Operation Declutter

My Dream Closet 

Reality check, my closet is half that size and I have a ton more clothes than that.  I’ve been totally on a decluttering mission.  I just hate organizing, cleaning!!!!!!! 

Trying to keep New Years resolution, so first step was to watch some free episodes of those decluttering shows on HG TV’s website.  Main tip I got is to get rid of stuff you don’t use and group all your “similar” objects together so you see how many of one object you have (so you don’t keep onto stuff you have a lot of and prevents you from buying more of stuff you already have a lot of).  For me I always keep buying grey and black slacker like sweaters now that I’ve started to group them together I realize I have a lot and I don’t need more. It’s also great idea because you learn to return objects to designated spot.   

Anyways, I conclude that I must not be the only slob in NYC because there are literally tons of stores in NYC for organizing.  The container store is like this magical toyland for the OCD !!  Target and Bed Bath Beyond are filled with super cool containers and closet things.  Only problem is that everything is super expensive !!!!!  So I’m going to start touring my local dollar stores and discount stores first before forking over a ton of cash to be more organized.

SO far I’ve only been to one dollar store and I’ve found some great deals!!!!!!

Pop-Up Laundry Bag

Instead of getting it at Bed Bath and Beyond; I found it in dollar store for $1.49 each   make it $1.29 each at my other dollar store!!!  I bought two because that’s all the space I have room for .  You could buy more just because these babies once folded take up less space than a t-shirt.

Amount saved  {$14.99-$2.98  2.58}

$12.21

Clear Storage Box (for shoes and misc items)

Container Store so far has the best price at $1.89 see below.

And I can't believe how much of a Rip Off Target is along with Staples.  Both stores have them around $6 a box ridiculous!!!!!

The funny thing is if you don't mind having a color top, my local Dollar store has the exact same boxes even same colors for $1.19 each!!!!!!!!!  If I were to buy 5 of these at the Dollar store, I'd save myself $24.04!!!

I've only been to one store so far I'm not going to grab them yet.  The frugal girl in me is aiming for $.99.

More to post about later... after i get my camera to work.
