As people continue through life each year, most accumulate more tangible items. Eventually, storing possessions can become problematic, especially in smaller living spaces. Storage bins can be one of the most beneficial and money-saving items to purchase in such situations. This article will explain how storage bins can be put to use for the purpose of saving money.

There are many instances where a storage bin can be used in place of another item of furniture. For example, when adult children leave to go to college, instead of purchasing a dresser and shoe rack for clothes and shoes, a few storage bins can be bought instead. Most quality dressers cost about $100 and a shoe rack is easily over $25. Buying a set of four storage bins for $50 instead will suffice, saving $75. Students can also buy small storage bins and use them in place of a bookshelf, which usually costs over $50. A small storage bin for books and paper can be found for about $10.

In the home, storage bins can be stacked and used for clothing, as mentioned in the last paragraph. They also serve a useful purpose in a room where a television or computer is. Most people spend at least $150 on a computer desk and $250 on an entertainment center for a TV, DVD player, various electronics and DVDs. A much more cost-effective solution is to purchase five thick wooden beams and create an entertainment center shell. Use one beam as the base. Three beams should be nailed to that piece, equally spaced apart. Nail the last beam on top. Inside the empty shell, several storage bins can be stacked and used in place of shelves. DVD players, DVDs and most other electronics are light-weight and will not break a storage bin. The total cost of this project is about $75. Storage bins can also be used with a plain-model computer desk instead of purchasing one with shelves. This usually saves more than $50. Smaller bins can be used in a pantry or kitchen instead of purchasing additional shelving units. They are perfect for storing light-weight food containers and keeping the kitchen organized.
