Helping out my future self

I store all my food-storage bags in a drawer using some lovely bamboo food-storage bag organizers, like the ones in this link. I recently bought a large box of quart-size Ziploc bags…more than will fit in the container. Storage is at a premium in my apartment, so I put the overflow in the less-than-convenient cabinet over the microwave.

I was afraid I wouldn’t remember they were there and order more when the bamboo container was empty. So I helped my future self out by leaving a note. It says, There are more Qt bags above the microwave.

As I pulled the bags out of their little bin, I saw this note, in my handwriting, stuck to the bottom. It says, kit There are more quart-size bags in the downstairs dining room.
