you some new, fun organizing products I found at the dollar store. So if you are getting

organized inside your house and you are looking for organizing products and you are looking

for affordable ways to get organized, I hope you find this video helpful because everything

I found at the dollar store was just a dollar and they’re all fun ways to get organized.

But first, if this is your first time watching any of my videos and you were just getting

started with organizing or you are a new subscriber to my channel, you can check out my free video

series on three tasks to do tonight to wake up feeling more organized tomorrow morning.

There’s a link below.

All right. So let’s go ahead and get started. All right. So the first thing I found here

at the dollar store were these very cool, cute, colorful, little bins just like that.

They are stackable drawers. They look like they go on a desktop but you can totally use

them at – on your countertop in the bathroom, under your cabinet in the bathroom again,

under the kitchen for little – just little things around your house that you want to

corral and get organized.

All right. The next thing, there are a lot of things here. So the next things were these

really fun, colorful, drawer organizers that come in hot pink. This is such a fun color.

It’s like neon pink. Neon pink. It came in a bright yellow or like an orange. It comes

in green also and then a blue as well.

Now we are just getting started with organizing our house because we just moved and I popped

one of these into Ed’s drawer in his bathroom and it was like a perfect fit. I can’t wait

to show you guys the video to show you everything we did but it fits so perfectly without any

kind of putty.

So these were fun. Again, they’re great for any kind of drawer where you want to sort

and categorize things. So along the same lines, I found these awesome, colorful, little plastic

bins. Just like that, they’re just like those but those are like translucent and these

are solid colors. Again, for any kind of drawer you have around your house.

So they come in pink. They come in orange. They come in green and they come in blue.

I’ve only seen these in blue before. Like I’ve seen every year in blue but I guess

this year they have fun colors for spring. So a lot of these things were from their new

like spring fling – I think that’s what they’re calling it, spring fling release

of new products.

All right. Next thing, hangers. So plastic hangers. If you are looking for fun hangers,

the Dollar Tree has them in orange. They come in hot pink. They come in like a turquoise

color and then I think I also saw green. So it’s like the same colors as these ones

here.

All right. Next thing was this little dog treat container. But just because it’s for

dog treats does not mean you only have to put dog treats inside. You can put other things

around your house. Use it in the garage for small hardware. Use it in the craft closet

for craft supplies or use it anywhere where you are corralling things.

All right. The next thing was this little tablet organizer, tablet pouch. You put your

tablet inside, your e-reader so it doesn’t get damaged. But just because it’s for tablets

does not mean you only have to use it for tablets. You can totally use this for jewelry,

in your suitcase while you travel. You can use it for your passport, any other small

things while you travel. You can use it in the car, like in your glove compartment. I

feel like this is the perfect fit inside the little compartment for important documents.

You can put wires and cords in here, anything that you want to protect it because it’s

kind of like a padded envelope and that came in pink. It came in light blue. It came in

dark blue and it came in red.

All right. So this is a fun find. This is a bright neon folder but it’s not just a

folder. It’s a folder inside with two pockets. You can put a little business card right here

but it also has a poly envelope on the outside for small pieces of paper like receipts, coupons,

stickers, anything that you cut out or something. So it’s just like a different kind of folder

and it’s so fun in color. All right. That came in other colors as well.

All right. This next thing, colorful tape for color coding things around your house.

So it’s PVC electrical tape but this would be awesome for color coding all your wires

and cords behind your entertainment center, like behind the TV, behind your desk for – like

computer, printer, mouse, whatever you want to color code with.

Just wrap it around your cord. Grab a permanent marker. Label what it is and then you know

exactly what to unplug when you are unplugging something.

All right, contact paper. So I love using contact paper in drawers, on the back of a

book case, the back of a wall or anything where you want to add a pop of color without

painting. So the dollar store had this new fun print. It’s silver and white and it’s

just a fun print. So that was a new color and then they also had this new fun color.

It’s like – it’s like leaves. I don’t know. It’s like leaves I guess but it’s

a cushion contact paper.

So you would put it at the bottom of a drawer. So I used – so again, we’re organizing

our entire house. All these new systems are getting set up. So I use this in the bathroom

and in another place in the house and I use it as a noise barrier. So when you open the

drawer and you put something down, it’s not going to make this loud noise because

it has this cushion at the bottom of the drawer. It has made a world of difference in the bathroom

drawers.

So I will show that in an upcoming video. All right. The next thing and I move kind

of fast because there are a lot of things here. This is a magnetic little organizer

that you can put on the side of the fridge or in the front of the fridge or on a magnetic

strip in your office and you can put push pins in here. You can put rubber bands in

here, anything small that you want to keep contained.

Next thing, this was really fun. So I have something just like this. It’s a colorful

poly envelope. It’s like a receipt organizer or you can put your coupons in here sorted

by category. But it’s colorful and I’ve never seen this at the dollar store before

and I have this and I did not pay a dollar. So this was so fun. It has seven different

sections. You would just label all your sections. Parts and materials, computer expenses, whatever

your categories are or whatever your coupons are.

Then you can just close it up. You can label it on the outside with whatever you’re storing

inside like coupon organizer, receipt organizer. So that was a totally fun find. All right.

