$1 STORAGE HACK 

I have a very small closet and usually storage is a big struggle, especially storing my bulky sweaters in Spring and Summer as they take so much room and they will not be getting worn for few months. So I discovered this brilliant way to store them, so they are not taking space in my closet and they stay clean and fresh.
I bought Vacuum storage bags from Dollar tree for $1, yes these bags are available at different retailers and for the large bags they start from $5 and up., So I bought one bag from dollar tree to see how the quality is and how it compares to the more expensive options and I was pleasantly surprised that it works just as well as the other more expensive ones.
These bags are very useful for travelling too, as it compresses the clothes and saves so much room in the suitcase.
Here is the bag from Dollar tree

I stored 8 sweaters in one bag under my bed for 5 months and the bag remained sealed  the sweaters came out fresh and wrinkled a bit but after hanging them back the wrinkles were gone and no need to iron or steam.

Picture of the bag with sweaters :


 Sweaters out of the bag and  it shows how bulky it can get to store these.



hope this post was helpful and everyone can take advantage of these bags, the possibilities are endless of utilizing the bags from storing baby clothes , extra towels, spare bedding to formal wear.
