Welcome to the 30-Day Organize-athon!
In today’s 5 minutes we’re going to express-organize your storage containers.
Let’s get to it.
Day 18: Organize Your Tupperware and Storage Containers
Step 1: Empty out your stash of Tupperware and containers onto the floor
Step 2: Add any stray items that belong here but have migrated to other random household destinations.
Step 3: Quickly select the items that:
- You use regularly; and
- Have lids (if needed); and
- Are in good condition.
Step 4: Store these neatly in the cupboard or drawer. Put smaller items into larger ones to save space, and put each little pile on top of its own collection of lids (that way your lids are always close to their respective containers ).
Step 5: Throw out everything else – anything gross, ancient, or surplus to your needs. You can put it aside for donation only if it’s really good.
And you’re done!
Got an Extra 5 Minutes?
Let’s simplify your kids’ lunchboxes and drink bottles.
- Discard anything they’ve outgrown.
- Discard anything that’s stained or smells funky.
- Discard anything that’s surplus to your needs – if you only need one set per child, let the rest go.
- Make a note to buy anything that you’re missing.
Now don’t buy more if you don’t need it!

Done – amazing how all those little container lose their lids…..:)
Done.
Whew. This really needed to be done. I usually have the lids under the bowls, but some things had been tossed in and needed attention. I have too much tupperware. I can tell some of it is so old, but still in good usable condition. My sister-in-law used to be a tupperware dealer, and I purchased a lot of their products. I think I share with some of my friends.
DH just did this 2 weeks ago. Quick straighten and back in shape!
Finished!
DONE I can actually see what I have when I need it. Thank you Thank you.
So lovin’ these five minute exercises even when they get my attention for an hour or two.
Feeling so unburdened and in control of my space. I’ll soon be ready to start a new project–putting together a book of remembrance for my recently departed sweetheart of 25 years; r.i.p. my love.
I’m always on top of this one ….DONE !

Done — I didn’t have any to throw out, but it was good to realign each piece with its lid!! I had one piece that belongs to a friend and I’ve just now called her to arrange a meeting where I can give it back to her (and have a nice visit at a coffee shop, so this is a great bonus!)
Nothing to throw out, but they sure needed to be organized! Done!

Good one for today, thanks. Done.
Did this last month so it was really easy this time.
Ahh I have to reorganize our tupperware cupboard at least once a month and it is always in a complete disarray the next time I’m in there! It definitely needed it again today! Done! 🙂
Done! I do this on a regular basis so it was very easy.
I did this awhile ago and the cabinet was still neat and tidy!
All done! 🙂
I am a Tupperware consultant and if you have anything that says Tupperware and it needs replacing it may be covered under the lifetime warranty. Email me or check my site to contact me. Remember to recycle based on the codes on the bottom of the containers. Happy organizing! Even I needed a quick once over of my Tupperware! 🙂 Thank you.
