Welcome back to the show my Friend! In last week's episode I gave you a permisison slip to START SMALL when it comes to getting organized, and tackling all those little organizing projects around your home or in your life. Building on that...I don't want you running straight to the dollar store with credit card out throwing any cheap organizing product you can find into your cart. We need to answer the question, are dollar store products worth it? If we are starting SMALL when it comes to getting organized, then isn't the dollar store an acceptable place to shop for some of the tools you may need to organize your closet, cupboard, bedroom etc? In this episode today, we will talk about... I want to give you 3 SIMPLE TIPS to keep in mind when you are out shopping at the dollar store....or ANY place where you can find organizing products for 'less' to help you determine Is this worth it? Am I actually paying more than I mean too for this? Is the quality going to stand up? Is it wiser to invest in something else that is sized better for my space?   We don't want to fall into the trap of thinking that organizing products have to cost a bunch of money...no. I am not here for that. BUT we DO have to be careful and strategic about what we are buying and where from. So keep these little tips in your back pocket next time you head out. Happy organizing friends, and all the best! -Amy Next Steps for You...

Welcome back to Fun Friday's! Have you ever arrived home from the store, SO excited about the new winter coat you just scored on sale. As you're telling your husband, "Look how cute it is! It was only 20 bucks!" He says, "doesn't she have a new winter coat already..?" Indeed, he is right! You totally forgot that you had already purchased a coat and now have to go to the hassle of returning it. I don't know about you, but with so many kids in the house I have a hard time keeping track of what clothes and shoes we have at any given time. Specifically outdoor wear as those items tend to be the most expensive and are passed down from kid to kid. Have you ever considered keeping track ....like an actual inventory list of the coats, boots, mittens, snow pants, all those things you have. So you know at a glance before the start of ever new season if you need to be buying some larger sizes. Or when you are at the store to help talk yourself OUT of purchasing that coat you don't need because you can easily see from your list that you already have a winter coat in that exact same size at home...just a slightly different style. Well friend, I have tips for you today to help you tackle this project for yourself so you never have to wonder again. In this episode today, we will talk about... The three steps you can follow to create your own simple inventory list, to help you know EXACTLY what outdoor wear you already have. As well as knowing exactly what size you need for the following season. By creating an inventory list of your children's outdoor clothing and shoes it benefits you by... 1. Preventing over-buying of items you do not need 2. Knowing exactly WHEN to take advantage of good deals and sales at the change of seasons so you are prepared with the right size of coats, shoes etc for the following season 3. Have a better idea of what articles of clothing you can pass on to siblings or friends and family   Next Steps for You...   Join me in my new coaching program: https://www.plantomom.com/coaching Join the FB Community: https://www.bit.ly/mommin3community Become a M.O.M Insider: https://www.plantomom.com/mominsider
