My shop's cooler went from a mess to a money maker after one simple switch

About four months ago, my walk-in cooler was a real headache. Flowers were getting lost in the back, things were wilting because I'd forget about them, and I was tossing about $150 worth of stock every week. I saw a post here about using clear, stackable bins instead of just putting boxes on the shelves. I bought a dozen from a supply store in town, nothing fancy. Now, each bin holds a single flower type, labeled on the front with the date it came in. I can see everything at a glance. My waste dropped to maybe $20 a week almost right away because I use the oldest stuff first without even thinking. It sounds so small, but seeing that before and after in my weekly numbers was wild. Has anyone else tried a storage trick that saved them a bunch of money?

Lmao, so you're telling me the secret to running a business is just... putting things in bins? That's it? I feel like I just read a life hack for your fridge.

Honestly @river182, what kind of bins are we even talking about here? Tbh it sounds like a joke but maybe there's a real point.
