Flashcard organisation solution

1

I'm in 1st year college, tryna organise my flashcards. im planning to use the leitner system to revise it all, but im trying to organise per topic rather than per paper, meaning that, just for 1st year content, im gonna need 45 boxes to put them in. theyre slightly less than 5x3 inches, and i dont really feel like paying £300 for those boxes. ive checked on alixpress for cheaper options, but they dont allow me to buy more than 1 box at a time. does anyone here know where to find cheap boxes, or even just a cheaper solution? im almost in tears trying to find something adequate 😭😭😭

Honestly no idea what half of this meant but it feels like a massively over-thought solution

If you really need boxes just go around your local supermarkets and ask the manager if you can get some of the discarded wine boxes (or packing from another product)

Hi @WallsofParadis ,

It's great to see you want to be organised, however there are some more cost-effective ways to go about this. One of the best ways is to just buy a bundle of rubber bands, this is exactly what I did! Make the cover revision card the name of the topic, bundle the cars using the rubber band and it's sorted!

A similar option is paper clips or if you are determined to use boxes, check out a big bundle of small clear plastic containers.

I hope this helps, please feel free to ask me any questions,
