While I would love to hit up the specialty organization stores, my budget won’t really allow it. I found that you can find plenty of useable organizational items at your local dollar store, and save yourself a ton of money!
Today I am sharing where you can find the items at the dollar store, and how you can use them to get your home in order. Unless you are a person who has their home organized at all times, these tips are for you!
OFFICE SUPPLY AISLE
-Three-ring binders: Keep important papers organized and stored neatly on shelves.
-Desk organizers: Great for desk drawers, but also useful for bathroom drawer as well.
-File folders: Store receipts or coupons neatly.
FOOD STORAGE AISLE
-Mason jars: What can’t you store in a mason jar?
-Zipper bags: Look for bags ranging in size from small sandwich bags up to bag large enough to hold blankets or sweaters.
-Spice and sugar jars: Decant your sugars and spices to keep your baking cabinet tidy.
-Plastic containers: Lidded containers are useful all over the home!
-Ice cube trays: Store tiny items, like earrings or buttons, in the individual compartments.
-Plastic cups: Keep Christmas ornaments from breaking in storage by placing each one it its own cup.
HOUSEWARES DEPARTMENT
-Bins: Whether fabric or plastic, bins are a great way to separate and organize items in your closet.
-Baskets: Baskets are a more decorative option than bins, making them perfect for use out in the open.
-Hooks: Add small adhesive hooks to the inside of cabinet doors to use up that wasted storage space.
-Small trash cans: Use these small cans to keep your recyclables organized and sorted.

-Bungee cords: Prevent items in your storage unit from toppling over by securing them with bungees.
-Duct tape: If you can’t think of half a dozen ways to use duct tape off the top of your head, I can’t help you.
HOME DECOR
-Glass bowls: Add a decorative bowl to your bedside or entryway table to have a safe place to stash keys, jewelry and more.
