Stockpiling 101 - Space even if you are in an apartment

Closet tops are great storage places!
My girlfriend Katheryn says she doesn't have room to stockpile while living in an apartment with 2 kids and a husband ... My reply - SURE YOU CAN! And here is how:
  • Location 
    • Under beds & cribs (in locking totes for the latter)
    • Below sinks
    • Shelving above the washer & dryer
    • Under tables & desks
    • Storage cubes in tall bookshelves
    • Porch or balcony
    • Garage
    • In suitcases
    • Tall dressers
    • Over-the-Door hanging shoe organizers, great for small items like:
      •  hair ties
      • unopened razors
      • trial size items
      • fingernail polish
    • Small set of drawers for couch or bedside table
    • Peg board w/hooks, great for anything that hangs:
      • packages of batteries
      • razors
      • cough drops
      • pens
      • cotton swabs, etc.
    • Hang a chain from the ceiling and clip on bagged products (chips, dry soup mixes, crackers, dried fruit, nuts, cookies, etc).
    • Linen, coat, and bedroom closets
