Barrel for food, which more often than not I just throw away anyhow. Books go in the chest above the bookcase over at Breezehome in Whiterun. Misc goes into the storage on the left just as you enter that home.

Pickpocketing got me loaded, and at some point you get deep pockets which increases your carrying capacity by 100, which is far better than wasting my points on Stamina upping capacity by a measly 5 at a time. What do you guys buy anyway? I have about 30,000 last I checked and only really spend money on leveling my alchemy or when a horse dies.
lol, i use the Archmage quarters as my main house as well ! I also store some stuff on markhan and riften for when i go east or west.

I used a lot of gold to level Blacksmith and buying / decorating houses. Now is usually for alchemy or for collecting "peerless" neck and ring trinkets

what Bob said works. I did mine going sneaking (using the muffle spell - helps a lot) at night in Winterun, leveling sneaking, illusion (muffle) and lockpicking at the same time (use lockpicking potions to get inside the houses, pickpocket sleeping folks). got them all to above 60 in no time
