After many years of trying to find a system that worked well to keep track of the MANY boxes of clothes stacked up in our garage I finally found one!
And it kept me from having to relabel our boxes every year or forgetting which list written with permanent marker on all side of my box was the right one!!!
I have labelled my boxes by number. Then I label index cards with the same number and list the content of the box on the card. When looking for something all I have to do is go through the list and find the right box. When the content of the box is changed I can redo the list on a card and start over again.
I also keep a stocked up “pantry” in my basement to minimize trips to the store. When we get down to one item left I write it on my grocery list. Keeping a list of what is in the freezer so that you are not surprised at what is hiding in the bottom of it can save buying things you already have.
My husband and I have been married for 25 years and have moved 14 times. After so many moves and a lot of trial and error this system of storing and keeping track has been the most helpful.
