Divide and Conquer...

Recently I came across a GREAT deal on "bandaids".  While 300 pieces may seem like a lot for most families, for a home with a very "hands-on" geek, a food service manager and an almost 8 year old boy...this will probably only touch the tip of the iceberg!  While the deal was terrific, having that many bandages in one spot wasn't practical.  I could easily store the bigger box in the linen closet on the second floor, but the majority of our "boo-boos" happen on the first floor...and there was no room in our tiny powder room for such a big box.  So what did I decide?  Divide and conquer!

Using the copier function on my printer I made a color copy of the front of each box.

These copies will fit perfectly on the front of "Invitation" size envelopes.

A swipe of my glue stick and they are neatly attached to the envelopes.

I separated the contents of each individual box, leaving half in the original box and putting half in the corresponding envelopes.

They fit perfectly in what I believe to be an old Ferrero Rocher candy box.

Which fits PERFECTLY inside the wall cabinet in my powder room.

Not every bulk purchase is a great deal.  However, the large size does not have to preclude the purchase, as long as you can "divide and conquer"!

Toodles...
