Frugal Solution: Storage for Loose Stamps

Two layers of stamps fit
What a find! My husband and I wandered over to the new Dollar General that opened down the road from us. I am not a huge Dollar General fan, but if I need to go, I go now and then. I thought, hey, its new, fresh and clean, let's go see it before that changes. (lol) Anyway, I have been SEARCHING and SEARCHING for new containers to store all my loose stamps. I came very close to commissioning a cardboard box company to mass produce the correct size for me. THAT'S how frustrated I was getting. Luckily, I did not go that route, because low and behold, on the Dollar Store shelf was the most perfect container ever!

There were only six on the shelf, so I bought all six. I am sure glad I did. When I came home, and searched on the computer for the same size they were more expensive. Each box holds two layers of stamps.  They are stackable too! Three fit perfectly in the shelving units I have for all my supplies.
They fit perfectly on my shelves
with room to grow!

I am so excited to have my loose stamps in organized containers now. I want to spread the word, because I know there are many stampers out there that are struggling to find a solution for their loose stamps.I have included the sticker on the containers to help you find some in your area.  


Here is the label if you want to find it

  1. Fantastic! What a great bargain! I use Really Useful boxes but they are quite pricey!
