KatPem Posted February 27, 2013 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hi, so after reading many, many threads and 6 of us traveling in two rooms, I have decided a plastic organizer is a must have.....but.....I can't find one anywhere that isn't like $15, which is more than I want to spend. So, if you have one, where did you get it...or have you seen one somewhere lately? I have checked the Dollar Tree with no luck. Thanks in advance!

merknerk Posted February 27, 2013 #3 Share Posted February 27, 2013 ies:)I just bought a nice one for around $6.00 or $7.00 at Walmart and it is a nice one. Clear pockets so you can see what is in them.They are in the department that carries irons, closet organizers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JennM Posted February 27, 2013 #13 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just found one at Dollar Tree. Have seen that different stores have varying inventory. Maybe try another store? I've checked for months and really wasn't willing to pay more than $5 based on the fact that I will only use it once. Good luck and shopping!

cruzinlisa Posted February 27, 2013 #14 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Target. I have found them in the dollar section, toward the front, atleast for the ones that are the size of a business envelope. Several compartments, but you have to fold things. Still a good fit.

Almost Packed Posted February 27, 2013 #15 Share Posted February 27, 2013 love mine and purchased one at a resale shop for $2 lol :D i also bought my first one at wal mart...for about $6.

jugalava Posted February 27, 2013 #16 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Was just at WalMart earlier tonight. Saw a 24-pocket canvas over the door shoe organizer for $8.97. It has clear pockets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ready2cruzagain Posted February 27, 2013 #17 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Walmart. Noticed you are going on the Liberty so it will work on the bathroom door. Just wanted to state that it will not work on the bathroom door on the Breeze. They designed the doors different and could not use mine on last cruise.

Just wanted to state that it will not work on the bathroom door on the Breeze. They designed the doors different and could not use mine on last cruise. The doors, walls are metal, right? Use a magnet (make sure the magnet/magnets can handle the weight)to hang it anywhere you want. I only use mine for makeup, Qtips, bandaids, stuff like that. You may also be able to use an S hook to hang it from the ceiling, light fixture, or vent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may also be able to use an S hook to hang it from the ceiling, light fixture, or vent. Tried the S hook, also the hanger that came with it...neither would work. I use mine for everything...shave cream, mosquito repellent, medicine, etc. Lots of heavier stuff so would have to be a really big magnet. Also not sure if the magnet would work. The way the bathroom door is the hinges are different and was a strange setup. The rest of the doors are wood...even the entry door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WetToes Posted February 27, 2013 #20 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I tried! ;) Would it hang in the closet, ... if you have room? How about the towel rack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bplazo Posted February 27, 2013 #21 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I always see them when I do not need it and now that I do I have not come across them. Off to Walmart today and will look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP seems to be talking about the over the door thingie or shoe storage bag that has a lot of pockets and hangs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1cat4jan Posted February 27, 2013 #23 Share Posted February 27, 2013 This may not be the time to look for the cheapest product available. Once you put weight into plastic pockets, they need to be strong enough to hold up. Make sure you take a good look at the quality before you purchase.

Warm Breezes Posted February 27, 2013 #24 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Walmart. We use ours for all travel that we do. DH just remodeled our bedroom/bath/closet and hung towel bar higher up in my walk-in closet that I could hang it on when we are not traveling to replenish. When traveling we fold it up fully loaded and it fits perfectly in our rolling back-pack. When we get to our destination we just unfold and hang it up....everything is in its place and ready to use. When it is time to go home we just fold it back up, fully loaded, and put it back in our rolling back pack. Things we keep in ours include (mostly travel size): first aid kit, OTC medications, Suntan lotion, aloe, bug spray, air freshener (B&BW), lysol, hand sanitizer, flash light, batteries, toiletries, downy wrinkle releaser, hole punch, lanyards, highliters, post-it notes, nightlight with 3 plugs, contacts/solutions/spare glasses, make-up, hair supplies, playing cards, etc. It works perfect for the 4 of us (DH and myself, DD(16) and DS (18)). If we fly, we pull the liquids out to go into our checked luggage. If it is just DH & myself traveling, then I will grab a small travel cosmetic bag and just pull out the the things the 2 of us need....It's all right there so it is easy to find. If we have 2 rooms, DD will come in after we get set up and pull out the stuff they need in their room and return it before we leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased the cheap ones (2x in the last 10 years) and it has never ripped on us and believe me when I say we use it all the time and it is even hanging full when not in use in my closet. We only replaced it recently because it was starting to get nasty looking from all the use we have given it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
