I’m not a natural organizer, but I’m starting to appreciate things that help me organize as I get older.

Have any of you run into some sort of widget or gadget or box or even app that you almost brushed off, but then started using it and now it’s the neatest thing ever?

I guess I’m looking for things you almost wrote off as boring-as-shit before you used it and were converted.

    1-gallon jugs of Arizona iced tea. I drink a ton of the sugar-free Arnold Palmer, and the jugs, as well as their screw on caps, are just high quality. They are thick, high quality plastic, and the cap is sturdy with a good seal. I use them for keeping pre-treated water for topping up my fish tank, isopropyl alcohol for the wash station of my resin 3d printer, and other stuff like that. We also use them for cat food/litter storage and dispensing. I have also used them to store coins, when I had a job that involved cash tips that were mostly coins. I’m sure there are a ton of other uses for such a container. The jug is free if you’re going to spend the $3 on the iced tea anyway. Buying a similar quality jug/container at Walmart costs twice as much, or more, and doesn’t come with anything to drink inside.
