I’m on My Way to Aldi to Grab These Perfect $5 Organizers (You’ll Want 3!)

Hi! I’m Charli and I cover the secrets to better living and hosting at home, which include cleaning and organizing, entertaining, wellness, real estate, travel, and beyond. I always wanted to be a writer, just like my mom. I landed my first magazine job before graduating college and I’ve been a print/digital journalist for more than 20 years. I began my editorial career covering entertainment and then quickly discovered my passion was unlocking the secrets to a healthier, happier life at home with those we love, so I began to focus on reporting on relationships, wellness, travel, and lifestyle. My career has been spotlighted in the New York Times and Forbes and I’ve been an on-air personality and repeat guest, discussing things I love (like organizing and cleaning), on the TODAY Show. When I’m not writing or editing, I’ve moderated lifestyle programming at conferences and festivals with thousands of attendees, hosted travel and food TV series and a Webby-nominated lifestyle podcast, and interviewed icons like Oprah and Prince Harry. I love discovering simple ways to get more out of life — at home, at work, or on the go — and when I’m not out and about you’ll find me spending quality time with my husband and dogs, sitting pretty in my garden, or hosting themed gatherings for family and friends.

For me, there’s nothing like finding a great deal on something I need but just can’t bring myself to pay top dollar for, like finds for home organization. I’m constantly in pursuit of a great deal on products that help me tidy up and stay organized day-to-day, which often leads me to the aisles of Aldi. 

If you’re an Aldi regular, you already know that it’s known for way more than just its low-cost groceries — you’ll also find unbeatable deals on everyday home decor there too. Perhaps some of the most popular are Aldi’s organizers, which often go viral because they’re so practical and affordable. 

I’ve already scored great makeup, drawer, bedroom, and closet organizing essentials from Aldi, and I’ve recently been on the hunt for an organizer to help me tackle some of the smaller clutter in my home — like tea bags, trinkets, and knickknacks. And after perusing Aldi’s upcoming new storage finds, it looks like my search is over.

Aldi’s new Joie Divided Organizer is exactly what I’ll need to wrangle easy-to-miss clutter all around my house. It’s super-compact (​​8.5″L x 5.7″W x 3.4″H) and divided into six individual compartments that are perfect for sorting and storing random smaller items around the house like loose change, cotton swabs, safety pins, and craft supplies. Priced at just $4.99 each, these are a steal, and I plan to stock up on them to help me corral the tiny clutter building in every room of my home.

They’re perfect helpers for my home office clutter, because they’ll fit comfortably atop my desk or inside the smaller drawers and hold things like paper clips, staples, rubber bands, and other miscellaneous office stuff. I’m also planning to use them on my bathroom cabinet shelves to hold tiny hair accessories like bobby pins, elastic bands, and more. Even my coffee station may get some love, because these are perfectly sized to store and neatly display tea bags or sugar packets.

They’re going to be sold in four colors (black, beige, burnt orange, or green) which makes it easy to mix and match them with your home’s color palette. Honestly, what’s not to love about these little organizers with big potential? Be right back — I’m off to buy three!

If you can’t get to an Aldi near you, I found a great alternative that will also keep the small stuff in your life organized.
