Rubbermaid Tubs Work for Me!


When we moved from California we had limited space to bring things with us. We had our Jeep Cherokee and a small trailer. So we had to find the best way to bring things with us without leaving the important things behind. Lucky for me, Hubs is very good at packing things so that you can fit the most in a small space. In order to maximize our space usage we bought a bunch of 18gal Rubbermaid tubs (they sit together much better than some of the other brands) to put our things in. We were able to stack about 20 tubs on our small trailer. What didn't fit in the tubs was put in the Jeep. We had another car at the time as well so we could fit everything that was necessary in the Jeep without worrying about sitting room. The best thing is that the tubs were waterproof. It came in handy since we hit really bad rain in Texas! You can bet that when we are headed back to California we will be using the same method. We have a few more things to drag with us this time but we also have a lot more room to put things. So that's what Works for Me!

  1. We only moved 5 minutes away from our old house, but this worked for us as well. We put everything that would be stored in the basement into Rubbermaid totes. Now, our basement is fairly organized and I don't have to worry about bugs getting into boxes.

  2. I love those totes. It makes it so much easier to store things. We did the same with our tubs, we have them out in the shed with the things that dont belong in the house. :) Thanks for reading!

  3. I love totes. I store all sorts of things in them. Garage sale stuff, clothes, holiday decorations the list goes on and on!

  4. I've had baby stuff in a couple of mine for quite a while now. I finally got rid of the stuff in one of them. I have a friend who's having a baby.
