I should have never gone in there.

The Container Store opened here. 

I spent 2 hours alone there this morning.

[alzi]

Ohhhh I want to go there.

Man, they are super expensive! I'm not a cheapskate by any means but I walked right out of that store after 10 minutes.

[nomad100]

I am jealous. I used to go to the one on North Ave in Chicago all the time.

Of course, since I had no money, I rarely bought anything but all the organization soothed my soul.

[pierogigirl]

Jealous. I want an Ikea, Crate and Barrel, and a Container Store to come to my town. Whole Foods and a Nordstrom would be nice, too. I apparently live in a shopping black hole.

I am so jealous. There are none around here.

I love this store so much, I went to the opening party of the one that opened by me last year and it was AMAZING I mean the food alone was awesome.

Anyway back to the store, the next day I went in to shop and came home and DH was like WTF is all this...to which I had an explanation for why I purchased every single item.

The reusable sandwich bags are the bomb I pack them for my kids daily and you can throw them in the washing machine...love

Most things are between $5.99 - $24.99, which seems reasonable until you realize you want many of these items, so it all adds up quickly. I had to be super careful to not go overboard, which I saw a lot of people just not giving a fuck. They were making a killing in there.

I saw those lunch bags - so cute!

You seriously walk in there and spot something and then you wonder how you ever lived without it (even if you don't know what its for) LOL

[eb777888]

Oh, I think I just wanted everything, lol.
I went in there in 2007 when we bought our house and needed a ton of organizing things. I definitely need to go in there with the intent of browsing and not the intent of reorganizing my entire closet, lol.

[emsumm]

I want to buy everything. I can't go in. PLUS, ours is next to Nordstrom Rack, Off 5th, and Trader Joe's. It's like a danger zone.

[rex]

I can't go in there because I want to buy it all and spend days organizing.

[walterismydog]

I think I'm the only person on earth who hates The Container Store. Which is weird, because I love containers.

[muffin0]

Not to be creeper but are you in the Tampa area? (but now that I think about it I think another opened in FL recently too)

I'm so jealous of you.

Not only because you went to the container store but also because you had TWO HOURS to wander around.

[goaskalice]

I have a very part time job at the store near me to offset my obsession. The 40% discount really helps!
