The Home Edit Organizing Dupes!! Cheap storage alternatives!!

[@NatalieBennett]

This was such a great video! We all thank you for these recommendations and the amazing work you put into this video, Marissa!

[@Joizygyrl926]

Yaasssss girl. Thank you for this. Pockets are not that deep when you're a homemaker living on a single income...

[@MarissaExplains]

For real!! 🙈 Save that money!! 😁

[@darcydrake6787]

I shop for bulk at Sams and have found that the containers used for the candy and nuts work great for things like popcorn, choco chips, beans and noodles. If you buy over time you will eventually have multiple containers that match. Best thing is they are free because you are recycling.

[@bonan.t.6053]

Agree, I do that too.. 👍

[@RedHotTamale91]

Ikea is great for organization containers! And yes, tj maxx, ross & Marshall's have a lot of acrylic storage containers 😊

[@dianemalek436]

Great ideas! Bed, Bath & Beyond is another place to look for some of those storage items and you can use coupons.

[@anthonythornton1949]

wow! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video with such a detailed explanation. I really appreciate it. All the best for you! :)

[@wishinggodspeed6732]

Great job! I encourage to check the BPA and VOC toxicity of the hacks. The Container store does a good job of having less toxic items especially, the clothing organizers. I agree TJMax and HomeGoods should be checked out, too. Plastic bins for food should only go in No BPA containers, personally, I use the amber glass Ball jars.

[@mtoussaint5395]

I go to IKEA for a lot of this stuff. They have the clear containers and more "green" options like bamboo and glass. Amazon is also treating their workers poorly so I'm soured on them :/ Thanks for doing all this research though. Helped me think outside the box more!!

[@jenniewren9351]

MToussaint We've decided to try and buy local rather than going to Amazon as we'd heard the same. Also just for the future of local shops and jobs. We've found some things cheaper by going to the retailer direct and sometimes we are willing to pay a little bit extra.

[@AmandaDavis6130]

My go-to’s for storage containers are IKEA, Dollar Tree, TJMaxx, and lots of thrift stores.

[@truepeacenik]

@MToussaint, how do the bamboo lids hold up? I received a couple as a gift, and I’m curious if they need special care beyond the handwashing all my dishes get.

[@fillerhandle]

Love your detailed description with links!! I hate when people don’t link stuff :( I know it takes a lot of a extra time and I appreciate it girl!

[@cecectconnecticut344]

I have been buying clear OXO containers for food storage. I find them at Homegoods, TJMax, and Marshall’s.

[@MDNELLEY]

My husband loves anything made by OXO 😂 it would be nice to be able to organize everything with that brand, but 💸💸💸

[@darcydrake6787]

I’ve been purchasing the OXO brand over time or my pantry. The only mistake I made is that we buy in bulk so typically I need bigger containers. I had originally bought the cereal size and should have bought bigger

[@sjcook65]

Did you compare quality/durability too? I love Joy Mangano hangers and have tried different ones from Walmart and Tuesday Morning. They don't compare. It's worth the price difference to actually get Joy's from HSN or her website or Amazon.

[@pmorgan777]

Bless you!!! I recently began doing this research on my own and thennnnn I stumbled on your video. You've just saved me so much TIME & 💰💰💰!!! I'm happy to subscribe. 😊

[@kreativelykinya]

That CS pantry door organizer IS an over the door unit but you have the option to mount the standard to the door if your door is hollow. I have two, but got them second hand at Habitat ReStore. So I saved even more! 🙌🏾

[@ayanawilliams2398]

I notice a big difference in quality when comparing Amazon to The Container Store. TCS items last very long and Amazon items usually don't.

[@Michelle-xk9gl]

I prefer Rubbermaid, they are made in the USA, not China.

[@kreativelykinya]

Too bad Rubbermaid doesn’t make products that look as stylish as these products.

[@91splamy]

I’ve got a few Rubbermaid containers and they are so good. I like that they are modular and a good price too.

[@deepwaterhappy3609]

I love "The Home Edit" organization, and how pretty everything looks. However, all that plastic... I'm enjoying their ideas, but executing them in glass instead.

[@Starsofneon]

Me too, except cereals because kids access them and could break them if in glass.

[@deepwaterhappy3609]

[@deepwaterhappy3609]

[@jennifercooper6390]

Thanks Marissa. This was my first time visiting your channel. I loved the container comparisons. It was really helpful. Thank you for spending so much time researching all of these options. I will be saving this video.

[@Gemagianni22]

I think ikea have some similar closet organizers. Also I think they have some acrylic storage.

[@itsmolly84]

This is awesome! I’m obsessed with the show as well, love the less expensive options

[@amitgood44]

Me too!!!! I want to do some organizing but the Container Store is expensive. Thanks for this!

