Eco thrift sounds great. Don’t have on around me. If they did I’d use it for sure. Love those organizers, I like having a place for everything so I know where to look for something. Looks good under there now, less stress when looking for cleaning items.
Well done on under the sink, it looks great. I’m loving the “lucky dip” of what you will do next. Have a great week. Mary, Joes wife 🙇♀️👏💪👍🙏💐🦮
The thingis you bought for like extra shelves for plates and mugs, I recommended like 10 Videos ago and always hoped you will read the comment or just randomly find these kind of shelves bc I was convinced it would help in the cabinets haha so happy you found them
And so nice to hear other people also not buying from certain stores!
Yes, stand on business:) I did the same. Remember, when you cancel these places, you still have the remainder of your subscription if you need anything more. After that, search for things you want online. Go directly to the companies website. We may not be able to do it all, but I think even a little bit is better than nothing:)
Agreed! I live in Canada and Amazon has now shut down all of their warehouses in Quebec because one of the warehouses are now with a union, so they shut all of them down leaving over 2000 people without a job. I along with you haven't shopped at Amazon for a few years, I do not like how they treat their workers. Good on you Libby.
They are just so unethical it's ridiculous! It's the least I can do with what's going on right now. 😭
I don’t have room to store bulk from Costco,but when I go as my sister’s guest,I ALWAYS get a rotisserie chicken!🙌🏻😅😂🤣
I'm so proud of you for using your money in the way that aligns with your values! Target just pulled back their DEI initiaves as well. So disappointing.
As for organizing, you can use all sorts of boxes instead of buying containers (using the bottom of a cereal box using skinny show boxes, etc). By using boxes, you can see how you like organizing things before committing to purchasing anything!
I love your commitment about not supporting “certain” stores! I am right there with you!
Nice to note that other people have the same principles. I live in the Netherlands, but I am also done with Amazon, including Facebook and Twitter. You can't block everything, but I do what I can do.
What a fantastic idea to count the chores and pull a new number every day. Both the surprise element and the preventing that I have to decide for myself what to do makes me happy!
I have another tip for you. Since a few months I have taught myself to fold all the plastic bags and empty garbage bags. It will surprise you how much you can store in a small plastic storage box and it is so satisfying not to find stuffed empty bags in the house anymore. Thank you for being who you are! I love all your videos.
I hate walmart. Stopped facebook, stopped Instagram, snap chat,and Twitter.
I do not like Amazon, but my husband does, so he shops there, I am also done with Temu ,and Shein
You can find storage containers at the thrift stores. I know, they aren't as cheap as they once were, but they are still a lot cheaper than other stores. I found so many organizing containers and shelves there along with baking dishes, etc. We sold our home years ago and got rid of so much so we could travel without worrying about stuff. We recently started renting full time to have a home base & I needed so much & I found so many nice things at the thrift stores. Everything I have now has been thrifted, gifted or inherited and our place looks adorable. Good luck. Btw, forget Costco, its not worth it for 2 people. We joined & realized we have no room to store 18 rolls of toilet paper. We won't rejoin this year. Good luck.
Agreed! I’ve bought all my storage containers at thrift shops. They might not match, but that’s okay 😊
Well done! You could stack pink stuff on top of each otherto create moreroom. Looks great Libby. My only thing about the number system is that it's going to take 19 weeks, and that's a little long for your mind to feel decluttered as well. Also to keep up with other weekly chores xxx Keep up the good work.
I take the roll of trash bags out of the box, and then put it in the bottom of the trash can. Then whenever i take out a full bag, i can grab a new bag right there. Doesn't take up any valuable storage space that way❤
Same!🙌🏻
Same😁
Same 😮
I love this game I’m going to try this. It will give my brain a break from having the dreaded list in there 😅
Consider putting your face tissue up in the pantry. Just in case you have a leak your tissue isn’t ruined.
Go to church based thrift shops and support them. They usually have everything you need even organizational items!
20:56
💯 with you! Consumers have unused purchasing power and that needs to change!
Thanks
Thank you so much!!! 🥰
I’m doing what you are doing with Amazon and Walmart for the exact same reasons you are. We have to stick together. 😁
If it helps you with the under sink organizer I hang my spray bottles off the sides of the top. the trigger makes a great hanger on the side. Can make more room if ya need it.
That was very productive & made you feel great! Awesome job.
