I recently shopped at AtHome for clear lidded containers. They had a large selection of OXO brand, but man, to me, they were expensive. So while I was looking suddenly my eyes caught on a boxed set that had maybe 6 different lidded containers that were priced about the same for 1 OXO. needless to say I bought the boxed set, and love them. Knowing that I didn’t unwillingly stretch my budget, I’m very happy.

I have a couple of the Target acrylic Lazy Susans, both of which broke in a couple places. Using clear packing tape, I reenforced their cracked edges. Since both are in cupboards, I don’t worry about the way they look. They contain olive oil bottles and other oil sprays and ingredients. I would not give them as gifts, but they are functioning.
I agree Target is better for most, there are certain things I buy at The Container Store. Another great comparison would be Homegoods, I know it varies a lot by location but I find a lot of affordable acrylic organizers there. Happy Organizing!
We need a Walmart version with the home edit and I know I saw some bins that were at the container store at Walmart with frosted plastic vertical bins of doffing widths
I would definitely buy things like those from Target. The Container Store is a lot further away too. However, the Container Store was a lifesaver when my builder grade closet shelf collapsed and I redesigned my closet with their Elfa shelves.
You are so right. It really depends on what you are buying and proximity matters too. I've only used Elfa for a closet once but also had a great experience. Thanks so much for watching!!
Keep in mind the height of the bins and containers. If you’re looking at using these products on an interior shelf, you may be restricted by the height of your space.
I get a lot of my storage items from thrift stores, yard sales garage sales etc. It is a lot cheaper for me. I also do slot of recycling items and making my own containers. You showed several nice things but I would never spend that much money. Thanks for sharing
❤ ha ha. Never thought to compare the container store would target before. You are so creative! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. We do prefer shopping at target more than the container store; and that is purely because of distance. But we do enjoy visiting the container store, because it is so customized towards better organization. Thank you for sharing and have a great day!
Call me old school, but we do not shop at Target. I have shopped at TCS but only when they have their sale. You can find bargains for the same items at lots of other stores, Hobby Lobby, Tuesday Morning, etc. Quality, function and price is important to me in this time of inflation. I would like to see how your shopping at Amazon "stacks up" to the other stores. Especially if you are not using Prime. Thanks for a great video.
@@bonnie.duncan "old school" means to be "old fashion", but also in this case, I don't shop at Target because I know their "history". I been around a long time and I don't forget the past. It has been at least a decade since I went into a Target store.
Hello! Great video. I mostly agree with you but the TCS’s turntable was way better quality than Target’s. I feel it was really like comparing apples and oranges.
A few months ago, I found *2 packs* of the narrow market pantry bins on clearance for $7.49, and the larger square ones were also $7.49 at Aldi. I almost peed myself right there in the Aldi Finds aisle.
I'd personally stick with the container store for the quality and just buy the bare minimum after I plan my space but price per use/longevity is my big factor. It's a bummer when you spend a decent chunk of change on stuff that keeps breaking. Also only buying things I can truly wash and dust because some of those natural type baskets fall apart. Then you gotta worry about animals and kids in the shavings and whatnot plus funky dust in the weaving. However, the wood bins and boxes can be painted and redone if they're not really cheaply made. I do think the container store one has a smoother grain and thickness. My two cents.
I loved this video, thank you for doing my homework! Side note... As an Interior Designer of 22 years, I don't know where the word "functionality" came from. I was always taught "form and function". It's just so interesting to keep hearing "functionality". Do you prefer it? I look forward to more of your videos! Happy New Year! 🎉
This video was very helpful. I tend to always recommend TCS but now I think Target is going to be added to the suggested product list for clients. Thanks for doing the work, spending the money, and the research/eval!
Interesting video. First time I’ve seen a video of yours. I liked the comparison. I honestly didn’t agree with your decisions on a lot of the items, but that’s ok we all have our priorities. I usually end up shopping at Amazon.
I love the idea for this video! I would request that your volume please come through at a higher level. I had to turn my volume all the way up and the sound echoes a lot.
Tried to put the Amazon ones in my cart, from your link. Wasn’t possible, to get the sale price, and put it in from your link. I don’t know if you get a bonus from Amazon. I hate to have you miss out on that, by putting it in the cart a different way. I wanted to let you know what was happening. I was just planning on a container store trip, when I went to visit my daughter. Thanks for the video. I have a new pantry. And a new craft room😊😊.
Such a great video and very helpful information. Really appreciated the full “review” of each item. Personally, I’m team neither. I used to have loyalty to Container Store but other stores have come a LONG way so I shop anywhere and everywhere until I find what fits my needs for whatever space trying to organize. Curious, where would you recommend getting storage boxes for things like office supplies and/or memories? Know Container Store has all sorts colored paper boxes and for actually less than Amazon, but wondering if you’ve used them or if there are others types better for longevity?
Quality does matter when you are looking at overall savings. Otherwise, you can look at having to re-buy those lesser quality items when they give out. I'm for quality over cheapness every time within reasonable cost points. So, I don't think target won.
I totally agree - quality is so important. And the consistency of the quality is essential if you’re putting these products in homes like I am as a pro organizer. I know that’s why many people feel it’s worth it to shop TCS.
Team container store!!! I love target, but the quality of the container store is unmatched. Also, if you are an employee of the container store you get a 40% discount!!! Say what?!?
That math doesn’t add up. If you go from the angle of “Target is X% less that Container Store”, your math is close - 32.64%. ($250.90 - $169) divided by $250.90. BUT if you go from the angle of “Container Store is Y% MORE expensive than Target”, the number us 48.46%. ($250.90 - $169) divided by $169. And when figuring out which is a better dollar-value proposition, I believe you have to go from the second angle, rather than the first.
Target copied the design of the Yamazaki white wire basket, then makes them less sustainably, and less expensively. It’s a real shame. Also, the wooden handles from the target bins fall off really quickly. By all means, the price point is better, but don’t copy other companies’ designs, come up with you own and then sell that for $12.
Containers are expensive and if decluttering isn't done first then we are just wasting money on organizing products for junk. I think if you decultter, then organize, then buy when you need - its worth the investment.
Thanks for checking in! I had to take a step back and reorient. I'm starting to share shorts, and have a subscription group over on Instagram to help busy moms reduce their mental load in 5 easy steps. Would love to meet you over there!

