That is such a cool idea, Florida Cat. I have an in box on the kitchen counter, but it gets totally out of hand by Friday.

These are only cardboard but they keep paper off my kitchen counter.
Thank You, it took me a minuet, but now I understand.

Very interesting.

OMG you literally read my mind, TODAY. I stuck an imporant paper to the fridge, thought it looks a mess with all the others, and I need one of those wall pocket things for the fridge, zLOL

I have had these pockets for several weeks and so far they are working great. (They are plastic. I don’t know why I thought they were cardboard.) I have them on the side of my refrigerator so as not to clutter the front. The end of my kitchen counter has always been my worst clutter spot.

I saw these on a video from “Living Better with Barb,” a lady near my age who has a YouTube channel that I’ve found most in sync with the way I live.

I had some $$ from my Amazon cc rewards so only paid about $4.50 for them.

I've heard this called "doing something you will thank yourself for later." For me this mostly involves bulk cooking - it saves me so much time and money in the long run. On a larger scale, it would be putting bits of money away every chance I get. It really adds up and it's nice when the funds are there for an emergency.
