TGIF!   My Frugal Friday tip today is using those wonderful cheese boxes.  I think people have been saving and using these for hundreds of years.  Anyone know when they first made these great wooden cheese boxes?  I use an old wooden one on my table for my salt and pepper, and other little treasures get dropped in there, marbles, beads, etc.  The cardboard ones aren't as fun to display, but they are great in drawers and cupboards.  I have one for pens and pencils, magnets for the frig, kids' markers, and they have helped keep my plastic container cupboard neat by holding the lids.  They just seem the perfect size and are still quite sturdy. 

What is your frugal favorite?
