Myth: You have to spend a fortune to get your home organized. Fact: If you know where to look, you can find the most versatile, brilliant storage gems for just a few dollars. Don’t believe me? I chatted with New York City-based pro organizer Caroline Solomon of Caroline Solomon Home about her favorite storage finds to score from Dollar Tree right now, and she shared five picks for under $23.

5 Dollar Tree Storage Gems a Pro Organizer Swears by

Storage Essentials Clear Acrylic Rotating Kitchen Turntable
$2

Kitchen turntables or ‘lazy Susans’ are an absolute must-have for kitchen organization,” Solomon says. “Of course, you can use them in your pantry to prevent anything from getting lost in the shuffle, but I love using them even more in the fridge to organize condiments, pickles, and jams.”

Straw Basket Tray
$5

Solomon loves these multipurpose baskets. “These straw baskets are so cute and would blend in well in any space. Use them as a catchall for entryway essentials, or even as storage for pet toys. There are endless possibilities!”

C.O.S Plastic Two-Stack Rack
$6

“This two-stack rack is the perfect solution for bathroom cabinet storage,” she says. “Corral all your toiletry extras into these bins, and you’ll spend much less time hunched over searching for that extra bottle of conditioner.”

Tall Baskets with Handles
$4

Solomon likes to use these tall baskets with handles as storage/caddies for cleaning supplies. “They’re great for toting cleaning products around the house for easy cleaning in every room.”

C.O.S. Stackable Container with Drawer
$6

“These stackable containers with drawers are absolutely perfect for storing everything from extra office supplies to toiletries,” Solomon says. “And as your collection of items grows, you can just stack another bin on top. Easy peasy!”
