"Plastic crates are inexpensive and portable storage for your homeschool books and curriculum.
We’ve all heard the saying, “A place for everything and everything in its place,” but what do you do when the everything outgrows the places?
Bookshelves and inexpensive plastic crates can become a homeschooler’s best friends, and now is the best time to buy them. With back to school and off to college sales going on, Meijers, Target, Walmart and K-Mart carry a wide assortment of shelves and school storage items, and the prices are reasonable, so if need be you can purchase several.
