Finding a place to store it all year is still difficult.

Instead of falling prey to that shiny card leave it at home and save yourself the temptation. Make sure you head to the store with a specific list of the items you need. Avoid Impulse Purchases.

Vanilla cupcakes I stored all my equipment in a dishpan in my dorm room. We had to sell it less than 3 years after buying it, and between that and the market timing (bought in 2009, sold in 2012), we were lucky to come out of the whole situation with our original mortgage paid off completely by the sale!
