There are alot of Dollar stores poping up across the Nation. I have a tip from the Dollar Store.
What are your ideas and tips?
I recently bought 5 plastic drawer trays designed to hold knives,forks, and spoons. I sawed/broke out a few of the horizontal dividers sectons until all vertical slots would hold my woodcarving chisels and gouges. Having a tray to take to the work is a real plus. Each chisel has it’s own slot and the sharp edges don’t get bumped by an adjacent chisel.
What are your Dollar Store Tips?

If I'm stripping paint, I sometimes like to use plastic spatulas for the scraping. These are pretty expensive (for that purpose) at a regular store, but the $$-stores sell 'em cheap enough to toss 'em when they're eaten up.
