First, shoe organizers are good for more than just storing shoes. You can set one up in a crowded pantry to organize small packaged food, or use it in the bathroom to store and organize all your toiletries.
And speaking of bathrooms, did you know you could use low-cost shower curtain rings in other rooms of your house? Just loop a few of the rings on a clothes hanger and use it to hang everyday accessories like scarves, belts and even ties.
Another great multi-purpose item you can find at the dollar store is ice cube trays. One-dollar ice cube trays are great for organizing small office supplies, jewelry, and even screws and nails. Weekly pill dispensers also work well for this sort of thing.
Lastly, mesh laundry bags are not only super cheap, they can also be perfect for storing kids toys, especially the kind that might get damp and used outside a lot.
Staying organized doesn't mean spending big bucks. Give these dollar-store deals a try, and you can stay clutter-free without breaking the bank.
