My fav storage trick now is to lay them down flat! Yes, flat and they can’t fall over!
Here they are nicely nestled in a large, square, old Tupperware container, minus their lids.
At the end of the day, the used drink bottle gets washed in soapy water or hot clean water, dried, then left on the bench the right way up to finish air drying. Lids & straws are also washed and left the same way. For storage, the lids & straws have their own container. This ensures that the bottles don’t go mouldy inside.
And inside the cupboard, they are in the back right corner, but still really easy to grab .. without knocking the others over!
Your drink bottle choice really comes down to personal preference. I love the Aldi bottles with the freezer stick for day trips with the family because of how cold they stay. But I’ve discovered a new favourite for the gym – the Camelbak Podium Chill Insulated.
It has a great watertight spout lock and no straw. The squeeze action delivers a rush of water when you are gasping for it. The insulation means you don’t get any condensation on the outside of the bottle.

So, there you have it – a nice low tech way of keeping your sanity in the plastics cupboard!
