Sometimes you need just the right container to deal with the stacks of stuff to be sorted. If you know where you want to store the items you are sorting, measure the shelves or space so that you buy the perfectly sized containers that will best fit in that area.

There are thousands of containers to choose from. Rubbermaid™ makes some of the best, www.rubbermaid.com, in my opinion. The Container Store™, www.containerstore. com and Space Savers™, www.spacesavers.com have a wide variety of organizing supplies that can be purchased online.

Your larger hardware stores will also have a variety of containers that you can buy locally. Plus, department stores such as Target and Wal-Mart™ have storage containers in the housewares department.

Don’t buy too many containers before you have sorted your clutter or at least measured the area where you want the containers to be stored. Measure the depth of the closet, the height of the drawer and the length of the shelves to be sure that each container fits in that particular area.

You can then calculate exactly how many of the same container can be stacked and stored in that space. Budget Closet™ actually designs their cabinets specifically so that the most common containers will fit side by side and easily slide onto the shelves without bumping the hinges. Fantastic!
