Storage Tubs

[Guest JeepMom]

We are going to organize toys. So I'll need a bunch of sizes.

 

Where's the best deal?

I saw ads for Kmart & Target

Check any store for the red and green as they are clearanced after Xmas.

My Walmart didn't put any storage containers on clearance. Big sign when you walk in: All christmas items 50% off EXCEPT storage containers.

Lowes $3.50 a peice

Walmart has great colors, yellow, blue, red, orange that could help sort items and even who owns what colors. I love the bright ones, but I did see Lowes had some good prices. I would look for onesthat are rubbermaid if the kids are going to use them, they stand up longer than the cheeper brands with lots of use. I find they run about $1 more, unless you can find a good sale, but they do last longer in what I have used.

Last year, we got some really good deals at Big Lots after Christmas. Like the chest of drawers with the 2 small drawers and then 2 large drawers in clear/white. But I agree, if you find the red and green tubs (like at Target) they will be on Clearance.

 

Good Luck!

Target had tons of the red and green tubs tonight, but they were not on clearance. I even grabbed one to scan it and make sure. The smaller ones were $5.44.

If you have a Meijer they have 50gal ones on sale for 12.97. It was $6 off.

I have found that you have to wait a couple weeks after Christmas for the red & green storage tubs to go on sale. The don't go on sale immediately after Christmas b/c everyone is buying them up to store their Christmas items.

 

Big Lots is a great place to look for storage containers.

I got a big one (I can't remember what size, it was red and green) for $3.99 at Target. They had tons of them. They were 'on sale' not on clearance.

I thought I saw a 30% off sign yesterday at Target. A lot of people were buying them. Also, I think Lowe's has all of that on sale. You may want to call or check the website first. After you organize your house, feel free to stop by and organize mine. LOL

I went by our Lowe's yesterday (Georgia) and the containers had signs indicating that they were excluded from the sale.

Where's the best deal?

January is "Get Organized Month" with most stores. If you can wait until after New Year's you can usually find some really good deals on all types of storage the first two weeks of January. We did this two years ago and updated a little last year. We went with wire cubes for part of it-built them like a shelving system and they were 50% off at Target and Meijer. Many other stores have these items then as well. Stack-a-shelf products usually go on big sale as well. The 3ft tall two-door cabinet makes a nice bookcase for kids.

 

I'm sure the tubs/totes go on sale then as well, since I have a ton of them and never pay full price, lol.

home depot has 18 gallon rubbermaids on sale 3.33 each..

[elena_398]

I always buy my tubs at Target. Don't have the gallon size right now, but I bought 4 tubs (nice beige ones) for my christmas decorations this year. EveryDay price was $3.99. Nice size too

[Ferg1221]

Meijer 50 gallon $12.97 and 30 gallon 9.99.

[Guest koby]

got a flyer in the mail today from Dollar General with Sterlite containers advertised. They have a website dollargeneral.com. Hope this helps

Home Depot had the mid size ones 3 for $9 in Cincy.
