Great Expedit bins at Michaels... $15

[american_mama]

For those who remember, I am the queen of searching for bins to fit the Expedit shelving system from IKEA. Michael's has some wonderful sturdy cardboard bins about the shape of a milk crate. They have solid sides which are wrapped in textured paper with a linen-look pattern in soft beige, soft green, and off-white. At the top, there is contrasting gingham trim. They are an ideal fit, leaving about two inches of clearance at the top and almost none on the sides or back.

The downer? They are priced $30 regularly and have been on sale for 50% off for a while. I want $10 or less per bin. They also look a tad TOO neutral with my light birch shelves, but I could get over that.

I'm grateful for your posts! I actually have 11" canvas bins downstairs in my Expedit unit and while I like them they don't fit perfectly and have quite a bit of wasted space. I noticed these 13" canvas bins, measured my shelves, and think they might be perfect!
