I have good news on the Sterlite bin front. Jenn, who works at Wal Mart, emailed me and said that in her area of the world (Utah) the bins are in stock and are “replenishable” which means not discontinued. Yippee-hooray! It is a happy day!
Go forth and organize calmly and rationally…without following my lead on the bin over-indulgence. It was a moment of pure craziness…but I’m sure I’ll put them to good use in a client’s home very, very soon. So no worries. I’m not buried in bins for long.
And yes, I’m seriously happy about this news…I’d even do a cartwheel if I still could. (But believe you me (as my dear Mom would say) not a soul would be present for that sight. Whew. That’s a guarantee.)
Thank you, Jenn! You’ve made my day, week and possibly month! I seriously love you people who hang out here on this blog with me. All your reports of where you’ve seen the bins…you guys are great! Thank you! 🙂
OK…so what organizing rumor should I spread next…? Just kidding. I was seriously convinced they were gone forever. 🙂
How funny you should post this Aby! I went to Walmart late last night for emergency baby wipes, how could I run out of those (?), and I did a quick trip through the bin aisle. I too found the bins you like and I was planning on emailing you today. So I think you’re definitely safe. I love them too, they are a great product. Love your blog, book, and your ideas!
Yeah! I’m very glad they’re still around for you!! 🙂
Can you show a pic of what the bins look like.
Thank you
Huggs to you all
Thank you

Thanks!

Hi was catching up with your blog and had to comment. I also use those bins and I find mine at the local Dollar General store. I don’t think DG carries the biggest ones like Walmart but they have several sizes.
Aby,
Amazon.com is also carrying the bins in all sizes, including the laundry baskets. I don’t know how the prices compare to Wal-Mart tho’.

Walmart’s in VA have blue and pink ones that I found recently, if you are interested. 🙂
Well of course you’ll find those types of bins in mormon land. They love that kind of stuff over there, lol.
