4. Create a coffee station drawer using clear boxes to house all your coffee essentials, also great for tea and hot cocoa.
Love this idea from Unikely Martha! A coffee drawer is absolutely genius, especially because you can have it near your coffee maker.
Clear bins from the Dollar Store are great to organize all your coffee essentials. If you’re a Keurig fan, these clear containers from the Dollar Store are great to organize all your different types of K-Cups
Her coffee station is so cute, you should really take a look!
5. Plastic dollar store bins are perfect for organizing your fridge.

As an added bonus, she includes FREE downloadable labels. You can find her free labels and check out her perfectly organized fridge here.
6. Speaking of bins, you can also use them to organize your freezer!
Time With Thea neatly labeled all her freezer bins and also decorated them with washi tape!!
What a fun idea to jazz up plain plastic storage containers!

7. Organize all your spices with this nifty DIY Dollar Store magnetic spice rack made from a cookie sheet of all things
Also included with this project are free printable labels.

8. Use a dollar store pan organizer to organize all your pans and cookie sheets.
Restoration Beauty flipped some pan dividers on their sides (instead of using them vertically).
I love this idea because now the organizer is not as tall so you can use it in cabinets that don’t have much vertical room.
The slots in the organizer keeps everything so much more organized then just stacking all your pots and cookie sheets on top of each other.
9. Use containers to organize all your cleaning essentials underneath your sink and add a cheap tension rod to hold your cleaning products.
For most people under the kitchen sink can be such a trouble area. It can get unorganized fast, plus if you keep your garbage in there it can get dirty if you don’t keep up cleaning that space.
New Nostalgia organized under her kitchen sink with inexpensive containers from where else…
The dollar store of course!
Not only that she installed a dollar store tension rod under her kitchen sink towards the top of her cabinet where all her cleaning supplies hang on very neatly.
Using the tension rod really utilizes the vertical space under your kitchen sink because you then have room to store baskets underneath the cleaning supplies.

She even has the drawer in an easily accessible spot for her kids. If your kids are old enough, you can do this too so they can grab a cup for themselves.
14. Stack open storage containers to utilize every inch of storage space in your cabinets.
A Proverbs Wife used stackable dollar store storage bins to store snacks and small food items.

What I love about the storage containers she found at the dollar store is they are open, so you can see what’s inside them, plus it makes it easy to just grab whatever you need fast.
15. Use hooks to hang all your mixing spoons, measuring cups and flippers.
Tip from A Mellow Life Is a Good Life.

Using both dollar store and Target $1 bin items, the video below from Do It On A Dime will show you how to recreate this awesome dollar tree command center!
20. Store dry goods in glass canisters to keep everything nice and neat!

They ended up looking really expensive and I would have never thought she used dollar store containers.

21. If you want to keep all your dollar store clear containers organized, score some FREE downloadable labels so you can have everything nice & neat!

23. Don’t forget to organize your junk drawer too.
Everyone seems to have a messy junk drawer in their kitchen that houses a bunch of random stuff.
Go to the dollar store and grab some small clear containers and/or drawer organizers.
Also think about going through the drawer and only leaving things you really need that belong in the kitchen.
24. Always misplacing your measuring cups and spoons? Mount dollar store hooks inside your cabinets and hang them.
This little gem comes from Kristi of I Should Be Mopping The Floor.
She even gives you a cute printable measuring conversion chart that you can hang up in your cabinet as well.

25. Use a paper towel holder to store your cookie cutters.
Stack your cookie cutters on a paper towel holder. One paper towel holder can hold a pretty big stack of cookie cutters.
If you have a ton of cookie cutters, I would get a few paper towel holders and sort the cookie cutters by holiday/season.

Dollar Tree Kitchen Organization Tips
Organize your kitchen over a period of time, not in one day.
The kitchen has so many organizing layers to it. You need to organize the pantry, under the sink, dish shelves, etc.
It’s a big job, so don’t feel like you have to organize it all in one day. Pick an area of your kitchen to organize one day and the next day pick another section.
Enlist help if you live with others.
Hey, everyone uses the kitchen, right? Consider enlisting some of these people to help you organize or at the very least keep up on your organizing system.
Take 10 minutes a day to keep your kitchen organization system in place.
After you spend a ton of time organizing your kitchen, you don’t want your kitchen to get cluttered again. Take ten minutes a day to tidy up and organize.
Hope you enjoyed these

I use an over the door shoe organizer for all of my seasonings. I cook a lot, so I have a ton of them. Before, they were all shoved in a cabinet. Now I can actually see them. I also got another organizer to put cleaning products in. Haven’t gotten to that yet though.
Hi Felicia. Yeah, those shoe organizers are quite handy. Great idea to use one to store your cleaning supplies! 🙂
These are so helpful! I love the pots and pan organizing method!
Thanks Suzanne. Glad you found them helpful!
