How to organize your home on a tight budget

[@DoItOnaDime]

We have a designated hanger for them in our closets. I believe I show it in my closet makeover for my husband. I've also seen people show baskets that they get from the dollar tree and throw them in. Good luck!

[@gigglesjenni]

Ever look back on your older videos and feel that sense of pride when you see how far these videos got you 8 years later? You are an amazing person. Keep it up! I love your videos! 👏🏽🙌🏼💗

[@momof2momof2]

I love Kathryn's videos! It's interesting to watch her older ones like this ones.....now she is a Mom of one and soon to be another one. I have learned so much from her videos. My bedroom closet looks amazing and my pantry/laundry room look amazing because of her. I encourage you to watch all of her videos including her Do it on a Dime Family :)

[@ksandstone6757]

I saw your video and decided to try the basket idea. And I really liked it! Even though I don't have much stuff, I like having "a home" for everything so that I know where it goes, and I can reach for it right away. It helps me feel like I'm being a good steward of the stuff that I do have. Thanks again for the idea!

[@dragonstrove8175]

I've shown almost all of your videos to my mother, who wants to organize them home. She said "Wow! She's got ideas for everything!" Totally love watching your videos. Truly you've inspired me to become creative with space!

[@DoItOnaDime]

thank you :) i believe it was from either walmart or target, but i know they carry similar products at both. good luck!

[@DoItOnaDime]

Thanks :) I got the cabinet from BB&B a while back! I'm pretty sure they still have them...

[@sOdEeP406mUsIc]

loved the video, thank you for the tips and mostly for your uplifting positive personality! you are raising the vibration of others who watch you too, whether they realize it or not, which is extra needed in our world every day!

[@katrindox]

I like your organising!!! Especially I like the idea with jars in the bathroom!!!

[@BitsOfThisNThat]

Love your video , ideas, attitude and outlook. So cheery and chipper!

[@meghanandersen3668]

Can I just say that your bins make me happy! My husband always says “oh my word, you and your darn bins!! Nobody organizes like that!” Ha! I’ve been using bins for years and years because it feels so clean and less anxiety inducing. Recently he asked me to help him organize his garage. Guess what he said “I can’t believe I’m even asking you this, but I need a bin idea...” 😆 the teaser has become the student!!! Loving your videos thank you!!

[@darknessbtw-_-9557]

Thank you. I'll definitely be using some of your tips. Its great that you went through the whole home all on one clip. Makes it more handy to access.

[@cbatt99]

I loved your laminating tip. I have been using it and I just made some awesome labels for 2 wire baskets I have in my office for photo albums and maps. I printed the labels on some parchment type resume paper, cut them out, wrinkled them up and then lightly singed the edges with a lighter. I laminated them and hung them on the baskets and they look so cool- thanks to you! Love your videos!!

[@Parmesana]

good job. In my kitchen cabinet I have a couple of those drawer trays..baking spices in one and savory spices in the other. After the jar of spaghetti sauce is gone..and jar is washed out, it is a great size to put dry rice or beans to store.

[@JessResourceful]

Your growth is amazing. Been watching you for a days in 2020 😊. Ready to declutter and organize EVERYTHING. NC love. Bless you.

[@EKW111]

Kathryn, you've inspired me, and I've found a few things at my Dollar Tree that are helpful organizing in our house. Have you ever used diaper boxes for organization? There are lot of DIY videos/blog posts on how to cover them with fabric. I haven't tried that yet, but I have used scrapbook paper. Sturdy, no additional cost in our household, and pretty once I put paper on them. I'd love to see a video if you do a project with diaper boxes.

[@DollarTreeDiaries]

I just bought some of these. Thanks for sharing. You have given more ideas.

[@mariasaenz418]

thanks

[@MonogramGold]

I recently bought the green square bins that you have in your bath closet. Considering the thickness, I find it a really good item from the Dollar Tree. For this fall, they have brought out the same design but in a deep purple, red and orange colors. And, I bought the larger version for my office cabinets (boss seemed pleased to see things more organized). I recall in 1 of your videos you saying to keeps colors the same to give a cohesive look. I'm drawn to the green DT offers. I love it!

