Host: Mindy McCulley, MS Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Specialist for Instructional Support, University of Kentucky 

Guest: Jeanne Badgett, MS Extension Associate for Clothing, Textiles, and Household Equipment

Season 8, Episode 32

Join Talking FACS host Mindy McCulley and guest Jeanne Badgett from the University of Kentucky FCS Extension for a practical episode about organizing without breaking the bank.

Strategies include:

  • decluttering first
  • grouping like items
  • establishing zones
  • repurposing containers, and
  • suggestions for when to invest in uniform storage
  • Key takeaways: toss broken items, sort and label for visibility, try no-cost solutions first (repurpose boxes, jars, trays), enlist a friend instead of hiring help, and remember clutter has both financial and opportunity costs.

    Resources mentioned: Money Wise newsletter and your local Extension office for more tips and hands-on support.
