How to get organized from GOODWILL

by Filed Under: Money Saving, Organization

Thrifting to get organized?  You betcha.  I wanted to share with you some of my favorite organizing tips when shopping thrift stores (namely the Goodwill, but you could be pretty much anywhere that carries housewares.)

All thrift stores are not created equal (see more on that here), but there are a few general finds that make AMAZING home organizers and all Goodwills have them.  Even if your Goodwill caries basically junk.

(Easter Eggs of this video…organize your tupperware lids and store your towels!  You won’t regret it!)

Happy New Year!  I’ll be posting again on Friday!

DOLLAR TREE ORGANIZERS… my faves <3

by Filed Under: Dollar Tree, Money Saving, Organization

I HAD to get this video up because if you need organizing products NOW is the time to get to Dollar Tree.  I was there today with Carson and holy bananas, it was beautiful in all its gloriousness.  Ahhhhhh (that is the sound of angels singing a sweet melody)….

IMG_5687Sad fact is in a few days time this area will look like a disaster and there will be nothing left.

Hit up the WHITE items this year, get your labels, and get cracking on those organizing products.  And don’t forget to send me pictures.  I love that.

Here’s what I did this week to help out my mom and her new place.

Also, have you entered in my Dollar Tree Giveaway, yet?  Make sure you do! <3

Also, take a look at our Linen Closet for even more ideas (this video is a bit older, but all the systems are the same!)
