These perfectly shaped boxes are meant to hold a bar of soap. Oh, but they do so much more than that. How about putting a deck of cards in there.

Dollar Store Magazine Rack

There are multiple fabulous ways to use a dollar store magazine rack in organizing. I’ll give you my top 2. First, you can use it to store things like your aluminum foil and plastic wrap either upright or setting it on its thin longest side.

Second, you can use a wider magazine rack that will allow you to fit canned food inside. If you use it for canned food you will need to fashion some sort of stopper so they don’t all slide out.

Ice Cube Tray

Another one of my 8 dollar store organization ideas is the ice cube tray. There are more ways to use an ice cube tray then just for ice cubes. It’s the perfect way to store earrings. Each pair gets its own little cubby and that way you won’t end up with a tangled mess.
