10. Trashcan nightstand
If you want to buy a nightstand that will freshen up the environment in your bedroom, but you don’t want to spend a fortune on it, then this amazing hack is for you! I personally love the idea of having at least one piece of colored furniture in my room, especially if the walls are neutral or plain white.
While wondering at the nearest dollar store, a cute and colorful trashcan popped up, and instantly a brilliant idea came to my mind: what if I turned it into a trendy nightstand for my bedroom? I bought it, of course (no regrets because it was $1.5), and all I had to do was turn it upside down and put it near my bed.
If you don’t find a colorful one, you can always paint it over with a spray. I can guarantee the final results will be jaw-dropping!

… 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.
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.
Your right on Kenneth! It would be helpful to show examples for all!
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.
Where did you find them?
The plastic bins for the freezer are meant for a full size freezer, not a refridgearator with a freezer. I’ve been using the for 30 years to seperate my different meats, beef, pork, chicken, seafood. It really does help. You can buy burner covers at aly walmart, dollar store, etc. They are round or square and meant to go over your stove burners so it looks nice. All the ads and lack of pictures hurt trying to follow this.
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.
Buy a 10-12″ of glass circle on trash can.

To the freezer hack, I once had an older top door freezer, the shelf was missing so I bought 2 school locker shelves from the dollar store and used tie wraps to tie them together and they fit perfectly inside the freezer – instant shelving for just 2 dollars! That was all I needed!
Nice hacks. Thanks. I use dollar store “dish pans” in all my cupboards. I have a tiny kitchen with few cupboards above or below. These little white, squarish, dishpans can be pulled out like a bin from each cupboard and level….so I don’t have to “dig” to find what I need: cookware, the toaster & large oven mitts; dishwash rags and dishwasher tablets; hot sauces and vinegars; plastic bags & foil…..I also use them in my refrigerator or freezer when needed to sort things (but the plastic doesn’t last very long in cold conditions), Also, as an art teacher, I use these same dish pans to file class sets of instructions or lesson samples/xerox pictures for particular lessons….or to organize materials for a substitute teacher lesson plan/w/materials….I bought a ton of these when they were still only 99cents at the 99cent store…Don’t know what they cost now 🙂 A dollar isn’t a dollar now.
Need some kind of pictures for these finds, not everything is done in ones imagination.
Need pictures for sure so we know what to buy, patty p. Colorado
