First, think square and rectangular. Your cabinets
and drawers are square and rectangular so you want to take advantage of all the
nooksand crannies
Second, think plastic instead of aluminum, steelor glass. You can save weight by
using square or rectangular plastic containers. .
Third, think bags instead of boxes. A box of cereal has the notice "This package
is processed by weight, not volume. Contents may have settled during shipment."
Open the box, pour the cereal into a quart or gallon size zipping plastic bag,
remove the air and stack the bag on top of other items in your cabinet or drawer
Fourth, think folding instead of hanging…items hanging in your closet can be
folded and placed in stacking plastic tubs.
Fifth, think soft instead of rigid. Dirty laundry be placed in a pillowcase with
a shoelace threaded through the top as a drawstring.

Sixth, think individual instead of bulk packaging.
Take the individual rolls of toilet paper or paper towels out of the package and
stack them in available space.
Seventh, think multiple instead of single use. White vinegar can be used to
clean windows, mirrors, chrome, counter tops, toilets, etc.
Eighth, think usage instead of volume. You don't need more dishes, glasses,
cups, flatware or placemats
than you have space at your table.
Ninth, think filler instead of folded. Place extra washcloths and towels between
and around glasses, cups or breakable items.
Tenth, think dehydrated and freeze dried instead of liquid or canned. Many of
the canned food items can be found dehydrated or freeze dried and most just need
water.Found at
