with this -- connect bulk pieces together into larger "slugs" when storing

  For example, take a bin of 2x4 bricks.  Start making little towers (say,
5 bricks high) of a single color per stack.  Then stack (or toss) the slugs
in your ordinary storage tub.  Depending on the container I usually have to
try a few different slug sizes to get good utilization of my storage space,
and sometimes it helps to mix-n-match slug sizes to fit a particular drawer.

Actually, I have a bunch of the storage cases from sets 545 (6 bin) and 565 (9
bin).  They hold "slugs" of bricks perfectly - 2x4 stacked 8 high - they hold
21 "slugs" in each bin = 168 2x4 in one little bin.
