Organizing Your Car for Less Than
$100
By: Casey Eisenberg
Within the last month I was lucky
enough to get my dream car. It’s a 2010 Subaru Outback. Very clean, well kept,
and the last owners took better care of it in the time they owned it than any
other car we had looked at. Now that I have it though, It is time to get it
organized! I don’t usually keep much in my car but what is in there at the
moment is kind of just thrown wherever it lands. I do not have kids nor are we
planning on any for a few years so that’s what makes it so possible to organize
it for less than $100.00. I will post how to organize different cars later this
week including with multiple children.
The biggest part of my car that
needs organized is the front console. I have multiple cords, bottles with
vitamins and supplements, 2 check books, and a mess of other items. In here, I
really need to take most of the stuff out that I am not using on a daily basis
and take it in the house to put away. The only things that I want in here in the
end are: Phone Cord (to be stored in cord turtle from the container store.),
AUX cord (also to be stored in cord turtle from the container store), and I
will put my reusable shopping bags in here as well. I got these from the
container store as well, they were $8.49 each. They fold up small and can hold
50 pounds! When they are open and unfolded they are: (19” x 3” x 17”)
Next, I need to organize the trunk
or rear of my car. I go to the grocery store once maybe more a week and
recently ran across a website that sells organizers for the trunk!
(trunkorganizers.com) They have a 6 way trunk organizer with thermal pack (for
hot or cold food) it keeps all the groceries organized, and prevents spilling (That’s
never fun to try and clean up!) The nicest thing, it folds up and can be stored
flat! Saves space when not in use and is functional?! Doesn’t get much better
than that!
Here are the total prices:
Trunk
Organizer:
$47.40 for 8 way trunk organizer
with thermal carrier, and a free wet pack! That price is total shipped!
The
Container Store:
Cable Turtle: 2 @ $4.99 ea. (these
hold up to 27” each.) :$9.98
(I ordered
these with other items so they shipped free.)
This means I got my WHOLE car
organized for much less than $100.00!
This method and these items would work well in any car you needed organized! Stay tuned to win your own car organizer kit! Remember to subscribe and share all over, we need 10 subscribers to win these items!
