Say Goodbye To Kitchen Clutter: Costco Shoppers Are In Love With This Affordable Solution

We're willing to shell out a little bit of our hard-earned coin for products that help us create a more organized cooking space, whether it's a lazy Susan in kitchen cabinets (endorsed by Martha Stewart!) or clear bins in our freezer to hack tidier stashing of cold foods. What's even better, though, is when we get a killer deal on storage solutions, because that frees up more money in the budget for other things like better ingredients or more snacks! Over at Costco, we discovered a rolling cart with shelves that might just be the perfect do-it-all addition to our kitchen storage.

There are areas of Costco that you should avoid if you're guilty of impulse buying, but we can see ourselves heading straight for the Neatfreak 3-Tier Extra-Wide Rolling Cart next time we visit, provided it's in stock at our local warehouse. (As of this writing, it's sold out for many ZIP codes, which is a bummer, but perhaps not a long-term problem!) For $46.99, you get a stylish, utilitarian black rolling cart with handles that's a smidge under three feet high, with a trio of roomy shelves that measure 26.1 x 13.7 inches, leaving plenty of room for your essentials. 

Compare that to a near-identical Brightroom rolling cart at Target, which is smaller in every dimension, yet retails for $55! We'd love to use this cart as a mobile pantry. It's petite enough to roll into a corner, yet it has plenty of space for all the items you must have on hand, like flour and sugar containers, common spices, paper towels, and the utensils you reach for most often.

On Costco's website, a stellar 4.8/5-star rating attests to the fact that this cart is attractive, useful, and absolutely chockablock full of uses. While some folks used the shelves to organize hobby supplies or even as a bedside table, we were intrigued by those who put it to work in their kitchens. "Love it!" one review was titled, going on to gush, "This works great. Bigger than I thought I would be. Holds a lot and is sturdy. Perfect size for the kitchen." Another purchaser praised its storage potential: "Very functional. Helps to keep things off my kitchen counter, it's a great value and looks great." Many other reviewers chimed in that the cart helped them keep their kitchens in order. "This is a very functional rolling cart and it looks great in my kitchen," stated one representative buyer.

Depending on the size of your kitchen and your needs, we can see how you might be tempted to purchase more than one unit to help keep different areas in check. If you have a walk-in pantry, this cart makes a perfect mobile utility station for items you want to transport between your prep area and storage. We can also see placing one in your dining room to hold serving utensils and to place decorative items during a meal. These carts would also be indispensable during holidays and parties to roll up alongside your serving trays for condiments and utensils, cutting down on the need for precious counter space.
