I love love love Dollar Tree. I buy a lot of things there. Many of the items you show I have not been able to find. I’ve looked in 5 different Dollar Trees in my area. Some can be found online but it’s always large quantities, I don’t need 12/24/36 of one item.
I know what you mean, it’s a shame they don’t offer smaller quantities.
I like to use the laser cut storage bins in the kitchen to hold paper plates (large and small), paper bowls and extra napkins that won’t fit my napkin holder just yet. In the bathroom I like to use them to organize shampoo, conditioner, soaps, extra oral care items, air fresheners, etc., they work well in the fridge and freezer for organizing food. Turn them on their side and hang them with command hooks for a corner nightstand shelf. They are great for holding school papers, mail abd magazines too of course. The possibilities are really endless!
Thanks for sharing!
The hanging planter (if you can find them, they aren’t in any of my local DT, I’ve been looking) would also be great in the kitchen for fruits and veggies that don’t live in the fridge. And they would also be great to store stuffed animals in a kids room and the could even be used in the bathroom to hang kids toys to dry. These are just some ideas as to how I think outside the box and use things for other than obvious uses.Hope this helps someone.
Great ideas! Thanks so much for sharing!
Reading through I have about half of these. I use the stackable letter file in my fridge to the meat from the freezer. It makes cleaning out the fridge a lit easier.
Great tip, thank you!
I love Dollar Tree for organization, and I have some of these items already. But, I’m going to look for some of the other ones–I need some of those glass bowls with the lids. I featured this today at TFT. Thanks for sharing!

These are all great storage ideas! I have dollar store baskets in my linen closet that hold sheets and throws. They really help keep things neat.
Thanks for sharing that tip, Michelle!
A big variety of choices for organization! I’ve not noticed many of those items in their store so it’s nice to know they can be purchased on their website. Pinned. Visiting from Grace at Home.
I know, I’ve been surprised by how much is available on their website!
