Hi, everyone. So in this video, I'm going to share with you guys how to organize all
of your plastic storage containers that you have inside of your kitchen cabinets. So maybe
you have like a whole cabinet that's just like bursting with like lids and bottoms and
stuff and it's just very hard to contain. I'm going to show you how I organized mine
to make it really easy to access, to know what you have, and to make putting leftovers
away less frustrating. So let me grab the camera and show you guys exactly what I've
done.
OK. So this is the cabinet where I keep all of my plastic food containers. Now, it has
lids to my pots also because my pots are in this cabinet over here which I'm going to
save for another video. But this is really what I want to show you guys. I want to show
you this and then I want to show you up here.
So this is a pullout organizer that's made for cabinets. Now, it's not necessarily made
to hold Tupperware and storage containers but I just like to use it for this purpose
because I thought it would work perfectly.
So what I've done here is besides install this organizer, I have sorted all of my plastic
food storage containers by size and then I put all the bottoms together and all the tops
together. So back here, I have all of my larger tops in the very back section then there is
a divider here kind of dividing them up. So large tops and then I have my medium-size
tops here and then my smaller tops here so when I'm coming to grab a container I can
say, "Oh, do I need a small, medium, or large?" And then go to that exact location.
And I did the same thing with the bottoms here. I have all the mediums at the very bottom
of the front section and then I have the smaller ones kind of nested on top of each other like
this. And then I have all of the large containers because it didn't really fit nicely down here
at the very top of the cabinet.
Now, I have another one, I think I have like two more of that are actually in the fridge
right now being used. So those go there.
So I just like how they're very easy to access. Yeah, they're just easy to access. And when
you store the bottoms separate from the tops, it saves a lot of space. And yeah, it just
saves a lot of space and it makes everything easy to access.
Now, do you have to use the same product that I used to get the same look inside of your
cabinet for organizing your storage containers? No, absolutely not. I just really like this
one. When I saw it in the store, I just knew this was going to work so beautifully because
I saw the dividers, I saw that they were adjustable and flexible and I knew that was exactly what
I was looking for in order to contain all my lids by size and separate them from the
bottoms. So that's why I got it.
Now, if you want to know more information about the product, you can visit my website,
Alejandra.TV. There are more details there. But if you don't want to get the product and
you want to get the same look inside of your cabinet, what you can do is you can just use
containers. You could even use like storage containers just like this to contain all your
lids.
Like what I would do is I would just use one of these bigger containers and I would put
all my lids to kind of stack the same way inside of the bigger one. I would probably
do all my large lids together and then my mediums and smalls in a separate container.
And then I would probably nest like the medium-size containers and the small containers. Nest
these ones inside of another large container or if you don't want to use these containers,
you could just get another container and nest them inside of those.
So there are other ways to organize your Tupperware containers without having to go out and get
another product. I just like this one and I knew it was going to meet the needs of what
I was looking for.
OK. So something else you want to think about when you're organizing all of your Tupperware
or your food storage containers is when you're organizing them, you want to only put back
the pieces that go together. So you only want to put back bottoms that actually have a lid
that works and lids that actually go to a bottom that like click or clasp nicely.
If you have like random lids that are inside of your cabinet that don't have a bottom to
them, ask yourself, "Why am I keeping these lids?" Like maybe you can repurpose them in
some creative way. But if you're not using them and they're just taking up space inside
your cabinet and you don't have a lot of space, then consider pulling them out because you're
not using them because they don't have bottoms.
And something else I want you guys to think about is, think about how many like containers
you actually need. Like when was the last time you used all of your containers inside
of the refrigerator? Like for me, I've never used all of my containers at once inside my
refrigerator and was left with an empty Tupperware cabinet. Like that's never happened to me.
So when I was going through and organizing all of my containers, I pulled out I think
like five or six old containers that I never used that I'm going to repurpose and put in
the garage to organize, I'm not sure yet. If I don't use them in the garage, I'll use
them in some kind of closet or in the office. I'm not sure.
But consider pulling out the ones that if you have too many and you aren't using, just
take those out, repurpose them, or if you can't find to use them recycle them. But just
don't keep too many. Like ask yourself, how many do you really need?
OK. So that's how I'm organizing all of my plastic storage containers. Everything is
very easy to access. It's visible so I know what I have. It's easy to put away, easy to
grab, and it's working for me.
So if you are looking to organize all your plastic storage containers, I hope this video
was helpful. If you want to know what products I use or you want to see more pictures of
the space that I just showed you guys, you can visit my website at Alejandra.TV. And
I'll see you guys soon. Bye! 2
