If you’ve ever been to the Container Store, then you know it can be kind of like a trip to IKEA - a feast for the eyes but also overwhelming. Here are a few shopping tips so you can find what you need easily, buy the right product the first time and enjoy organizing.

1. Measure your space before you go to the store.

This seems so simple but it will make a huge difference when you are shopping. If you want to buy the right product the first time, check your measurement against the items in the store. The Container Store makes this super easy too. Most measurements for the organizing products are located on the shelf label below the item.

2. Shop the entire store.

Products can serve multiple purposes. If you can’t find what you need in the kitchen section, try the bath, office or garage sections. Organizing products can serve more than just their intended purpose.

3. Buy more products than you think you need.

The Container Store has a great return policy. If an item is unused, you can take it back! Buying more products than you think you need gives you a variety of options for when you go home to organize.
