Say what you will about Dollar Tree — yes, we know that not everything there is $1 anymore — but it is indisputably Ground Zero for inexpensive organizational tools. We previously covered Dollar Tree must-haves to organize your kitchen, but, today, we're focusing specifically on the state of your cabinets. Let's face it: most people don't have as much kitchen space as they would like. Consequently, most people's cabinets are cluttered. If you've sighed over the home organization corner of TikTok or Pinterest, you've undoubtedly seen influencers equipped with costly organizers that make their cabinets picture-perfect. We're here to tell you that you can be a baller with a dollar (okay, maybe a few dollars) at the Dollar Tree and achieve the same tidy look for less. 

If you have $50 (or even less!), you probably have enough coin to stock your kitchen cabinets with everything you need to whip them into shape. Of course, this depends on how many cabinets you are trying to organize; naturally, a big kitchen may take more supplies, while a more modestly-sized space might require less. Either way, take a look at these Dollar Tree finds and start planning your organizational strategy, because your cabinets are about to get a big glow-up!

These small boards (they are only 23 inches by 17 inches) currently run $3 apiece and can attach to the inside of a large cabinet door. Basically, they are going to help you get your life in order. On the cork board, pin up info for commonly-used home services like plumbers, electricians, and pizza delivery. On the chalk board, keep a running list as you use up ingredients or remember key tasks. Is it time to pick up avocados at the grocery store? You'll know without rummaging when you use this board and making your grocery list will be easy-peasy. 

Bobby Flay taught us how to organize a kitchen pantry by cuisine, and we can foresee doing the same thing with these nifty baskets that feature easily grabbed handles. All your Italian seasonings in one basket, all your Indian spices in another, all your coffee syrups and stir-ins ... you get the point. Line these baskets up and everything you need for dinner is all in one place. Best of all, at just $1.50 apiece, you can furnish all your cabinets with this darn near effortless system. 

Utilizing your vertical space is the best way to use heretofore wasted room in your cabinets, and these stackable drawers, which cost $5 apiece, will do the trick. Devote a corner of an under-sink cabinet to a stack of these, and presto! You have storage for small, fiddly items that might otherwise float around and take up valuable space, like kitchen towels (Martha Stewart knows a practical way to store them, for bonus points!), sponges, garbage disposal cleaning drops, and so on.

For $1.50 each, these baskets will work a treat at corralling small-sized stuff, the likes of which seem to run rampant in cabinets. Organize your condiments (and then add them to your tomato soup!), get all your sugar varieties on the same page, or line up boxes of sides or packets of instant mashed potatoes. It seems almost too simple, but having a place to store things instead of letting them float free in a disorganized pile will bring much-needed order to your storage space. 

Somehow, our kitchen cabinets became an extension of our garage — that's where you definitely shouldn't store bottled water, by the way. For just $1.50 each, these cases will contain all the loose screws, tacks, and clothespins that we keep in our cabinets for modest home repairs. Your junk drawer (or cabinet!) deserves an upgrade, too. On a more food-related note, why not use one of these handy-dandy storage cases for managing all your packets of drive-thru and delivery sauces? 

Who needs a fancy spice rack when you have this $1.50 workhorse? We already discussed the value of utilizing vertical space, and this is another great tool for doing just that. Unique spices give your dishes pizazz, and, with this tiered rack and some inexpensive but gorgeous glass spice jars with bamboo lids and hundreds of labels, your arsenal of spices will look professional and picturesque. Spices aren't the only thing you can store on these racks, either — any jars or boxes will be easier to see than stored flat. 

Have you noticed the theme of "height, height, height!" yet? Costing $5 apiece as of writing, these stackable storage shelves create tons of space where, before, there was only a 16-inch by 8-inch rectangle. The shelves are small, but you'd be amazed all the storage they facilitate. Boxes of tea, baking soda, and baggies of minute rice will cozy right into the nooks. These are also a phenomenal way to organize and store canned goods so that you can actually see your canned soup, and even use it to make a creamy pasta sauce!

We love these versatile $3 bins that stack up, especially when filled with items we don't use every day but still want kept safe for the next go-around. Imagine seasonal tea towels, birthday candles and streamers, and that fancy silverware you only bring out for parties (since failing to set a festive table is one of the mistakes that could ruin holiday brunch). These bins are a great way to organize those hard-to-reach cabinets (like the ones over appliances) and keep the contents safe from the dust of disuse.
