Using Kaboodle? Let’s clean that up, too.
Kaboodle is a great tool for organizing shopping lists, connecting with other shoppers with similar interests, and comparing prices/watching for sales. It makes finding items easy to do away from home (like when I’m visiting mom) and cuts back on impulse buying when you can consider your budget and prioritize your shopping dollars. It’s a great tool but only if you actually use it.
It occurred to me today that I hadn’t even looked at my Kaboodle page in weeks…maybe months. It would be an awesome way to get my shopping organized for National Scrapbooking Day though so I logged in and found the mess of links I had accumulated over the last few months. Some designers had changed stores, some kits I bought and haven’t removed yet, and I had non-digiscrapping items all mixed in. So how did I get my Kaboodle working for me?
- The first thing I did was delete items I no longer wanted or already owned.
- Then I created additional lists to organize the other items.
- Finally, I clicked on the items I do still want to buy and found some of the links broken. I was able to quickly locate one item at a newly reorganized store and reset that link.
Now my wish lists are organized and I’ve set priorities on some items I truly need. I may not have my family up to speed on sharing wish lists via Kaboodle yet but at least I can be organized when it comes time to shop for myself. Compared to my mess of bookmarks, Kaboodle is a much better way to shop!
