Frugalicious Utensil Crock

I have been eyeing a crock from Crate & Barrel for a while, but I just couldn't justify buying it for $36. However, every time I opened the drawers in my kitchen I realized how badly I needed something to hold my bigger utensils. I finally found the answer this past weekend while shopping at a discount retailer. I found a coffee container in the clearance section that was reduced to $1.49 because it was missing a cover. I loved the design and the fact that it matched my kitchen & connecting family room so well!!! We have now been using it for three days and not only is the love still strong, but I also saved over $30!!! In this case waiting certainly paid off! I know love opening the drawers... check out the before and after:



While organizing the drawers I realized that I have a lot of cookie cutters. The light bulb went off and I quickly ran out to the garage and grabbed the empty animal cracker container from the recycling bin. I washed it with soapy water and it is now our cookie cutter holder. I like this better because the kids will be able to pick easily when we bake cookies. And it was free- yipee!
