Free: Small plastic containers w/lids (Near East/Union & Marquette) About 15 tiny plastic containers w/lids - rounded or spherical. These are the containers you get with little toys or really cheap costume jewelry from those coin-op vending machines in grocery stores and restaurants (the ones that drive parents crazy). Clearly, I succumbed now and then; shrug. These seem ideal for small craft or hardware items, especially since they're clear. Although their bases are rounded, they do sit steadily upright on their lids. Easy porch pickup near intersection of Milwaukee and Marquette Sts. on Near East side.
