Am I the only BEE in this bunch?
What was the bee description?
“ Bee
Bees are visual organizers who likes to see their everyday used items out in the open. Bees also tend to be perfectionists who like a detailed organizing system, with many categories for their things. A Bee struggles more than any other type with letting go.”
I have to add….I don’t have a detailed organizing system that would be recognizable to anyone else. But my things are organized for me. And really…I have NO trouble letting go of things I don’t use. So I’m not sure how I became a BEE.

@thumper1, I’m a BEE, too. You’re not alone.

I had a hard time with the quiz, with multiple answers being relevant for some things. So I just decided I’m probably a Mutt.

Spices are a jumble, though any duplicates are on my basement pantry shelves. And aside from occasional guests, I cook mostly for myself, if from many different cuisines. Then there are the ones only used on Thanksgiving, or for Christmas. And the special ones purchased when traveling, which are amazing. Don’t get me started on sauces.

Spices are on my to-do list for today!! My three Lazy Susans arrived yesterday. I will post before and after pics after I am finished.
I had a disappointing trip to BB&B yesterday looking for an under sink storage container I had seen on their website. Found the brand and several products within it, but not the particular one I was looking for. So, I guess I will just have to order and hope for the best.
Weather is supposed to be rainy again today. I get more done when the weather is not great because I don’t want to go out.

BB&B was great for me with ordering. Right before Christmas, I decided on a certain gift for DH. BB&B had had it in the store a week earlier but when I went to get it they were out. I ordered it in the store and I had it two days later – three days earlier than promised. I was impressed.

We used BB&B online for the first time this Christmas and had a great experience.

Don’t forget 20% off coupons for BB&B. I don’t go there often, but I must have 100 coupons. (Hint of my organizational dysfunctionality, right 
)

If you order online, you can use BBB coupons that haven’t expired.
One of my favorite Instagram design follows recently was gifted professional organizers to come to her home after a big move. Today she listed some of her favorite products from that experience - most are available on Amazon. I think I could use the water bottle holders! Mine are always rolling around or falling off the shelves!

On a recent thread people discussed how they organize their corner cabinet lazy susans. I implented the idea to put all my glass storage containers there and it’s brilliant. Previously it was difficult to go through them in a cupboard without pull out drawers.

The baggie thing is genius, though I have a solution that I like. I don’t have time to get/post a pic now but will later maybe.

I buy the mega sized boxes from Amazon and I have one drawer which basically is laid out the same way that device is except it’s just my boxes of snack/sandwich/quart/gallon laid out in a pattern that fits the drawer perfectly!
I do have reusable ziploc bags too and just sort of stack them up. But I could use tips on the best way to dry them (I was them out manually - dishwasher seemed to mess with the “zipping” mechanism) I don’t want to put them away wet, but hate that I basically just drape them over some tall item like my olive oil container on the counter!

My solution to drying the reusable storage bags is one of these type things. I snagged it from my sister-in-law for just this purpose after her youngest no longer used bottles/sippy cups. I was tired of draping over whatever bottles I had at hand.

I don’t quite get how you use it? I guess I don’t see how they “stand up” on this. Can you “hang” more than one at a time.
I was thinking you were going to show me like a mug tree…
This is the stand I bought for drying water bottles and reusable bags. It folds down flat and is super easy to store when not in use.

Added that to my Amazon wishlist. I do like that it’s multipurpose.
That’s kind of cool!
