Magazine file holder in the kitchen
If you purchase some metal file holders from the dollar store to “shelter” all your onions, garlic, and potatoes, you will realize how easy it was to keep everything neat and organized! These holders are ideal because they allow air circulation. In fact, the Dollar Tree carries them as a regular item so you won’t have a hard time finding them. The might also work for gardeners, especially if you want to store season bulbs!
Dollar store ice cube tray organizing
Ice cube trays are super practical storage units that you can use for all the little bits and pieces of things you have around you. You can use them to store sewing or even office supplies, such as these ones from “Home Made Simple.” Or, you could also use an idea from “Yesterday On Tuesday” and use the ice cub tray as a cute earring holder.
Moreover, it’s super easy to tuck it into a drawer if you ever want to hide your precious items! Or, you can use it to hold your vitamins and supplements for the week. The wide majority of pill holders aren’t big enough, so this could work just fine. If you’re a big fan of huge magnesium and omega 3’s, you’ll be happy with the results. The only thing you need to be mindful of is to keep it away from children and pets.

They’re super quick to grab!
