Organizing your closets is a great start. Go through and take out anything that you never wear. If you want to keep it for sentimental reasons or want to keep it for winter, then put it in a box and label what it is. Labeling is so important because without it you will have to look through tons of boxes just to find one thing. Anything that you don't want, give away. There isn't any reason to keep it if you don't need it and someone else can use it.

If you have lots of things in your bathroom, or supplies that are just all over, try making a container just for bathroom stuff. Keep extra shampoo in there, extra toothbrushes, toothpaste, cotton balls, q-tips, travel size items, or anything else you don't need out. When you need something, just go to that box and get it. If you have things all over the place, you will forget that you have it and will end up buying it again.

Organize your pantry. Often cans get pushed to the back and you forget about them. Forgetting about food can cost you tons of money, plus having an organized pantry will allow you to know what food you have. You don't want to be buying food when you already have it.

Going through your attic is important. You want to know what you have up there and if you can use it. If you haven't recently, spend time going through it and getting rid of anything that you don't need.

Not organizing your things can cost you a lot of money. Most people have the things they need in their home, but just forget they have them. Making sure that everything has a box and that the box is labeled will allow you to get what you need without spending money going to get something new. Keep things that are similar together. For example, keep all your camping things together, or all your holiday decorations together. You don't have to keep them out, but keep them in the same area. If there are a bunch of different boxes label them and write what number it is out of the bunch. For example Christmas lights 1 of 4. It will make things easier when looking for things.

You don't have to buy expensive containers to be organized. Just using cardboard boxes will save you money and you can just use the ones you moved with. They work just as good as any other container. When you move, keep the boxes that are the same size and use them for storage. You can even keep the boxes you moved with and just break them down in storage. If you don't have room for them, then don't worry about it.
