Well whoever that was, he was absolutely correct. I was wrong with the version I had picked out. I ended up returning all six of those long, oversized underbed bins and got these ones instead: Sterilite 32qt Clear View Storage Bin with Latch Purple.

They are perfect. The previous one was 48qt so they held exactly +50% more, but they are also too big and too heavy to maneuver when full. These ones are only $7.99 (precisely half the price) and are much more portable. They each hold about ~80 amaray cases comfortably.



This is a much better solution that what I was using previously. They stack well, are smaller and simpler to move, and it's easy to grab a couple additional ones from the store if you need more. Both the price and the portability.

I have now reclaimed my living room space and it looks so much better.

I like those, and haven't seen them before.

As for myself, I use these bins from The Container Store. Each holds roughly 36 standard blu-ray cases. They stack very well and they're also good for compact discs and paperbacks (regular or trade):

Those are the same ones I use. Got about 30 of them, pretty much filled at this point. Been needing a few more but they've been out of stock at most retailers.

Wouldn't mind the double wide Sterilite option, might pick up a few of those instead.

[Nothing371]

you didn't mention the important part: price?

The main thing that has kept me from doing this for years was not wanting to waste hundreds of dollars on bulky petroleum products I will want to throw away when I'm done using them. Especially if I wasn't sure which one to buy, which size I wanted, or whether I can buy additional matching ones in the future. Was shocked to learn I could pick up 15 of them them for $110 after discounts and tax, and basically store everything I want to put away. I went to the store, bought five of them, loved them, bought a couple more, kept sorting and alphabetizing stacks, and went back and bought several more yesterday. I still have a couple left over, to fill leisurely with TV on DVD and other boxed sets.

It's never about "buying a single bin". There's a massive gateway you have to choose to cross when getting started with this process.

Do you have a shelf for some movies, then put the rest in bins? If so, how do you decide what goes on a shelf versus what goes in bins?

I also recommend Amazon shipping box #160. It's a good size to hold two rows of Blu-ray, totalling around 66 cases per box. Best of all, they are free, but I don't always get this size of boxes. Keep an eye whenever you have packages from Amazon.

I only keep around 500 titles on shelves at home, and these are things that I know I will watch again at some point and will want at hand when the urge strikes.

The bins I have in my house are only titles I haven't opened yet. When I want to watch something, I basically reach into the currently open bin and take out a disc almost at random. It is a bit like a Netflix where it is only stuff I know I want to see at some point, since something motivated me to buy the disc in the past. I end up pleasantly surprised more often than not, especially since I try to find positive things in everything I watch. Failing that, I still try to take away something from the experience, if it is another lesson in how to not make a movie.

After watching, I accumulate the watched discs into another bin and, when full, off it goes to my storage unit where I have also stored a large number of books, records and CDs. I love my house but have far more than would fit in it, so the solution for me was outside storage. It's close, and I have the items in it fairly well organized, so it isn't that much more of an effort to access something I want to see, read or listen to, but isn't so important to me that I want it available at all times.

$16.99 each? Really??? Is it that one?

Yikes.

Twice the price for half the space. That's literally 4x+ more expensive.

Yep. To each their own, and whatever solutions work best for them. As for myself, I like how they are only a bit wider than a DVD case is high. That means more flexibility for some of my existing storage solutions. I just happen to have a space in a closet the exact width for these containers to be stored in five columns. On the shelves in my storage unit, these can be put two-high in three columns (with a few inches remaining to put a large book or maybe a vinyl boxed set). If they were twice as wide, I would have an odd amount of space remaining.

I use these underbed bins from Container Store. They also work really well for storing complete Sega Genesis games and Nintendo NES carts, lol.

[FlamedLiquid]

Made a book order:

Avengers omnibus 1
Avengers omnibus 2
Avengers omnibus 3

With 10% off veterans day off and b2g1 total was $143.08 with taxes.

Wanted to get the Invincible Ironman omnibus but for some reason it's not included in the sale.

These are like the ones I found at Walmart. Mine are 32 & 34qt each and work great. I also got lucky and found some Hefty underbed storage 63qt containers in late Jan. marked down to $8.50 at Target(assuming they were Christmas related with the red & green lids). Personally I prefer the ones like you have there to the longer, larger underbed containers. But for the price I couldn't pass them up as I really needed them.

I bought 2 toys and tried to use my $10 off toy coupon yesterday, but discount would not apply. I immediately went to Customer Service and returned both items. I should have checked to see which toys actually qualify for this coupon.

I think it was during this sale last year (B2G1) where Thor Love and Thunder 4K and Lightyear 4K were like $8.75 or some crazy price, plus B2G1 on top of it.

Tomorrow will be 1 year since Target surprised us with Doctor Strange MOM at $9.99

Would love to wake up tomorrow and see Wakanda Forever like that.

For some reason I can't get any products to populate on the Target site. Its been like this since last night, I do a search for something and nothing shows up but an advertisment on the page. Anyone else having this issue?

The Target website is working fine for me... I'm on a Windows PC using Chrome... Maybe try clearing your cookies? Or try Incognito/Private Mode to see if it works there...
