I agree, don't keep so many of them that they are overwhelming you. I had trouble with the plastic ice cream buckets, but keep them to a certain number now- no more than 5 extras at a time.
I used some containers similar to the detergent containers to keep all the extra house stuff together. Things like extra door knobs and latches, and extra hardware for the vertical blinds throughout the house--- basically things that belong to the house. That way, I can always find them, and if we ever move, I can just leave the containers behind for the new owners.
good ideas
