I Asked a Pro Organizer to Shop at Dollar General — Here’s Her $18 Haul

Yang is all about versatility, and these over-the-door hooks do it all. “I use them for everything from hanging tea towels in the pantry to towels or bathrobes in the bathroom. They’re also great for organizing reusable bags or even purses, and I’ll use them in kids’ bedrooms to hang pajamas or next-day outfits.”

“I like using these adhesive hooks inside cabinet doors to create storage right where it’s needed,” Yang says. In the kitchen, she uses them to hang oven mitts or pot holders, and in the bedroom, for belts, scarves, and jewelry.

“Self-adhesive decorative coverings are great for cutting to size and placing inside drawers or lining shelves,” Yang says. “I really enjoy creating visual zones. I line sections of pantry shelves with different colored adhesives so I can easily tell, just by looking at the liner, where snacks or baking items belong.”

Yang loves these adhesive dots for subtle, flexible labeling without committing to anything permanent. “Because they’re transparent, they don’t visually clutter your storage the way traditional labels can,” she says. “I use them as a discreet way to mark bins or boxes, especially when I want a clean look and can write labels that can be updated easily.”

You can never go wrong with all-purpose Krazy Glue, which Yang always likes to have on hand: “I use it for creating labels on storage tubs when I want a more permanent labeling system that won’t peel off over time. I’ll also use it to seal small cracks in organizing bins or trays. Sometimes it helps to make what you already have last longer instead of having to replace it.”
