It seems to always happen. During a birthday party, Christmas morning, late in the evening after you've just returned from the store......you need a battery. You dig in the junk drawers / bins....you need three AAA, but only find a few AA and a D. UGGHH! (Confession: Previously, I've have been known to take those out of "less played with toys" / remotes / battery operated Swifter / etc... to put into new toys.)
Enough!! I came across these cute three drawer containers at Target - perfect size to hold a good number of batteries and yet small enough to store with my "stock" shelves above my washer and dryer.

My favorite drawer is the "speciality" drawer. If I'm going to the drugstore / Walmart for a watch battery - buy two or three and save a trip. If your kids have a special toy or musical book - do the same!! Garage door openers / keychain remotes for cars.......Saves time and gas.
The other drawers are the basic battery sizes "AAA", "AA", "9V", "C", "D" - the drawers are clear to I can easily "inventory" if I'm making a run to a "bulk" store to stock up or if I see a good sale and / or coupon.
Its a very basic idea - but honestly, one of my favorite "conveniences" in my house :) I feel if I can solve one "headache" at a time in my house, I'm a much
