The Container Store – San Diego, CA

Wow, The Container Store is as much fun to visit as IKEA. Boots was seeking a simple, read cheap or inexpensive, shelving solution to turn our bedroom TV cabinet into an auxiliary pantry space. So, Boots thought maybe The Container Store would have some ideas, if not outright fixes. This store has paper, cardboard, various thickness/sturdiness of plastics, wood, metal, etc. etc. etc. (if there are any other possible materials from which to create a “container”, they probably have that too).

Had this store been available in Anchorage long before we sold everything and moved into our RV, we would not have been able to retire: 1) because we would still be getting rid of “containers” and 2) we wouldn’t have the funds to retire. There are little (child–size) scoops for your candy bowl (which comes in stackable small to large sizes in glass, clear plexi-glass, carved wood, etc. etc. etc.). Really you can’t go 2 feet into this store without seeing something “cute” or having “what if” ideas of how to use an item.

We went up and down the aisles to ensure that we had seen each and every possible option for containers. Oh, I mean a shelving solution for our “new” pantry space. We did end up with only 1 purchase that indeed meet our pantry space needs and one of those little scoops.