I watched your video yesterday. I have opinions on big businesses backing candidates. Someone like Amazon should not be backing candidates one way or another. I am of the belief that businesses serve all people and therefore, should not go against or favor specific ideals. So, these businesses flip flopping back and forth deserve what they get. We should not put all our eggs in one basket. Meaning, don't become so reliant on one business that it becomes difficult to move on from them. Give other businesses that serve ALL communities a chance.
I’m loving your enthusiasm for the bowl method! You should do whatever works best for you. And I’m loving your soapbox moments too. You’re on the correct side of things and not afraid to say so - more people should have that attitude. Honestly, I’m so Type A that I wish I could jump through the screen and organize/purge your apartment with you! But you’re doing a great job yourself, keep it up! 🎉
I fully agree with the cutting off of certain businesses. If everyone does the same we can make a change ❤
But my darling girl, who needs a budget to organize and get rid of stuff. I understand you, dont think it is easy, it is not, but they say that if you haven’t it in six months you don’t need it, I go for two years, soI keep a paper supermarket bag in my kitchen and slowly but surely I stuff it with things I don’t use. 😂to tell you the truth, I rarely miss the stff….hahahaha. A Big hug for both of you from Chile.❤❤❤❤
I love your magic bowl method. Whatever works for you. It's a great way to get things done without any pressure. Loving your content!
You can put a plastic shelf liner on the bottom of the cabinet. It will look better and if anything leaks it's replaceable.
When I put down new,rolled linoleum in two smaller bathrooms in my last house,(a duplex we shared with my parents) I lined each bathroom cabinet and underneath the kitchen sinks with the extra pieces. It was awesome,super easy to clean any spills and saved the floor of the cabinet when one of the sinks leaked. You could also buy one box of “peel and stick” vinyl tiles and probably do the bathroom and kitchen cabinets. I would check a ReUzit store first,probably pretty cheap for one odd box.
It's all coming together!
Love love your initiative of spending stand in respect to our very own budget constraints...
Super beautiful collection of bowls you have well placed now TOO...gorgeous
The organizer under the sink looks great! I cut ties with Amazon because of discrepancies and it's been a year or more .
I'm so proud of you! I live in Germany and for years I've been avoiding Amazon, and my friends do it too. It's well-known they're shitty with worker's rights. I have my wish list there, it's a useful tool 😂but only buy things from them once I checked everywhere else. I'm also a student and have to look at the price closely 😅 Anyway, I've always wondered why American RUclipsrs don't seem to care about that and constantly talk about ordering from Amazon... I'm glad you're changing your ways! Boycotting works!
Have been watching for a while and love your videos! Well done tackling the stuff under the sink! 💪 It’s good to organise/ take inventory once in a while so you remember what you have. 😊 I agree with you about being mindful on where you shop. This year I wanna cut back on my shopping quite a bit compared to last year.
I am loving the magic bowl method Libby ❤❤
Hi Libby! So happy to see you! Under the sink looks fabulous! I have those shelves in my cabinet so save space. A lot of people are shying away from Amazon. I have also noticed there have been a big increase in third party sellers from overseas. I’m on a no buy challenge this year and really cutting everywhere. The cost of stuff if ridiculous. Thanks for sharing!! ❤❤❤❤
Yes!! Im.buying as little as possible outside of necessities 💪🏻 we got this and I'm so proud of you!
@ thank you Libby!!! 💕💕
I must be the only person on the face of the earth that has never purchased anything from Amazon. LOL! Also never been to a Starbucks. I know I'm weird.
@@AZHITWI’m right behind you,I’ve been to Starbucks once and a friend ordered something for me from Amazon once. I have been a hardcore thrifter for over fifty years and actually prefer it,even when I can afford otherwise. My best deal at the Humane Society Thrift Shop in my city was a new looking set of four,heavy duty stainless steel cooking utensils for four dollars.(Ladle,slotted spoon,etc.) I went home and immediately donated four corresponding plastic ones and looked up to see that Williams Sonoma sold the same set for forty dollars!🙌🏻
I’m actually very interested in this fish bowl idea. My counselor never told me about that. I can’t wait to try it.
I like your system of pulling a chore paper out of the bowl. It certainly works for you. You seem so perky lately which makes me happy ❣️❣️
Seeing you so happy to organise because you made it a game was awesome. Keep up the great work
If you don't use it you lose it. We think of muscles and brain cells. But we need to apply that to life. Do you like local drug stores-use them. Like being able to try clothes on in person-use those stores when you can. Like theater or band in your schools , sports go to their events even if you don't have kids. Like a bookstore to explore, use those. Use it or lose it applies to our communities.
