How Does an Organized Garage Save You Money?

Save Money by Using What You Have

You know that you have seeds, gardening trowels and small pots in your garage... somewhere. When you’re talking about relatively inexpensive items, it’s easy to give into the temptation to simply buy it again new. After all, it’s just a few cheap packets of seeds, right? You need to get your seeds started now in order to get them in the ground at the right time.

These little purchases add up, though. In the spring, it might be gardening supplies. Maybe in the summer, it will be the grilling utensils, and in the fall, the seasonal decorations. If you can’t find what you need and you find yourself replacing small items, it’s time to take control of your garage organization and save yourself some money in the process.

Save Money by Avoiding Damage

When you have boxes stacked precariously on top of one another, it’s easy to accidentally send something tumbling down. It can even happen when you’re not in the garage, such as when you’re asleep or not home at all. If any of these boxes are filled with breakables, you might be kissing several of them goodbye, only to replace them later with your hard-earned money.

Another type of damage occurs when you leave items where they can get damp and, subsequently, moldy. If you aren’t able to access all of your things to check on them once in a while, you might end up with moldy books and mildewy clothing. You guessed it: You’ll need to replace these items, and they might be expensive!

Save Money by Selling What You Don’t Need

This is actually a way to earn some money, but it’s nearly impossible if you don’t have a good organization system in place. Once the weather gets warm and pleasant, you can gather up all of your unused items and have a garage sale! Excellent organization is key: You don’t want to accidently sell one of Grandma’s old antiques, but you don’t want to forget about that big box of board games that your children have outgrown.
