I just threw my fancy ball containers in the donate box and sent them to the Goodwill because yeah definitely not airtight… Pretty but totally un functional

i grew up doing the #2 and hoestly it worked for my mum and me every single time and my mum got it from my grandma too, it keeps our food visible and in perfectly stackable containers, it was and is a coping mechanism for ADHD in my opinion and honestly it doesnt take that much time at all, and this is coming from someone who has ADHD... if you want the aesthetic stuff with the cutsie labels and stuff then yea maybe but if you buy the items regularly and you know the package size then ive never had big issues with the food not all fitting into the container, plus its easily visible and stacks well compared to bags and bags of stuff, so i will be continuing this "trend" in my house that i just moved in with my husband. we leave empty containers out so we know we need to buy the item and refill it, the item gets bought, opened and put in the container and the container gets put where it belongs

👍🏻

Nice list! ❤ I checked out your channel but it looks like this is a recent post and other posts are years old. Will you be doing more posts? I appreciated you putting this one together.

oh ok, this video is teaching to spend more money we cant afford for better quality storage containers.

I've had to decant all grains and nuts into glass jars because of a food moth problem. What they don't show you in pictures is that most of the time the containers aren't perfectly filled up, but some may be half empty (or more).

Try not to drop your voice into a gravely croak at the end of sentences.

Lol i just bought 1 of the pants hangers. So far I’m liking it because I use it for some slacks I keep for when I need to dress for interviews or conferences. My jeans and sweats I fold (they will bend hangers). But I work in a hospital so most of the clothes I wear the most are scrubs and they are not on the pant hanger because I don’t want to fuss with it daily. But 2-3 times a year I go to the one hanger I know will have my slacks rather than having to handle multiple hangers that hold slacks 2-3 times a week when I just want my nice t-shirt.

Love your cat! 🐈

THank you for the tips. And may I compliment you on your live cat decoration. Your kitty would enhance any space. Nice touch!🐱

Would like container recommendation on keeping spices from clumping in the south humid US.

I'm at item 2, you are spot on! With item 2 you will also have the left over boxes of stuff that doesn't all fit into the container.

I use Elfa components in my closet exclusively. Pricey, but well worth it. Powder-coated steel, wall hung top bar or freestanding (I have both), you can add, subtract, or rearrange shelves or drawers as easily as playing with Legos! I stay with 2' wide units so shelves and drawer components fit my bedroom and garage Elfa units interchangeably. For my bath, I hate counter clutter so I do what I did in college. I have a caddy for body wash, shaving supplies, and face wash. It lives on one of my closet shelves, readily accessible but out of the way. There is nothing lining my tub or cluttering my counter.

I found decluttering the best and eliminated the need to store stuff you don’t use

I have tried some foaming soap dispensers. They LOOK real good, but they leaked so badly I tossed them. The factory dispenser bottles may not look snazzy, but they just WORK and don't leak.

Kids pinching fingers is a LEARNING opportunity for the little runchkins. Auto locking, yeah, THAT is a less than optimal feature for home storage.

"Buy it right or buy it twice." I like it, nice restatement of "Buy once, cry once" which is commonly said regarding tools.

Love your kitty. So pretty. Enjoyed the video.

Great video, helpful tips.

Love this informative video!

It's the cat for me he gives 0 fks about a video 🐈🐈🐺😂😂😂😭😭😭😭😣

I used to store my extra bedding in one of the bigger three drawer plastic containers from Walmart. They just took up valuable closet space. 😔

I have some medium sized stacked plastic drawers on my bathroom countertop. I found them in the office accessories at Walmart. They're made of a hard clear plastic and I like them so far. Before I went shopping for them I measured the stuff I wanted to put into them. I hadn't had luck with things that used suction to stay on the walls and my one vanity drawer in my apartment bathroom was overflowing. I had a good deal of counter space and just wanted to corral the stuff I used daily to keep them dust free and make it easier to clean the counter rather than having to move everything off when I cleaned it. These drawers have worked for me for the past few months and my counter seems to get less dirty now. Since they're clear they also remind me to floss more often. 😁 I think before you buy something for storage, measure what you'll be storing so you get something that fits and get a feel for how durable it is.

