It's not always necessary, but sometimes a new product can make a space so much more efficient. A few things to keep in mind when spending money on organization items:
- Don’t buy stuff until you’ve gone through and weeded out what you don’t want. You don’t want to buy stuff - to store stuff - that you don’t even want to keep!
- There’s a really wide range of prices available. For example, you can go to a dollar store, and get plastic bins for a couple dollars. You can also get bins at The Container Store for four times as much. Now, the quality is different, but sometimes it’s not so much that it matters for your needs.
- Sometimes, if it’s a specific product that will really make your space efficient, you may have to shell out a little more money that you anticipated. But, if it's a specialty item, it'll likely be worth it.
- Consider functionality and style before buying something – especially if it’s something you’re going to see.