The white wire cabinet shelves are sold at Dollar Tree. They are not as strong, but they work just fine. I 've had them for years for my cups n plates.👍🏻
I agree! Unfortunately Amazon is like an addiction to me…I’m going to try a bit harder to stop shopping there.
very nice neat job 😀 i like the under sink organizer 😀
The metal shelves holding your mugs can be found at the Dollar Tree for $1.25. Best place to go for organization & cleaning supplies! Also, put any paper products in your linen closet. I learned that the hard way when my kitchen sink leaked! 8 rolls of paper towels, a pack of napkins & 4 tissue boxes!
Although a little costly,maybe all of that absorbency saved you from a bigger mess?🫤
I would also need the sticky notes all over on everything or I would forget to utilize the fish bowl 😝
My son worked I amazon UK for 1 year. It ruined his confidence. Every day they told him he had not done enough work. Didn't tell him what his target was. Just today you did 90%, next day it was 95% never good enough. Nobody got 100%
I had one of those shelves in my amazon cart as well. lol I love Aldi though and will have to look there. They do get in some good organization stuff occasionally. But, they only get so many and then they're gone. Have you ever considered making your own natural cleaning and laundry products? There are easy recipes online with natural, simple ingredients, usually just two or three. You would save lots of money and the bonus is that they're non toxic and so much better for your health, not to mention the storage space you will free up. I use vinegar and water or peroxide and water to sanitize, sometimes alcohol. Dishwash liquid and water for cleaning just about anything. Baking soda when you need a little more cleaning. I seldom buy premade cleaners. I do like plant based cleaners. Method has an all purpose cleaner that I like. For laundry I like the recipe that uses arm and hammer washing soda, Borax and fels naptha soap. It works great and is so much cheaper than buying premade detergent. For organization things and other items for the house, also clothing, I like to shop thrift stores and yard sales. That's something simple that we can all do for our environment is to reduce, reuse and recycle. Our landfills are so full and if we all do our part by reusing what's already here we can make a huge dent in that. My favorite thrift stores are our local one where all the proceeds go to the humane society. And church operated ones that use the money to help people. All are staffed by volunteers. I'm not saying I don't enjoy a trip to homegoods or tj maxx occasionally but, I try to limit those trips. lol Edited to add, another bonus to natural cleaning products is, my son and I are rarely ever sick. I started using more natural products when I had my son, then started doing more research when he was diagnosed with tourettes syndrome at 4 years old and shortly after, with Autism. I wanted to cut down on toxic things going into our lungs and bodies. (My son will be 22 in February).
Love the magic bowl and it looks so nice under the sink.Great job organizing 👍Thank you for sharing your thoughts ❤
❤ love it!
Kelly you chose well.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Same. Deactivated and deleted all my meta media. Pulling myself out of Amazon next. Then finding a replacement for Walmart for groceries.
Do you have an ALDI? It’s my favorite!🙌🏻
@@lauramitchell6725 From Canada. Not sure we have that here. Definitely not in our area. It's a smaller town with mainly Walmart or Superstore. But there are some smaller mom n pop places that I would rather support. It will just be a matter of switching our routines.
Hey Libby great work!! I think I’ve made a new observation while watching today. I think u have too much inventory n u continue to buy inventory (sales or deals) despite the size of ur new apt. I think u should consider how much smaller this place is compared to ur last apt when u had room for all the inventory? This is totally well meaning btw & said w love & kindness 🥰
Yay Libby. I agree.
Your magic bowl got me inspired! Thank you an uplifting video about decluttering and cleaning products 😊 I quit Amazon a few years ago after receiving a gift certificate that got me to buy crap that I did not needed and somehow automatically signed up for prime?!? When I noticed, I reclaimed my money back and no longer supporting this profit greed anymore!
Love your supervisor (fur baby)
Great Job ! You Got this, Libby ! It could, also, help if you went to system of one bottle/box, that is stored behind or under the one that is being used or opened, at the time. This works for me. That way I never run out of something in the middle of what I am doing/or eating. Having the "spare" one stored, as your back up, lets you easily be able to continue with what you were doing or eating with the next spare bottle/box. This, then, gives you time to buy the new "spare" the next time you are shopping. This works, obviously, with your food as well as your cleaning products. When you only have a little bit left in your cereal box you can go right to your spare box of that cereal to have a full bowl ! And having only 2 of each thing cuts down on the space you need for inventory.
