Peter Walsh was in a barbershop Quartet® in Skokie, Illinois
About eight miles west of Skokie, anyway.
Uncluttering guru Peter Walsh invited us to cover the kickoff of his nine city “The Organized Home” tour yesterday at the Niles Wal*Mart, where he taught customers the basics of uncluttering, and introduced a new line of Quartet® organizational tools.
As host of TLC’s Clean Sweep and author of the New York Times Bestseller It’s All Too Much, Walsh uses his wit and no-nonsense style to help people discover and eliminate the sources of their own clutter, which typically include what he calls “memory clutter” and “I might need it one day clutter.”
In addition to addressing the reasons for clutter, Peter offers some creative organizational products developed by Quartet®. The magnetic white boards are a home office favorite, allowing you to utilize a single point of capture for scribbled notes, post-its, and other random items, as well as that collection of souvenir magnets Walsh would no doubt scold you for allowing to stick around.
The new products are only available at Wal*Mart brick-n-mortars for now, but they’re quite nice, very useful, and worth the trip. And if you’re nearby any of the following locations, stop in and say “hi” to Peter for us.

I’m with the prior commenter – I would never buy anything at Wal-Mart. I’m so disappointed that Peter is collaborating with them.

The Waltons are the
Rockerfellas of the day. They’ll make a buck off the backs of anyone.

The NJ location is not actually in East NJ but in Princeton/Lawrenceville.

“You can get that widget at Wal*Mart.”
“Thanks, but I’d like to leave the store with my widget AND my soul.”

The reason Walsh has to sell organizing products at WalMart is because all those loyal customers have filled their homes to the brim with junk from Walmart. It’s just another marketing ploy to get folks to consume endlessly.

What’s wrong with Wal-mart?
