this woman is brilliant! i ssy that with a 😁 because j thought i invented the decorative pillows as storage in my van. soooo much added storage hidden in a touch of glam ☺️.

I don’t understand why anyone would give this video a thumbs down!

Great ideas - I especially like the idea with rolling up the puzzle - we do puzzles all the time. Also like cutting up trash to reduce space - I’m using that next time.

I love all your ideas! Now why didn't I ever think of cutting up the trash?!? I know some people use a 5 gallon bucket with gamma lid for "smelly" things when they don't have access to a dumpster for a few days. I was going to try that in a 2 gallon size, but even that will take up too much space I feel in my little Kia Soul. I planned on getting a couple cute pillow covers for a jacket & blanket perhaps. Love your "blanket pillow"! I have microfiber towels on my list. I love the packaged quinoa, etc. idea. I have to say I absolutely love the laundry strips most of all. I didn't even know such a thing existed!! Thank you so very much for sharing all your great finds. Love your videos.

What I do is fill up the square plastic container with the other garbage until the container is full, then put the plastic container into the plastic bag. That way there's no need to cut the hard plastic container and the paper trash can just be wadded and stuffed into the container. So you have nothing left but the plastic container to go into the bag.

Oh the trash bag hack is good! I use the pillow and towel ones too. I have gotten some not so useful laundry detergent strips like that. Do you stick yours in the machine with the clothes? I’d assume they’d gloop up in the machine where the liquid usually goes But also I tend to get groceries in a parking lot, bring the cart back and pre cut/ peel carrots and other veg so I can throw those food scraps out right away if I have the time. I use some oxo storage containers for food like rice, dry beans, etc and so after a grocery trip I’ll take the crackers, beans, nuts, etc and put them into my containers so I can throw the big containers that came with the food away in the parking lot. If there’s too much for a container, I have reusable stasher bags I put the remaining food into. For such a tiny van as the transit connect I find this works best for me.
