The must-have organizing tool that will change your life: and it costs less than a dollar!

I can be pretty picky when it comes to choosing organizational supplies. I like most of my bins and baskets to match, so that I can move them around to different closets or rooms when needed, and everything still coordinates. For this reason I buy mostly white and clear bins, and light-colored natural woven baskets.

There is one bin that I’ve discovered works absolutely anywhere, I probably own close to 20 of them, and they’ve changed my life. If you don’t think an organizational bin can change your life – well then, you and I are very different people. The best part about this particular bin? It costs 98 cents. Yep, you read that correctly – less than a buck.

I buy mine at Home Depot, and you can also grab these awesome bins on Amazon  It’s the Sterilite 6 Quart Storage Box in Clear Plastic,and you need several. I’m serious, go buy some! But first, let me show you where I use them in my own house, and also some inspiring examples I’ve rounded up from others.

Sterilite 16428012 6 Quart/5.7 Liter Storage Box, White Lid with Clear Base (Pack of 12)
I use them in my kids room for toy storage. I love that they’re big enough to hold a lot of toys, but small enough for kids to get on and off the shelf.

I use them in my catch-all closet that houses craft supplies, linens, and board games. These bins are perfect for the craft supplies – they stack nicely and kids that can’t read labels yet can easily see what’s inside.

I even use these babies in the garage. These two store power drill accessories and miscellaneous hand tools.
