She has a lot of spaces in her home to organize, but not so much of a budget, so what should she do? Most people concerned about their budgets are concerned about buying the supplies & containers that are involved in an organizing project. Let's talk about how to recycle & repurpose some containers on the cheap so that you can save there & still have great results. We get all this packaging in our lives- from the grocery store & the warehouse store. Baby Wipe containers, check containers, business card boxes, egg cartons. This is a brand of rice that comes in these squared off containers that are clear. Take clear packing tape & take the original packaging from something you buy in bulk or that's in a flimsier bag & take that clear packing tape & cover the original label onto the new clear container so you preserve the instructions & the nutritional information & yet you still have a sturdy, accessible container that's easy to clean. This is what I use in my own jewelry drawer for earrings- a package of frozen mini-quiches. I have my earrings in it, it works awesome, & it cost me nothing. There are so many things that you can repurpose, but how do you know what to look for in a good container? You want something that is nondescript, does'nt have a whole lot of colorful words & labels on it, or if it does have labels, that they are easy to remove. You don't want to look at this & see what it used to be- you want to see it for its new purpose. Look for containers that are square or rectangular because they use the space more efficiently. Clear containers are usually better so you can see what's inside. Look for something sturdy, something easy to care for & easy to clean that doesn't have a lot of grooves & crevices in it. I have noticed that when people start getting in the mindset of repurposing & recycling containers, sometimes they have a tendency to hoard these containers. I don't want you to do that. Set a limit & any more than that, recycle them. It may be perfectly good, but it's not perfectly good for you if you have an excess of them & they're taking up space. The other thing I want to caution you about with repurposing is that sometimes when you feel like you're making do with a container, it makes you feel kind of bad when you open the cabinet or look on the shelf & go, "Yeah, I really didn't like that solution. I feel like I cheaped out on that." If it makes you feel better, splurge & get the right container so you don't have a negative influence when you're looking at that every day. I want you to feel good about your organizing success, feel good about your stuff, & feel like you've respected your stuff. If you're reusing something & it doesn't feel good, give that another thought. If you really want to save some money with your organizing projects, one of the best things you can do is utilize our service. This is why I invented Clutter Diet.
