Tip of the Week: Kitchen Cabinet Storage

Like most of us, I try to keep things organized. Especially in the kitchen, since I cook a lot. But since we moved into our new house, I have really had to re-think where and how I store things. (You’d think with more cabinets and storage space, it would be easy!)

If you remember in my last tip, Tip of the Week: The Closet Monster, I shared a link that focused on organizing with things from the Dollar Tree. Well, since then I’ve been eager to go shopping! Well, I went by Dollar Tree today and got some great finds!

 

These neat baskets, only $1 I might add!, fit perfectly in my kitchen cabinets! Since I didn’t know if they would fit when I bought them, I only got 2. I’ll be going back for more!

And what’s best, they have a handle so you can pull them down. Great for tall cabinets. I just took a dry erase marker and labeled the outside for easier identifying.

This would be great for snacks, especially if you have kids. Either assign a bin to each child, or have a general Ok snack bin.

I’ve also seen people who are dieting use these in their fridge. Filled with healthy choices when you just have to have something! AND, I’ve seen a woman use these in her freezers to organize pre-cooked meals.

I love the Dollar Tree.

Tip of the Week: The Closet Monster

I follow many organizational blogs on Pinterest, and recently came across something that I've been dealing with.

Outgrown clothes. Ugh, they are never ending!

I had, for a long time, just used a large shopping bag and had them put clothing that didn't fit any more in them. It hung or sat in their closet. But soon you have this horrible monster bag that is spewing clothing all over and gets mixed up with their current outfits. Not to mention, if you are a person who resells their outgrown clothing, most places won't accept them if they aren't in a tote or bin.

No good.

Then I saw this ridiculously simple idea of putting bins, labeled (this label movement is crazy man!), in the closet instead!

I followed the original pin back to CREATE-CELEBRATE-EXPLORE a lifestyle blog by tonya staab . She used bins from Target (for $5.99 each), a sheet of printer labels, and some chalkboard paint.

I think that with a less expensive bin from the Dollar Tree, you could recreate this project for much less! (In fact, here's a link to a blog post about organizing your house, with things from just the Dollar Tree!)

Follow this link to the post!

I hope this tip inspires you to get more organized this year! Or at least today. I won't judge, lol.