[@samdawg12]

I absolutely love your energy and thank you so much for the ideas you have given me. As you mentioned, my wife is a little messy but its time to reorganize our apartment. But thanks so much again.

[@joyhandy74]

I like how you organized. I got some good ideas from you on how to fix a my areas that have become a black hole of sorts.

[@KarenPorethriftygreenmom]

I love this video.. and your other Dollar Tree ones and yes Goodwill/Thrift Stores have like the BEST purses lol. It's always a game for my sister and I to see who can get them 1st!!

[@angelalucas1190]

I LOVE your videos!!! Its inspiring me to actually go to the Dollar Tree to start getting organizing stuff! I knew they had organizing stuff but didnt realize how much i needed to start organizing until i jad a child lol!! So thank you amd i look forward to more videos!

[@DoItOnaDime]

I got them from Dollar Tree as well. I've gone before and they are sold out, but they are still on their website, I think. I'll put the "laminating" video on my list. :) Take care!

[@Eyerusalem_]

You''re a real and personable individual. Your whisper at 4:30 even shows it lol thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@Lesley1000]

Yes I use food cans. Ive used soup tins with the label off for some of my sample perfumes and even some flat mackerel tins (I know it sounds gross, but when they are washed they are fine and not on show) and I use these for Kirby grips and other hair slides:)

[@rondakellee9017]

I think your videos are great. Yesterday I organized my bathroom. I used several of your tips and because of you I used a couple of things already had. I also got some things at Dollar Tree. It saved me a lot of money. I have watched several of your videos and I think you should have your own show. Great job!!

[@michele1955a]

try using long laundry baskets for deep kitchen cabinets to be able to slide out and reach less frequently used items. a real knee saver!

[@tressaza]

I'm out of breath just listening to you talk, but love every second. So much information without a lot of extraneous chatter. You seem like such a nice lady.

[@debadev2179]

I like her a lot she makes it easy and fun inspires me to do more

[@fayeangel4323]

thank you for your kindness and sweetness

[@DoItOnaDime]

aw, yay! doesn't it have great stuff? i wonder if you don't have a DT where you are if you could order things online and have them shipped. take care!

[@saudademe]

I love how you utilize dollar store or inexpensive items to organize your home! Excellent tips.

[@prettypistol8850]

This organizing video is the best I've seen because it realistic for the majority of people. Those dollar stores can be lifesavers.

[@auntshea04]

love that you coupon and also your ideas are awesome this will help me get more organized

[@Weird1Nessa]

OM- Jibabah!!! Love the way you think! Organize on the cheap side and spend on the fun stuff! Great ideas with making odds and ends organized! You could move so easily and do spring cleaning so much easier. I'm impressed with the fact you took it as a fun challenge rather than a task. Great JOB!!!

[@janicebradford9780]

That is so sweet and you are so adorable. I enjoyed watching you grow up on you tube. I love your Videos.

[@neenabean8283]

love this! im obsessed w/ bins and baskets for organizing!!! :0 i have the green bins in your bathroom closet for my laundy storage too.

[@RufflesRibbonsNBows]

This was such am awesome video full of great ideas that I definitely will be utilizing! You've inspired me and I can't wait to get started with my home. Thanks so much for posting & God Bless! ♥

[@arslp]

LOVE your ideas and enthusiasm. You inspire lots of us. Please keep it up!

[@sharonmariewatson6855]

TOTALLY love your style and shopping sense!

[@lemyaknight]

I did just one shelf in my cabinet where we keep the snacks(it was a HOT mess) with your suggestions and my DH was like "Wow that looks good!" I felt like an organizing goddess LOL!!! I'm going to keep my eyes open for inexpensive baskets and then I'll probably spray paint them so they coordinate with the décor. Thanks for the ideas! Love the energy!!

[@robinnosullivan2951]

You are adorable!! I love that you move through pretty quickly as well!

