Yes, I've been there. We went through a phase converting from cardboard boxes to opaque bins for about everything in storage...realized that was dumb, and then a few years later started changing over the clear boxes. The wife's got all the holiday boxes switched over and got a labeler.Translucent bins with labels? Man, that takes all the fun out of it. When storing stuff, I prefer using opaque bins without labels and my memory. This way, when I'm looking for something, I generally find it in the last bin. After looking in the first couple of bins my blood pressure begins to rise and, by the last bin, I'm full blown ticked off with vessell-popping blood pressure. I mean, it's basically like doing a full-on sprint for about a 10k without the hassle of training, buying running gear or signing up and having to pay to race. Once I have calmed, I can usually be heard mumbling something about remembering to get clear bins and a labeling machine. Of course, about 10 minutes later, or once I see something shiny, I promptly forget everything and the process starts anew the next time I'm looking for "that thing" I stuck in one of the bins. See all the extra fun you be having too!
I figured I should do this right from the beginning, so when I moved everything from the garage, bought a whole set of matching bins that would fit the shelves...and made labels...on BOTH ENDS of the boxes...since otherwise no matter how hard you try, the label is ALWAYS on the back side of the box...
