Also at Wally World . . .

I picked up a couple of office storage file crates made by Sterilite, legal size + letter size, in the office supply section. Usually about $6 - I picked one up on sale for $5. They're plastic, perforated with some large holes, colors of hot pink, brown, blue & black. You can fit three across the back (legal size fore & aft) - and made in the USA~! Four gallons of milk fit perfectly into one. I have a piece of fabric, the same color as the bug-guts red, that I throw over it all to keep prying eyes away.
Great for storing the groceries or anything else you wanna keep from sliding around.

UPC 0 7314969375 4 -- item #1693

Here's a small plug for the factory cargo divider. We didn't get one when we picked up our car, but after a few weeks of digging stuff out from under the seats, we broke down and called the dealer. Of course, by then, they were out, so more weeks of stuff sliding under. Got a cargo organizer much like this one and it helped. Finally got our divider and am so glad! Very well built, easy in and out or drop to the lower setting to get out of the way.

It holds a 15 lb dachshund and a 30 lb briefcase on top easily and leaves space underneath for groceries and whatever. Good product!

Yikes You put a 30 pound briefcase on top of your 15 pound dog?

- that must be one strong, patient and loyal dachshund!

You think wally world is bad on benefits? Try working in the restaurant business where they pay you 2.10 an hour, few benefits and you survive on tips if they don't flood the floor with to many waiters.

Hopefully your hourly wage plus tips meets the mandated minimum wage: https://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/regs/compliance/whdfs15.pdf

Not my job, sons and daughters are starving waiters. Actually they work in high end enough restaurants that the checks are big so the tips are big too. Plus they give excellent service.:]

I got that same organizer before my smart came in last April. It fits perfect and is easy to use. You can use an old towel to lay across the top to keep your stored items out of view. The price is right. It doesn't fit in my MINI cooper, so that means my SMART has a bigger cargo area than my BIG car.

WalMart Item # is 11279. Thought for the next time, "NEVER MENTION WALMART OR ANY OTHER RESOURCE. THIS WILL PREVENT UNWANTED AND UNNECESSARY RESPONSES." What a waste of time reading the BULL SH@T be slung. I do not care nor do I want to know you thoughts on WalMart. I am here to abuse a resource. Next thing you know, we will be in politics. I am not here for that.............................................. ........................ I paid my dues, have you.

I picked up a nice little Thule organizer at the classy Wal-Mart (aka Target) which is great -- very sturdy, comes with a top to hide stuff, has sturdy sides and handles so you can carry the entire thing, with contents, from the car to the house, and folds up very small when not in use:

(It was cheaper at Target than it is at Amazon, I think it was $45).