[@zanosaurus]

Kathryn - I love your videos but I've never commented before so I decided to come back to an old favorite for my inaugural comment! Keep up the good work! (We used to live in an area without a Dollar Tree, however we recently moved and there's on nearby. My husband actually laughed when I pointed it out because he knows I like to watch your videos, and he knows you like the Dollar Tree :) )

[@kmslhowell]

LOVE the goodwill and yes their purses are GREAT!!! Lots of great ideas!! TFS

[@TheSweetpea73]

I just found your video today and I love it. I wish you come over to my house and help me organize. I used to be really organized until my daughter starting walking and it's been hard to keep things clean and organize.

[@princesseris89]

you can use magazine holders for canned goods makes a nice little dispenser and clip clothes hangers to seal bags of chips and cereal if you have the wire shelves in your pantry

[@inspiredcare2309]

enjoyed it, I too store my cotton balls and q-tips and white floss picks in clear jars, I use Mason jars and have tan labels and it really pulls together that southern looking I'm striving for , I live in a single wide, with my husband and four kids, and my coupon stockpile, lol, organisation is my only means of sanity, Mason jars are my new organisation tactic though, I think cause I can decorate and organise :) :) :) get it girl!!!!

[@FreeSpirit47]

I enjoyed this, received great tips, motivation & inspiration! You seem like a natural organizer! Thank you!

[@DoItOnaDime]

unfortunately i don't. when i lived in spain, i used to go to those cheap stores that were usually owned by people from asia that sold lots of organizing products. i've seen them there before for just a couple of euro. do you have those in finland?

[@bpm124]

I absolutely love your energy!

[@DoItOnaDime]

I wish I had a friend like you, too! Most of my friends don't organize/bargain shop the way we do. It's totally an adventure. Take care!

[@DoItOnaDime]

i don't buy any upholstered furniture or anything that could harbor them. and i always inspect things well before they come in the house!

[@nafordebi]

organizing and ur video gave me great ideas to use all the dollar tree and target bins etc THANKS!!!!

[@DoItOnaDime]

Having separate baskets for lights and darks work really well for me so it doesn't get full so fast. A laundry room tour is on my list! Thanks for watching!

[@sheri4673]

Nice Video! Thank you for some great ideas! Let me add for the pet owners out here- the best food storage tip that works for me is to store dry food and a scoop in a kitchen drawer- inside a slightly smaller plastic bin to line/protect the drawer. Now, my dogs don't chew or scratch- some pets might just claw their way into the drawer- my don't, not for 4 years of storing their food this way. It's soooo easy to feed every morning. I also use a dish-drainer pad under their food and water bowls- it catches a lot of drips that otherwise turn into wet paw prints....

[@debtisdum]

Where have you been all my life?!?! You are speaking my language...Cheap & Organized! I SO look forward to watching your videos!!!

[@joyhandy74]

Looks good! I love to laminate with packing tape, it's how I make pretty paper bookmarkers. I also love the dollar store!!!

[@rosiesnotebooknook1]

very cool. Excited. I like dollar tree. the closet is my fave...

[@janicewoods3072]

I really love your videos.you are a pleasure to watch and you offer good information.

[@anestesia420]

Love your ideas! They are great! And I can't wait to use your idea for organizing the bathroom products w/ labels....!

[@nafordebi]

omg if u people think she has way too much stuff u would probably faint if you saw what I need to organize , I have around 80 purses and probably as many pairs of shoes , most of them are organized , but in a room that's soooooo not working my way to that room, starting in my kitchen then bathroom hopefully today , and living room then bedroom thennnnnn the spare bedroom housing all those shoes and bags ... I need another body here to help ugghhhh , as 5 nights a week I work and have to sleep during the day it gives me 2 days to try and do everything ok rant over .... don't be mean people she honestly helped me figure out what to do with my mess!!!!!!!!

[@Yemircan]

Why don't you resell the things you don't really need? That way you can earn extra cash and have some space. I would've said donate but sometimes you cannot donate everything. And there's less trustworthy organizations these days. So, reselling is a good idea (:

[@kris0369]

sell half your stuff dear ....then you won't be so stress out ugghhh

[@reesecaprice3466]

Deborah viner I wrk nites too n I only get 1 day off n I jus moved so it's a real cluster fu$$! This helps

[@gsagadin]

great video. Thanks for mentioning the prices of everything! It helps to know where and how much something is. I love the white bathroom.

