MOTM

Most hardware stores carry little "chests of drawers" that are perfect for
holding all your resistors, screws, caps, spare pots, etc. I have one and
it's invaluable for holding all the little stuff. The drawers are clear
plastic so you can see the contents. The smaller drawers have a front panel
of a size that always seems to accomodate the card from a box of screws or
the hangtag of a Radio Shack part.

Ivancu is right, though, to point to Ikea for (especially to me) a certain
cheap, plywood drawer. They're big enough to hold larger parts or even PCBs
but small enough to pile a bunch together on a shelf. They're also so cheap
you won't mind being cheap yourself and just labeling the front panel with a
Sharpie rather than a formal plaque. I'd point to a locally-available
equivalent, but it's the kind of mass-produced crap you often just don't see
in the local mom-n-pop shops.

If you have an Ikea nearby they have some good solutions for your needs.
