Manuals

Here is a great way to organize the manuals that go with all of your household appliances.

1. Sort through your manuals and group them (electronics, yard equipment, kitchen appliances, children's toys, infant gear, etc.) - be sure to toss out the manuals for appliances you no longer have or manuals that you don't need

2. Put each group into a gallon size plastic bag (it doesn't have to be able to seal)

3. Use a permanent marker and label the outside of the bag according to the group that is in each

4. Place all bags in a larger container and find a place to store (ours is stored in the garage)

I typically keep all of the manuals for the products we buy. I am the world's worst about reading the instructions when I get a new product(I like the read the "quick start" guide.), but I do keep them around in case I need to reference them at some point. I keep them in the garage because rarely do I need to access these items.
