ROFL $5 laundry baskets break too fast. The one I have is a Rubbermaid Hip Hugger. It's more like $13 and worth every penny. You can even fill it with heavy BOOKS and it doesn't break.
Speaking of books, two trips ago to the old place, I brought back six Rubbermaids of books that I still had stored there. They are in my garage still. Or were...I've now emptied four and taken them to the basement. These aren't light paperbacks, either. They are the children's books I kept from when I was small and when my son was small. 2 more to go. I have to take them down an armload at a time because the tubs are just too heavy. That is a lot of steps....but I need that space cleared out in my garage. Plus, I need the tubs for something else! (Yes, I did all those trips between my last two posts...need to catch my breath, ROFL. Takes 5 trips per rubbermaid, so that means I just did 20 trips down and back. Whew...
