Stacking Tips
Combine multiple discount types in a single transaction. These are the most effective stacking combinations at The Container Store.
Elfa Sale + Organized Insider Code + Cashback Portal
Elfa sales are The Container Store's best deal event. Combining one with an Organized Insider member code and a cashback portal can yield 30–40% effective savings on a custom closet system — potentially saving hundreds of dollars.
New Year Sale + Email Coupon + Cashback Portal
The January sale is one of the largest of the year with sitewide discounts and often a concurrent Elfa sale. Email subscribers typically receive additional coupon codes that stack on sale prices.
Clearance + Email Code
For non-Elfa everyday storage purchases, stacking a clearance discount with an email code is the most consistent way to maximize savings on basics like bins, boxes, and drawer organizers.
