You can purchase command cord bundle strips or make your own cord solution a lot cheaper. I purchased self adhesive hooks. I placed one on the side of my smoothie blender. I took an empty cardboard TP roll and covered it with inexpensive contact paper. I punched a hole in the TP holder and put it on the hook attached to my blender. Then I tucked the cord inside.

The cord to a small appliance placed inside a cord saver made from a hook and a cardboard toilet paper roll.

Boxes that are marked "MT" to denote that the boxes are empty.
Marking Empty BoxesI am always looking for free storage. Shoe boxes are great except you can't see what is in them. What is more frustrating than not knowing what is inside, is not knowing if there is anything inside.

Bread tags marked with the names of different electronic equipment.
Use Bread Tags as Cord LabelsDon't toss out bread tags! They can be used as a way to organize and keep your cords labeled and clear. No more digging around to figure out which wire goes to what.

Small kitchen items stored inside a crockpot.
Store Small Things Inside Your CrockpotWhen I used my crockpot recently, I was ready to put it back in the drawer and realized there were things that would fit inside, making room for the mixer and pizza stone.

Parts of a complete outfit all stored together on a hanger.
Put Entire Outfits TogetherI have a strapless dress. I have a strapless bra and a shawl that I wear with it. I clip them all together on the hanger the dress is on. It makes it easy when I' am going to wear it.

A coat rack with hanging onions, potatoes and extra plastic bags.
Making Use of a Coat Rack in SummerThe hall coat rack was not serving much purpose after I removed the coats so I started using it to hang onions, potatoes, plastic bags and my apron.

Computer Extension for Organizing Chrome BookmarksEveryone these days has a computer they use for email, looking up information, and sharing ideas. It is so easy to jump online and look for a recipe, how to fix a leaky faucet, order clothes, shoes or anything else in the world. Today everything is online and it is right at our fingertips. Furthermore, it is even easier to bookmark a page so that we can come back to it again if we need to check a few items or refresh our memory how something was done.

An organized kitchen utility crock.
Organized Kitchen Utility CrockUtility crocks are great, but sometimes when you want to pull something out of them, everything goes with it because they get tangled up. I just have a few things I constantly use and I want to be able to grab them quickly without pulling everything out of the crock at once, like my little different colored knives and shears that get used all the time.

A hair clip being used as a chip clip.
Use Broken Hair Clips as Chip ClipsI get so frustrated when my curly wild hair breaks my hair clips. They get stuck or snap closed too hard and their teeth break off. Instead of throwing the hair clip away, I reuse them as chip clips. An added benefit is the hair clips are usually super cute, so my snack bags look pretty fancy!
