1. Bathroom basket

Do you ever worry about all the cables and electrical appliances that stay in your bathroom, where it’s usually moist? If you’re like me, this hack with an iron basket might be everything you need. It’s a good and practical storage item, and if you have a small space, it’s going to be very helpful as well.

If the space allows, you can hang it on the side of your sink for better reach; all you need for this hack is just a couple of hooks. This basket is usually found in most dollar stores for a small price!

2. Freezer storage

Keeping your fridge organized is usually a complicated task, but because we want to help you manage the situation like a PRO, we tell you this: next time you visit the closest dollar store, look out for some colorful plastic bins (medium-sized are better). They are super affordable and come in very handy!

Use these helpful dividers in your freezer to prevent goods from being forgotten and freezer-burned. To improve freezer organization, group frozen foods and leftovers into appropriate baskets based on kind and label each with laminated tags. These hacks will also help you know what foods are about to expire soon.

If none of the dollar stores are in your neighborhood, you can also order a set of fridge organizers from Amazon! This is definitely a bargain for a set of seven containers.

  1. … okay, so I found it but you could have given me a clue where to look for it like maybe ……………………………… >>>> Start here >>>. Or perhaps … “your 10 Dollar Tree hacks are listed from 1 – 10 below and number 6 is in red. Here ya go: (Hack # 1), (Hack # 2 ) … etc but those are just an idea. After reading over these hacks that I had to have, this is my review. These are kinda cute and maybe a bit helpful under certain circumstances but there were 2 that had me scratching my head. There was one where you suggested using storage baskets in the freezer and it left me curious to know just how big is your freezer? I am lucky to find room for my ice cream so I have no idea where I’d put extra baskets. You must have a walk in set up? The second thing that had me confused what trying to imagine what a “burner cover” was and how this item could become a stylish mirror in my home. Thanks.

    1. I bought a burner cover for my glass top stove, but you could easily make one. It’s a padded piece of material that you can roll up when you cook.
      I have a built-in microwave above my stove. I was terrified that I would drop a hot bowl from Mikey and shatter my stove top. Now I have peace of mind and no longer use my Microwave as a bread box.

    2. I have an upright freezer and I put the baskets/plastic boxes, that I get from the dollar store in my freezer and label them according to type so I know where the fruit or vegetables are etc. it works great.

  2. I’ve read other articles like this before that give you some cute and/or useful ideas from dollar store items but this is not one of them. The trash can nightstand stands out to me, “turn it upside down” and hurrah, you have a nightstand that will hold what, one book or a box of tissues. I think most people want something a little bigger than that to use as a nightstand.