AND before I throw away the empty bottle/box I leave the used up/empty one out somewhere I will see it until I can put it on my Shopping List to buy the new spare the next time I am out.
Yes to this entire comment! I do this exact thing and never run out of anything mid stream!🙌🏻 I put the item on my shopping list when I OPEN the last one,not when I’ve finished the last one,because now it’s an EMERGENCY and I refuse to be bullied by my inventory!😂🤣😅
@@lauramitchell6725 Laura, I'm always thinking ahead to the times when we get a bad storm, someone gets sick, I have car trouble so I can't get to the store, or even the store ran out of the product. So this method gives me more time to always be sure to have a good supply even when unexpected things come up. As I said before, when you are using the 1st product you can have another brand new "spare" & "back up" that is stored behind or under the current one that you have opened and are using. Then when the 1st is empty you can still continue on with the "spare" until you can buy your new spare when doing your regular shopping. And don't throw away the 1st bottle/box when it is empty until you write it's replacement on your future shopping list .... in order to buy your new "spare" again, later on. Leave the empty one out somewhere to remind you to write it on your list and then throw it away ! Hope that helps !
@@annebingham7583 👍
Great video Libby!!! Awesome job with the under the sink clean up and organization!!! ❤😊
Love your vlogs and always look forward to watching them. 😊🎉❤
So far aldi, meijer and trader joes are still good to go to.
I love the idea of the sticky notes. Nice job
I felt every bit of your joy in this video… pulling a number you were excited to do, and happy it wasn’t a location you’re dreading, then the shock at how quickly you completed the task, the chain reaction of other areas that now have more room… all of it were things I experienced when I did this technique. I bet we’ve got similar brain chemistry because my response was so similar 😂 you’re motivating me to get a new magic fishbowl started myself! I want to do it for areas that need to be deep cleaned. Like annoying areas… between the washer & dryer, under the fridge, the bathtub, etc. I bet it’ll work for that pretty well too. 🎉
Also so completely totally with you when it comes to ditching Amazon, etc. No big companies in capitalist America are perfect, but I agree that some are better than others. I buy secondhand whenever possible. Buy Nothing groups on Facebook (I know, ick to Facebook) but even yard sales and estate sales are great places to find used items (like storage containers, home decor, etc). I’m still shopping at Ralph’s, Costco, local small businesses, and our local farmers’ market. But to be honest shopping small usually also means more expensive - understandably so since it’s not stuff made in china with cheap labor. But if I buy (consume) less in general then I don’t feel as bad spending more at a local shop to get one or two things vs the 17 things I’d get at target that I don’t really need lol 😂
Brilliant 👏 idea honey. Can I steal this idea for my friend. Try help her get started. ❤❤❤❤
You can get some good organizing stuff at the dollar store.
I know that you are much younger than me,but in time you will find that you dont need to buy that many things. The main thing i end up buying is dawn powerwash, and bleach. Those two items will clean almost anything. I had so many cleaning products that i never used. Less inventory saves money and space.
I only buy Dawn,Magic Erasers,and OXYCLEAN.( Not just for laundry,I also scrub my white dishpan clean and leave some in the toilet bowl for a few hours) Once I discovered that Windex had wax in it,😖😵💫I clean all of my mirrors and glass with a wet washcloth and wipe dry with another.
I have a roll of very thick shelf liner that I bought a long time ago in a discount store. I lined under my sink with it. It's plastic so it doesn't leak through if something leaks. I also live in a small apartment in New York and had to organize everything. I love to watch you for ideas. Keep up the good work!
I love Amazon and Walmart and can’t see me not shopping there. 😂😂😂
👍🥰
Looks great. I suggest the mugs on the top rack be turned upside down. They could easily tip over & fall. Maybe get a plastic bin for your trash bags & Kleenex. The Dollar Tree has small bins with a handle that you could place your extra sponges in; hang on the hook.
Walmart can kick rocks, they did me dirty and I'm not one to forget being called a thief and a liar when their cashier overcharged me for some produce. An event I like to call "Grand Theft Cucumber." Like people are walking out with big screen televisions and they think I'm going to steal a vegetable that's 90% water. I also cancelled our business card at Sam's Club.
I keep very little under my sink, dish washer tabs, Pine-Sol, vinegar, appliance polish, and my paper towel dispenser.