The next thing – so I found more duct tape or more tape but duct tape and I tried using

it and it’s super sticky and I have to say I tried using this as well. It’s super sticky.

It really sticks. There was another tape I found at the dollar store that was pretty

but it didn’t stick. This sticks really well and they have this – they have a bunch

of new patterns. So this is like a bright colored paisley pattern and then they have

a colorful chevron pattern as well.

So those are fun and you can use them as labels, like on the front of a shoebox. You can use

them for hanging stuff or DIY projects. You can use them for all sorts of things.

All right. Then I found these little label holders and I can’t remember if I showed

these. I think I showed these like two years ago or something. But they’re label holders.

You can label binders. You can label baskets. You can label bins. You can label anything

that needs a label. It’s like a little laminated label and you just pop a label in there and

it’s nice and laminated. It won’t peel off.

All right. The next thing – all right. So I love using mini binders for – I use the

same binder as my coupon binder. I did a video on it a couple of years ago. It’s awesome.

Mini binders are great. They are hard to find inserts because they are so small.

The dollar store had mini binder dividers just like this. Never seen them before. They

have a nice pocket right here for smaller pieces of paper and they come three to a pack.

Now if you need six dividers or you need more dividers, what you can do is you can get two

packs and you can just take the divider and – I’m going to have to do this like this.

You can flip it upside down and put it in upside down and you can create a divider that’s

down here.

So if you do that with a second pack, flip them all upside down. You now have six dividers

that are all lined up. You just can’t use the pocket because it’s upside down. Well,

I guess you could. You just have to paper clip whatever you want to store inside, the

upside down pocket. But how fun, sturdy. They’re fun colors and that was just a fun find.

All right. Let’s move along. Next thing, so part of their like spring fling new products

and new colors that came out was this fun coral color. I feel like I’m really into

coral lately and this is just such a fun bin. It’s a different sized bin. It’s not like

your typical shoe size box. Shoe size – yeah, shoe box.

It’s a little bit smaller and wider. So this is fun. It has fun like floral print

on the outside and that comes in pink. It comes in this fun green right here. This is

a letter tray. The same thing comes in pink, coral, green and this color. Now if you want

to like stack letter trays together, you could use mounting putty or Museum Putty to stick

them together so they don’t move and then stick this into the desk so it doesn’t move.

I have this thing about organizing products that move. All right. So this next thing is

a cord organizer for a dollar. So it’s a cord organizer that goes on your desk or on

an entertainment center, wherever there are cords and wires. They’re going to unplug

and you don’t want the wire or cord to fall behind the piece of furniture.

So it was a dollar and I tried testing it out to see if it really worked and here you

go. Here is my test. So I put it on a piece of wood. The adhesive did not stick and I

read this online that the adhesive is not very good. So, I took the adhesive off and

added my own double-sided sticky mounting tape and it works perfectly now. It’s so

secure to this piece of wood and now if I unplug this wire and I just pop it into this

holder right here, the wire is not going to – it’s not going to fall behind whatever

furniture.

I have the wire on or behind or something. But anyway, this was a dollar. If you go on

Amazon, it’s like 16 bucks plus $7 shipping. It’s crazy. So that was just like a really

fun find and I just found that in like some random aisle. It was misplaced and I think

it was like the last one.

All right. For the very first time, I saw Command strips at the dollar store. They had

two small ones, two to a pack for small ones and then one to a pack for large ones and

I looked – I was comparing the price to see if this was a good deal and it seems like

it’s like the same deal at Walmart and the same deal online. So it’s not really a better

deal but if you’re at the dollar store and you need a Command strip, some Dollar Trees

have them.

All right. The next thing was fabric tape. So I only found this at one dollar store.

It’s fabric tape. I guess you use it for fabric but I use this in the bathroom for

organizing something which I will show you in an upcoming video. It works great. It is

so sticky. It doesn’t peel. It’s actually hard to peel off and it comes in fun, cute

patterns.

So I will show you that when we get to the bathroom. All right. They also had washi tape

that was Scotch brand. I have Scotch brand washi tape, a bigger roll, and it sticks so

well. It’s easy to peel off and it comes in fun patterns and colors.

All right. So this next thing is a – it’s like a cake pan, lasagna pan that I saw at

the dollar store and it comes in colors. Like the top is a color. The top is purple. It

also comes in pink. I saw it. I was like you could totally do this for sorting papers or

for craft supplies or for something light because these things aren’t very sturdy.

But for some reason when you put the top on the bottom, it becomes like super sturdy.

So anyway, this comes in purple and pink. If you don’t want to use this as a cake

pan, you could totally use it for papers, anything light and everything else I just

mentioned.

All right. The last thing I found was this garlic wine vinegar. So out of everything

that I found at the dollar store, this was actually one of my favorite things that I

found and I’m not going to share with you what I do with this just yet but it has to

do with getting organized. I’m going to share with you in an upcoming video a cool

way to use this.

So I hope you found this video helpful. I hope it gave you a lot of ideas on creative

ways to get organized but also get organized on a budget and not go crazy spending a lot

of money.
