Another use of Command Hooks: I'm a senior, living alone in an apartment. To make certain I not only can find my keys before going out, but more importantly to avoid FORGETTING my keys before going out, I put a Command hook about 3 inches above the doorknob. When I come home, I put hang my keyring there, so I CAN'T go out again without seeing the keys and taking them with me. If I were to give someone basic advice for organizing in the kitchen, I would direct them to find trays/bins for the fridge that are the length of the depth of their refrigerator. The biggest contributor to forgotten and rotted food is being out of sight. I no longer have that problem by using these deep-reaching trays/bins. When I pull it out, I end up seeing EVERYTHING contained in it, which reminds me what I have and what shape it's in. I've had far less things go bad since I started using them. Clear, translucent, opaque; it doesn't matter as much as being able to reach all the way to the back of the fridge.

Very stressed out travelers trying to rest if their junk in at the gate. Our bags were so organized it only took a few minutes and they were just as neat afterwards, thanks to packing cubes.

The Command Hooks CAN be used over and over again, but I've found that the adhesive strips DO have an expiration date (of sorts). I used an old adhesive strip to put up my rack for holding keys, and it let loose from the door on one end a few days later. Adhesive strip was a few years old -- maybe being in a hot storage unit helped render them less adherent. Just gotta make sure your adhesive strips are on the newer side and not yellowed looking. That's your hint that they MIGHT not be up to their usual quality.

I didn’t get the 30% off my elfa this year - it was 20%, but because I was a pop awards person they gave me an additional $200 for spending $2K. I used that to buy the Cricut Joy and extras for labeling. I also purchased via Rakuten to get another 2% rebate. I don’t think the Container store elfa person was too happy that I wanted to order online myself versus her placing the order, but it was my money and if I could get my savings to 22% versus 20%, I’m taking it. Umm, I love how you have the packing cubes layered in that suitcase. I never thought of that way.

I've been using the Pop up containers since they were first out. I've only had an issue with one or two of them getting a crack in the bottom. Which was from moving and not me dropping them. I've dropped them many times too! I highly recommend investing in them. They will last so long and still look great. They also don't scratch and I've never had a seal wear out, break, or crack. The seal wearing out was my biggest concern when I first bought them I also love command strips, even if sometimes they take off the paint. They're incredibly convenient.

Yep, I could clearly see during the first Oxo box mishap that you hadn't pushed the lid all the way down - the opposite corner was sitting a wee bit higher than the corner closer to you - so as soon as you started shaking it I knew what was going to happen, and I was not disappointed. I did lol when I saw you extol the virtues of turntables after saying that spice drawer organizers were better because you kept turning them like a merry-go-round and not finding what you were looking for.
