Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it.I purchased some cupboard organizers but I have not put them together yet. They will eventually give me some extra storage space to hold items.
For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why?In Canada our stores don’t have nearly the selection of the American stores for organizing options (based on videos online) but organizers for kitchen pantry items are costlier and not as stylish. Clear plastic storage containers are more expensive here which is what I prefer so I don’t lose items.
What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff.Oh I love free/inexpensive organizer ideas. The videos from “Do it on a dime” makes it very affordable to organize on a budget. Plastic storage boxes can be spray painted if the colours are too bright or don’t match but are the perfect size. File organizers can be repurposed to hold reusable water bottles for example. She has lots of ideas and most come from dollar stores.
Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode.How do you organize for the future? With the cost of everything going up it’s hard to know what the best plan is for buying now what is surely to keep and get more expensive as time moves on.