[@swellmarynell]

If anything I just love hearing you explain everything...lol...you are too funny and so into what you're doing. Thanks for all the info and the inspiration! I'm gonna check out the rest of your vids!

[@KishaMiles1]

Oh my goodness you are the best you tube find EVER!!. Please keep making videos. Special Request: Do one on couponing. I'm struggling to get into it because I never seem to find coupons on things i buy regularly

[@DoItOnaDime]

that's awesome someone else out there knows the trick. love it! thanks :)

[@curlyshow]

OK yeah, this is what I've been looking for. Organizing for the average person. Not another show home, renovation, or impractical ideas for renters. Off to the Dollar Tree! Love your "lamination" machine!

[@MaximilianImaging]

Dude, you are awesome. Love watching your vids.

[@goodgirlgeorgy]

Neat ideas...love the cosmetic bags in the cabinet...you can find lots of them at the Goodwill store. I have some I use to organize my purse! One has pen, paper, calendar, checkbook. Another has my make-up, another has my camera and extra batteries, one has my cell phone and address book, etc.

[@ouvickie]

I re-use the zippered plastic bags that pillowcases (I buy all my bedding at Ross) come in for bottles when I travel - baby oil, perfume, makeup, etc. They are handy, easy to clean, see-thru and it's not a tragedy if you end up having to toss one.

[@DoItOnaDime]

Thank you, Holly!

[@DoItOnaDime]

the US is very big on the coupons. i've heard living in Australia is very expensive :/ boo. hopefully some deals come up for you!

[@cocoblac]

Well done honey, in these times you have the skill on how to orgainse within a small buget... I love your intelligent budgeting and organisational skills and am also applying to my own home organisation.

[@u4ious]

Great organizing tips. God Bless. There is so much stuff in a modern household its baffling. keep em coming.

[@DoItOnaDime]

I know it! :( Mine NEVER has them, though. I don't know if they sell out, or my store just doesn't carry them. I paid a premium $2.50 @ Target, I guess. :)

[@MirLuvsYHWH]

Omgoodness! I love this!!! Thank you!! I wish you could come help ME organize & label my house haha but this video will help so much. And my hubby is the SAME WAY, so I WILL be labeling everything for him ;) lol thanks again!

[@DoItOnaDime]

cool! i suppose you could get your duct table from the dollar store as well to save...i know they come in fun patterns :)

[@patriciablackwell1462]

It so nice to see that organizing doesn't have to be super expensive. Thank you for posting the video.

[@supynorr]

Thank u - went to dollar tree and got my $ baskets - lovely blue linen closet - ALL ORGANIZED!!! Can't THANK U enough.

[@DoItOnaDime]

We have a linen closet in the hallway :) I made a video about it if you want to see the organization. It's called "Home Organization Tips...for under $5"

[@jbjfan3262]

I love these ideals I really love the bathroom cabinet one.

[@Jordanfacekilluh]

They have those green bins you have in your kitchen cabinets at the 99 cents store!! I love the storage options there!!

[@kathydid47]

Love the tape laminating idea! Great video. I'm hopelessly unorganized and we're down-sizing so I seriously need to "straighten up"!!!!

[@lovelyladyblueeyes]

love it... this is exactly what I did with my stuff, labeled it and now my hubby doesn't make a mess anymore :)

[@organisedinlondon5674]

I do the same when I organise! I completely agree - organising isn't about spending lots of money on items. Great video!

[@theIrishGirl2007]

Wow!! Thanks for sharing what works for you!! Very well done!!

[@rellaist]

[@franceanner]

Wow! I love your ideas and they are not expensive...great job!

[@kankan21888]

You don't know how helpful this is!! I love that magic word $1.00, I watched a video and was going to order bins for $30.00 and $60.00. Thanx!

[@francesandrews5506]

[@superprettytia]

[@prettypistol8850]

Those dollar store bins are a life saver when it comes to organizing a home,,and they are sturdy.
