Purchasing Storage Bin Tips

As you are aware from my previous posts, I am a big believer in storage bins. I have plenty and I use everyone. I keep everything from winter boots and camping gear to my grandmother's fine china in some sort of storage bin. I find the bins to be light weight, sturdy and for the most part economical. In my opinion they make for great storage solutions.

At least I found them to economical until recently. Approximately two months ago I was approached by a friend you called me to task on my pronouncement of readily available cheap storage bins. She said she had been looking for the last few months and was unable to find any storage bin at the prices I had suggested and really couldn't even find anything that had been discounted by 30%. "Nonsense", I said. "I have purchased all of my storage bins at at least 40% off." I promised her that I would alert her the next time I stumbled across a sale on plastic storage bins.

Well, here I am 2 months later with nothing to show for it. It is true that I have purchased all of my storage bins at a large discount. However, I guess what is also true is that I buy these bins sporadically over the years when they are on sale. I wondered how I was so lucky. the answer soon became clear to me!

Every Friday, I get the Canadian Tire e-flyer in my in box. I have received this e-flyer since I bought my first house. As a result, I know exactly what is on sale at Canadian Tire every week. When I see something I need at a deep discount I go to the store. As a result I have purchased an enormous amount of items at Canadian Tire which have been heavily discounted.

I highly recommend getting this flyer. It's free and I estimate that it saves me hundreds of dollars each year. Go to the website and sign up. The website is Canadian Tire. You will be very happy that you did.

And to my friend: I am still looking for half price storage bins and I will let you know as soon as I find them.
