Tightwad Tuesday: Organizing for Pennies

Oh holy cow.  How much can you spend organizing your things?  If you go out and buy totes and baskets and furniture....you could spend a whole lot of cash.

Problem is, once you get back from that shopping trip, you're too tired to organize!

If you read my post about kitchen reorganizing, you know that I used what I had in the house, and it worked out just fine!  If you missed it, you can check it out here. 

I've found a few very cost friendly and smart organizing tips online I'd like to share with you.  These are not ones that I've tried but oh, they look like things I'll just have to do in the near future.

This is just dying to be done....it looks good and makes a whole lot more sense than digging around in the basket I currently use!

Laura Thoughts genius magnetic makeup storage
This is a great way to store bathroom items at a reasonable investment.  Think of all you could do in a bathroom with little floor space but ample wall space.  Organize vertically!

My Home Ideas bathroom basket storage
On to the kitchen....this is pure genius.  Free paint sticks and some cup hooks.  This goes in the "why didn't I think of that?" category!

Infarrantly Creative organizes measuring utensils
And my absolute, number one, all time favorite idea so far....maybe because I have too many pairs of flip flops.....

EPBOT is my new favorite place
This is incredibly genius.  I can now stop coveting the "official" scarf hangers and stop wishing my cheap frugal self would part with the cash for one.  I'm making my own.  Today or tomorrow, if I remember to pick up the shower curtain rings.
