The value of your hoard is zero if you can't find the item you need, so organization is key.

My recent scheme (I organized during Covid): everything goes in covered Sterilite transparent containers with labels from a brother printer. The containers are cheap, stackable, somewhat waterproof and I find it helps that you can see a bit inside them. There are many sizes to choose from, I tend to use the 6 qt. and 16 qt. sizes the most.

They do crack if you drop them, but this is mitigated by the price.