I have a similar organizational shelving under my bathroom sink area...but yours looks like it rolls better than mine. It does help a lot with space saving though...so will keep mine for now. I need to get a few of those cabinet shelves like you have in kitchen for your mugs. I have several mugs as well for when family comes over. Also want one for vitamins and supplements. Enjoyed video.
I love thrift stores because, I a reusing things that might end up n the landfill sooner rather than later. But ye using lifts do increase your space exponentially. Like surplus could get stored up way above cups. Great video today!
Great Video ❤
Thank you so much! 🥰
Dollar Tree for cleaning and organizing items.
Hello ❤❤ great video 📸📸 thanks for sharing 😁 Stacey from Virginia 👋🏽
Thank you Stacey! I’m so glad you liked it! 😊
100% agree with where we all spend our hard earned money. Focusing on our community small business and thrifting and with companies that aline with our values and care about all humans.
Hi Libby. I have found great storage items at thrift stores. Not necessarily goodwill, but others.
Second hand stores are great!
I bought something like this for under my bathroom sink, works great
I love hearing that! 🙌
I have one of those in the bathroom and 2in the kitchen, love them!
Looks great
I'm glad you like it!
Good to see that u are keeping up with everything. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Try dollar tree. Baskets on shelves or even on top of fridge. Look cute and hide the chaos of cereal boxes and chip bags.
Yep Aldi, it is Huntington Home. You are such a bright spot!
I love your soap box.
Here is what companies I cannot buy from: Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby and Walmart. Companies treat Women employees badly.
What are thoughts about Target and Home Depot?
I love to hear where to shop instead of Amazon. No I am never going to buy from Temu.
Truly hate Amazon.
TJ Maxx stores trigger my anxiety. So crowd. KOHL'S does the same.
I don't find things at Home Goods. Found there is limited supply. If you don't buy it when see it they will never have it again.
Thanks for standing up moral values.
Thrift stores!🙌🏻
I think you for this and I do like under the cabinet cabinet very nice. God bless you 🙏❤
Really enjoying your bowl method to get things done. May try that soon also!
Libby, great job! You could hang a little rack or basket under your sink on the right... there is space!
I'm with you on Amazon and like corporations.
Screw em!
the small shelves in your dish cupboard and a lot of organizers are also at Dollar Tree
Yes but I notice each location has different inventory. And if you do find one that does, it’s out of stock.
Speaking from experience, looking for those.😂😂
Bravo!
Good job it looks great🎉
Great job ❤❤
The pick something to do from the bowl thing seems to be really motivating you & speeding the declutter up. Win, win. Well done! ❤
Its really working wonders for me!!
@@SimplyLibbytI don't wonder: You just need to discover all of your to-do places once. Then the pick from the bowl makes it obsolete to think again and again and again about what needs to be done and make the decision what to do next. You can easy accept what to do now and have a quick start and even done experience which is encouraging you for the next pick: focussing one task and get it done.
Everyone needs to find a way which works for just you.
Actually I'm thinking 🤔 about changing from doing the dishes in the morning while preparing coffee (no machine, just hand brew) to the evening before starting to watch TV. It's so pleasant to come into a clean kitchen in the morning but some days the energy level in the evening is too low to handle the dishes... To implement it as a daily routine and to follow that "whatever gonna happen, I'll do the dishes", I think I will stay with the morning as my energy level is constantly higher at mornings.
Have also been treated poorly by walmart (husband’s employer for 20+ years) he took a 41% paycut.
Love that under the sink organizer! Great job! Have a great week! 😊❤
Hi Libby! Happy 2025 to you! Thanks for the vid drop. When’s the next Sunday live? No pressure, was super fun last time 😊
I'm hoping next Sunday when I don't have the kiddo! Our schedule got thrown off so ive had him the last 3 weekends 🤣
@@SimplyLibbytYay! Looking forward to it. I hope the rest of the cheese advent calendar was a joy. CHEESE TAX! 😂
Ohh I got these in cream and black. Use cream in my toilet. Holds all my toilet rolls and products. Other 1 is in my living room with my craft things. They are really good. ❤😂
Good job
❤
Dollarstore has a lot of stuff to organize without paying an arm and a leg.
I deleted my Amazon acct and Temu..I wasnt a big buyer anyway but I want to support local.
❤❤❤😊
Do you have a Dollar Tree near you? They have tons of organizing and cleaning items.
