Favorite Stores for Organization Products
From a very young age, I realized that organization is my JAM! My obsession has grown increasingly worse over the years though, I look at that as a good thing. However, sometimes I might go a LITTLE too far. Party in the pantry any one?

Now, I want to take you through some of my favorite my places to shop for all things organized.
Let’s get started!!
1. Dollar Tree
Boy oh boy do I love this store! This is one of my happy places. Bad day at work? Go to DT! Got some sad news? Go to DT! Need to celebrate good news? Go to DOLLAR TREE!!!! You can get really good items here without breaking the bank. They even carry a lot of name brand items like Tide, Advil, Pop Tarts, and more. They occasionally carry As Seen on TV products too. It truly is a great odds and ends type store than can really surprise you.
But the best part about Dollar Tree is the amount of organizational products they have. I get most of my bins, totes, and drawer organization from here. Many of the smaller items come as bundles of two or three which gives you more bang for your buck.
It you aren’t afraid of color, there are SO many options for storage solutions. Personally, I like more neutral colors (white, grey, black, and darker blues). These colors ARE available at the dollar tree but sometimes can be hard to find. Alas, how will I organize if I don’t have enough of the same color *sad face* Did you know you that the Dollar Tree has an online store? NO? Well they do and it’s amaZing! I definitely use it when I have large projects that I plan to tackle rather than running to multiple locations trying to get matching storage. Note: many of the products come with multiple colors in the box. 
I only wanted the white containers for my pantry but the box also included blue container. I used some at work and used the rest for my “shop” for screws and other small bits.
When shopping online I’ll have my items shipped to my local Dollar Tree to eliminate the shipping charge (it gives me another excuse to happily skip down the aisles of my nearest DT).
2. Big Lots
When I can’t find exactly what I want at Dollar Tree, my next stop is Big Lots. They have a good selection of bins, organizers, drawers and totes for pretty cheap. For example, I hated having to pull out a million things out of the fridge to reach something allll the way in the back. I wanted clear storage so that I could see what I had easily but still able to move multiple items at once.
Big Lots had these handled baskets that were exactly what I wanted. I couldn’t take a complete picture of my refrigerator because I suck at adulting and never have food in the house. Any way, Big Lots has a lot more “toned down” colors than the Dollar Tree so it’s a good place find chic storage solutions.
3. Walmart/Target
These big boxes stores carry everything and the same goes for organizational products. I typically get my office organization from one of these stores because they are big companies that can keep prices pretty low on most things. And of course their websites have even more options and shipping is pretty fast too. I will price compare to Amazon and Staples to make sure I’m getting the best price.
4. The Container Store
Pull out your checkbooks ladies and gents (yes I still have a checkbook! Don’t make fun!). This store is an organizer’s heaven on earth. Their tag line is LITERALLY “Storage, Organization, and Custom Closets”. And yes they fully live up to their purpose. I don’t have any container stores near me but when I pass by one I make sure to stop. If you are looking for something very specific for your organizational needs or esthetic, this store will definitely have it. Probably won’t be cheap, but they will have it.
Bonus “Store”:
Amazon of course. Whenever I’m at any of the above stores, I price compare to Amazon for the same or similar products. I have Prime and don’t have to worry about shipping costs the majority of the time. Even if you don’t have Prime, most orders will ship free over $25.
Here are a couple pictures with items from the above referenced stores:
Locker Style Bins: Dollar Tree
Lattice Style Basket: Big Lots or similar
Pull Down Spice Rack: Walmart
Spice Containers: Big Lots
Hope this will help you on your journey to a semi-organized life. Do you have any other favorite stores that I should check out? Leave a comment!
