[Makerspace-keymembers] Storage bins

[Gergana Slavova]

I stopped by Big Lots on my way home from work.  They have a variety of
Sterilite containers for really cheap.

Specifically, they have a bunch of 66QT bins (which are larger than the
ones from the link) with sizes: 23 5/8 L x 16 3/8 W x 13 1/4 H.  Price is
$8.90 (as compared to $13 on Amazon).

Wanna do that instead?  I can buy them any day this week.

Also, just an FYI for people, our clean-up day is next Friday, May 9th.
