I have been accumulating a lot of gear and bits since “retiring” and of course there is only a finite amount of space to put it all in. So, I have found that a good place to find transparent stackable containers is the Reject Shop . (no doubt other $2 shops will have this sort of thing)
You can get shoebox sized containers with lids for $4 ea and half that size for $2.50, also some nice small screwtop food containers (ideal for screws from disassembling stuff) for $1.25. Bunnings also have a range of cheap clear plastic boxes with adjustable dividers.
For many years, I saved tofu containers and yoghurt tubs for parts etc, but they did not have lids and eventually cracked/broke. Containers with lids are the way for space-constrained workshops!
