laura, I think they’ve been reading your mind, they know what will keep you going back for more. I have to confess though, if I walked into my local grocery store and saw that, I would do cartwheels down the veggie aisle LOL
Love it, and I love the possibilities :)
Hugs,
Sandra
LOL. I was “happy dancing” down the basket and container aisle at Wal-Mart today. I couldn’t buy anything but I was ‘window shopping’ to my heart’s content!
oh - those are fantastic! i just LOVE that you went home and got your camera :)
oh - those are fantastic! i just LOVE that you went home and got your camera :)
You made me laugh this morning, Laura!! Totally sounds like something I would do.
Hmm that does not get me excited, but it is good to be different. hehe
I’m like you… the new year’s supply of organizing gadgets gets me excited! LOL! :)
Your blog is great, glad I stumbled into it!
Oh my word, you completely crack me up, Laura. I can actually see you doing the happy dance at all that glorius beautiness! You are truly addicted, girl. Worse than me!
LOL
I’ve been lurking around here for some time totally loving your organizational tips and using quite a few of them around my house. I’m a bit of a junkie myself. That picture is just too funny. I’m sure I’d do something like that too. :)
I LOVE those baskets. You were very good to only get two LOL
Me? I would have bought as many as I could carry!!!
I love containers, usually buying them without a particular use in mind, but I almost always find one! I am usually in trouble when Wal-Mart puts out each new season’s colors of totes!
Laura what store did you get these at Food Basics it looks like to me? Also I was wondering what they are called so I can call around to see if we have these too.
thanks Diane