[@akavienne]

I think by looking at only Amazon you may have missed out on some bargains. First, I would always look at your dollar store. Yes, sometimes things are flimsier or maybe not the color you want (spray paint, although more work), but I have found some very sturdy items there too. Also, include Walmart and Target (both have free shipping if you spend $35) and maybe even a Hobby Lobby or Michael's especially for baskets. Personally, one of the things that bothers me the most is people who over organize their kitchens. I don't want to have to take everything I buy out of the box and put it in a container. Then what happens when you buy more? Now you have to wait til you use all the old before you add in the new and where does that get stored? Plus, after a while, you have to wash that container and make sure it's fully dry before you add in dry ingredients. I just see that as wanting the pantry to look pretty, but not actually being practical. I just want things to have a place so that I can find it easily while being adaptable for when I might find something on sale and have multiples. That's just me though.

[@formerxphile]

Yes I agree! I live three hours away from the nearest Costco. I’m not putting everything in Containers. I buy lots because I don’t go often.

[@ananita6888]

The over the door shelving unit on Amazon is total crap, I just returned mine. On the other hand, you can find much cheaper alternatives at the Dollar Tree store, Ross, TJMaxx, etc.

[@abigailtorresbeniquez421]

Why it was crap for you?

[@jotamj6752]

Thank you for much for your hard work!!! I love every organizer bin from the container store but for $17 and up per bin? It’s ridiculous! I would be spent to like $500 to organize my pantry!

[@HK4seven]

This is amazing- you must have spent HOURS working on this. Thank you!!!

[@Heelsandholster]

Consider eco friendly options like reusing boxes for storage- reuse, reduce, recycle, and up cycle. You mention this as the end- love it!

[@breeetienne5850]

Yes. I love that idea also. And when all fails and you really need something "thrift" and "upcycle".

[@imagitext1342]

That was my thought too. A lot of these containers and separators weren't even necessary in the way they were advertised!

[@AmandaDavis6130]

And thrift stores! I’ve found so many neat boxes and bins at second hand shops, completely reorganize my kitchen with bins and dividers without buying new.

[@BrittanyAdamavich]

14:48 the stacking bins sell at the dollar store! I've gotten pretty see thru colors and kinda ugly solid green ones but you can always spray paint them if pretty ones aren't available:)

[@ananita6888]

I was thinking the same thing, how you can find many of these options at the Dollar Tree store. Also, Ross has a lot of good quality storage items for a fraction of the price you find on Amazon.

[@valeriaruzgys8348]

Ok

[@shannonmorrison8055]

The wire bakers rack you can find at Walmart for even cheaper than that, I got a huge one (No wheels, taller and longer) for $60

[@mrscorvo0831]

For the black velvet hangars, Sam's club had them last year as a box of 50 for $14.99 (at one point after I bought them of course they were on sale for like $12.99) but check out your big box stores too! That works out to about 26 or 30 cents a hangar. They have good sales on organizing items once in a while! :)

[@MarissaExplains]

Ohh excellent find, thanks for sharing! 😁

[@ananita6888]

Costco sells them for even cheaper, but I just got rid of mines. They are very fragile and break easily, although they do save space. I went Marie Kondo route and folded most of my clothes after purging them.

[@loramcclamrock5549]

Also recommend Tuesday Morning and Big Lots. Wooden container for fabric cubes are often on sale, especially for Rewards members. And the 11" plastic 3 drawer dressers fit nicely inside!

[@enchantedstarvacations9974]

Hi hon ! I wanted to drop by and tell you that this video showed up in my recommended. I am SO glad it did! I moved in with my now husband almost two years ago. I moved across the country from a home I lived in for 25 years. All of a sudden I felt so lost because my husband has lived here for nearly as long as I did in my previous home. He had spaces for everything in this home. I found myself trying to carve out bits and pieces of space around the house for my well everything. I recently had enough and have been on this serious organization kick to finally make things make sense. THANK YOU for this video and for mentioning the Netflix show. I’D LOVE MORE VIDEOS ABOUT HOME ORGANIZATION. ESPECIALLY things like unconventional storage like your clear candy box turned craft tray. I am a total repurpose queen. I use the plastic gum containers as headphone storage for the purse. I buy tissues based on what designs I like because I store things in them on my shelf. Anyway LOVE The video and plan on watching ALL OF THEM. GOD BLESS.

[@ThickNCurly1]

16:15 just a heads up for anyone interested in getting shelves like this. I found the major difference for the version with wheels is the shelves can not tolerate heavier items. I bought one a few years ago from Target and while researching ones at different stores, the one I got could hold upto 350lbs per shelf (no wheels) , while the one on rollers could only hold approximately 150lbs per shelf
