Works for Me Wednesday: Thrifty Organization





Ideas from The Complete Tightwad Gazette: stamp dispenser, magazine holder used to store mailing supplies, and tissue-box grocery bag holders.
I am a very organized person. I have a million binders with clear front and side pockets so that I can neatly label what is in there. I own (and use) a label maker. Organization is fun! But organization can also be spendy. I have spent quite a bit of money on plastic containers to store things. So whenever I can use items around the house for organization, I do so. I got these ideas from The Complete Tightwad Gazette- there are lots of great ideas for organization in there! Think outside the box (or think what you can put in the box!).
Cheap organization. Works for me!

I'm like you - I like to use household stuff for organising. With the cereal boxes, I wrap them with pretty paper first though.

Using a tissue box to hold plastic bags is a great idea. I have a cute wooden bag holder I bought cheap at a yard sale. But...now you've given me the idea to put a tissue box for them under my bathroom sink. The cat litter box is nearby, and I would always have bags handy!
