My Simple Thrifty Linen Closet

 


The linen closet serves two purposes.  It keeps my bed linens where I store my sheets, either my one set of flannel sheets or my one set of cotton sheets depending on the season, a couple blankets, my dining chair covers and the bin where I keep my electric blanket during the warmer months.  The guest bed has only one set of sheets which is adequate so I have nothing extra to store for that bed.  My linen supply is rather minimal and that frees up the remainder for my household essentials.

 


On the top shelf of the linen closet I am able to store a good supply of toilet paper, facial tissues and a small supply of paper towels.  I don’t use paper towels all that often so keeping just a few rolls lasts me a very long time.

 


The remaining two shelves store my cleaning supplies and extra toiletries.  I easily have about a two year supply of these items for two people.  I keep my cleaning and hygiene routines very simple and I’m very careful not to overuse any products and minimize potential waste so I don’t really need all that much to get the jobs done.

 


This current supply allows me to have plenty on hand and gives me the time I need to shop for replacements at the best possible prices.  I like to wait for the sales cycles.  By stocking for two people I am also able to donate products and help someone in need.  As I move into the future I will pull the older products first and then shop only to replace what I have used.  A pull and replace method allows me to stay well stocked and saves me a lot of time and money in the process.