I hate that those broke on you! That would be my concern as an organizer putting products in people’s houses. Thank you for watching!
I've always been happy with my Target organizing items. I get things at the Container store when it's an item that I can only find there.
The nearest container store to me is about 2hrs away. I was debating a road trip-but now I can stay in town and go to Target.
I agree Target is better for most, there are certain things I buy at The Container Store. Another great comparison would be Homegoods, I know it varies a lot by location but I find a lot of affordable acrylic organizers there. Happy Organizing!

Team Target tops it!! Surprised about The Container Store how expensive it is...
Gosh, I was too! Definitely changed my perspective

Keep in mind the height of the bins and containers. If you’re looking at using these products on an interior shelf, you may be restricted by the height of your space.
This was an interesting comparison video. I like both places and it makes sense to me that it really just depends on each individual item.
Thanks for watching!!!

I love containers and bins. I have so many from different stores. I buy whatever is the prettiest and cheapest.
I have a mix in my house too! Thank you for watching ❤️

You can get the Hyacinth large basket at Ocean State Job Lot for $10.
Thank you! Good to know for followers in the northern USA. We don’t have that company here in the south.
I love your style and yes… I would go where the sale is lol. Ouch about the sale price.
Thanks Averil!
Awesome work!!
Thanks Ham!

Thank you for watching! For office supplies and memories, I do like the TCS our shoe boxes. The sizes and price point are great.
I'm a new subscriber and I'm loving your channel!
Hi Beth! Gosh that means so much to me. Thank you for following. Let me know if there is anything in particular you’d like to see!
You can use a lot of boxes and recycle them .Safe a lot of money for retirement.

The Target stuff doesn’t always hold up as well. And a lot of the Target and Container Store items are available on Amazon and at Home Goods.
Sounds like another video in the making! Thanks for watching ❤️
I like target brands too
me too!
I just love you!! Killing it
Thanks friend ❤️❤️❤️
but often at the container store I can get 20-30% off - yah know?
I love Target but for most organization bins Amazon quality and price have been better. Also better variety. Baskets-Target.
I’m glad you said that! I’m going to do a video on Amazon products soon. Thanks for watching!!
👍
Thanks for watching, Debbie!
The ELFA products is my container go to
I’ve only used those for one project and was also pleased with them. Thanks for watching!

I am Team Target as there isn’t a Container Store anywhere near me!
I’d be the same way. I like to be able to go into t the store to pick out what I want. Thanks for watching!
You're lucky there's none. They're EXTREMELY OVERpriced!
Where did you get that lamp?
At Home! It’s a wood base and star shape (if that helps) and the shade is sold separately.
Team TCS
Can’t go wrong there!

My broke ass goes to dollar tree. And I don't mind my rainbow colors . They work for my crafts. Cokes.can soups. Etc.
Nice video . when I can get the nice r things I will one piece a year.
I love that! I shop their for all my birthday and party stuff. Next time I need to look at their bins!
😂 I like Walmart sterilite plastic for the most part. It's a middle ground.
