  • Stockpile Organizing: 3 Easy Ways to Stay Organized (New Video)

    I often get asked how I organize my stockpile, so today I’m going to show you 3 things that I do to keep my stockpile organized at all times.

    Bins/Baskets

    The number one thing that I recommend when starting a stockpile is to use bins whenever possible.

    I always recommend using bins, because they will help you to keep your smaller items contained and not falling all over your shelves.

    To save money, use the bins you already have on hand. This could be a plastic bin from the dollar store that you already have, or small cardboard boxes.

    Categories

    Tip #2 is to have categories. These are very important when you’re stockpiling.

    Categories to consider:
    - Health & Beauty
    - Food
    - Household
    - Kids/Baby
    - Laundry

    Setting up categories is really going to help you to find things when needed, which will prevent your items from expiring before you actually find them.

    Donation Station

    My final tip is to have a donation station. This is just an area in your stockpile (or even another area of your home) where you keep all of the items you plan to donate.

    Keep it all in one area, so that once that area is full you’ll know it’s time to take it to be donated.

    Those are my tips for organizing your stockpile.

    There are many ways to keep things organized, so do what works best for you. The important thing is to store your items in a way where you are able to use them before they expire.

    Do you have any tips for organizing your stockpile?

      I want to say I love your site, your forum, videos, books, etc…. One thing I noticed when looking at your wonderful stockpile is you (and perhaps others) have lighter objects like paper towel and toilet paper on the bottom shelves. I think the light items should be on higher shelves to prevent the unit from being top heavy and falling over. This being said, if the units are attached to the wall, there are really no issues. I have not attached mine and perhaps this is why I noticed it. Shame on me! :) You do an amazing job!

      We have a donation station too! That’s a smart idea. We don’t have the nice donation station shelves like you — we just have boxes from No Frills. Hahaha.

      Thanks for the video. I really like videos — I learn a lot from them.
      Keep the videos coming.!