I was so worried your cat would knock something down, lol 😆 🐈

I like the multi pant hangers

Baskets are my weakness, but they collect dust and unless they are square, they take up too much space.

I think it is a direction which might be useful to explore further i.e. negative reviews of products.

The other problem with individual storage containers in the kitchen is that you need to rotate stock, just as they do in shops. If you don't use up the contents before you add new, you're just constantly putting fresh stuff on top of stale and that's makes it all stale. It also means you've got a full bag of, say, flour on the shelf with a couple of ounces in the bottom of the storage jar for however long it takes to empty it.

6:30 Hello! Might I please ask where to find / buy the slide- out pants bar? Couldn’t see the link in the description. Thanks in advance. 😊

I have the multi tier pants hanger that looks like a rectangle with the bars going across. It has the bar the pants hang on that swings in and out and latches on the other side of the hanger. Super easy to load (I alternate sides I load from so it’s easier to access the pants), no bending and holds an incredible amount of weight. They have foam on each bar so it doesn’t crease the pants and the pants don’t slide off. I actually load two pairs of pants per bar. I’ve used them for years and they’ve save a ton of space. You should give those a try! The example you showed in the picture doesn’t have the latch on the other side, I can see how those bent on you

In Australia where I live, Aldi had the food storage containers for keeping berries, lettuce etc fresh. First use the lid snapped in half on the berry one, on the first use the side clicking flap broke on the lettuce one. Sheesh. I HATE plastic for anything but a friend had bought them for me as he knew I always complain about my lettuce going slimy. Yeah, great products - not! Oh, and they took up so much space in the fridge I couldn't store other stuff. Great video, but I was soooo worried fluffball would knock over your vase! 🤭

Stacked plastic drawers that works, Muji drawers, swear by it, but not cheap

Ugg I just purchased all those pretty clear plastic seal at top tubs for all my stuff in my pantry😢 I love the kitty in the background

My son pointed out years ago the things I bought to organize were actually creating clutter.🥴

those plastic separators promising to keep your clothes organized and intact when you remove from the bottom of the pile. They do not work for thicker clothing such as hoodies, pants etc, tend to dislodge when trying to remove a thick piece thus toppling and unravelling the pile, and you have to manually fold to size to fit the separators which is time consuming. I replaced them with those "dress book folding board". It acts as a folding guide to have perfectly same sized folded clothes, even if your folding game sucks. Good for the OCD obsessed. Works for more varied types of clothing. The ribbon keeps it in place, does not matter if your pile topples, your clothes stays folded. Cons, it takes a bit more space as it adds bulk but I have had my clothes all over the floor, still neatly folded, which I just restack under a minute.

When is the last time this guy has gone shopping for women’s clothing???

I don't mean to be rude, so I hope it isn't taken that way, but a lot of the trends I've tried actually work with no issues. It just depends on which person you follow that has these trends, lol. I was watching one the other day and I absolutely love this lady she has amazing ideas but I got to adding up and thought yikes it would cost more for me to build the things she was using and the items were only 1.25 a piece haha. I think these yourubers are really trying to save folks money, but sometimes that's the damper in the project that it would cost more to use a cheaper product, lol. On the other hand there are a lot of trends that are really great! And the youtuber doesn't make extra money off of links to the product. Sometimes, they are really trying to help and also grow their youtube.

I keep most things like doaps. Spices, detergent in their purchase containers. I use containers for grains, and legumes. I use the fridge boxes for small items like butter sticks. The rest i find very overwhelming

OHHHH, this is precious!!! You were so cute and so focused! Beautiful.

Storage trunks are great if you like stubbed toes too!

I am soooo happy to hear you say this about pants organizers!!! I’ve been trying to like these things FOR YEARS.
