Price: $1.50

These colorful, shallow plastic bins are budget-friendly and easy to use. At $1.50 each, you can afford to nab a few.

Amy Kunst, principal designer and founder of Designed Curated Interiors, suggests bins like these for bathrooms and kitchens. Kunst explains, "Small plastic bins play an important role in creating a dedicated area for things like snacks, first-aid, or extras. The best part is that homeowners get labeled categories that can be used as drawers instead of one giant space."

Price: $1.25

Boxes and bins don't have to look basic. Dollar Tree's popular 10.5-inch collapsible fabric cubes feature stylish patterns and bold colors. Amanda Wiss, founder of New York City-based home organizing company Urban Clarity, says these are "perfect for everything from sports equipment, to socks, to extra cords and electronics."

Price: $3

Wiss also notes, "Dollar stores are great for clear acrylic trays and organizers for makeup, pencils, and other small items that can get lost when left in loose drawers."

This Dollar Tree deal is a steal for $3. Use the larger section to hold lotion, toothpaste, or soap, and smaller slots for blush brushes, eyebrow pencils, or cotton swabs. A similar organizer from a specialty retailer like The Container Store sells for over $20.

Price: $5

Of course, Dollar Tree's stationary vanity organizer isn't the only acrylic option. We followed Wiss's advice and found this rotating version that is also perfect for storing smaller items.

Don't let the word "bath" in the name trick you. While you can organize soap, lotion, and makeup in this clear container, you can also use it for crafting supplies, or pens and pencils. And bonus, a tiny twirl gives you access to everything in the see-through slots.

Price: $1.25

Organize your bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or any other interior area without making permanent changes to your space. This six-hook 14.5-by-3.5-inch hanger is lightweight, durable, and a breeze to install. Simply place it over a closet door, and you're ready to go. No hardware or complicated instructions required.

Jake Fry, owner of Smallworks, uses this easy option to "maximize existing storage by turning doors and walls into space for bags, tools, or cleaning supplies."

Price: $1.25

These sturdy book bins feature a curved design that adds extra space, making them perfect for everything from folders and important documents to photo albums.

According to Fry, "Vertical file holders also help keep shelves organized and usable, as they will keep the various items organized and upright, preventing stacks from falling over."

Price: $1.50

Fry also suggests using trays or shallow bins. He explains that these "provide a designated place for small items, keeping them from becoming lost in drawers and cabinets."

Don't worry about everything slipping and sliding in these bins. The 9.75-by-6.75-by-2-inch drawer organizers have an internal gripper bottom.

Price: $1.25

Get this designer dupe for a steal. The sleek, stylish black mesh mini bin can hold more than just pencils or pens. Patio Productions Technical Product Manager Mike Bowman notes, "They contain the same structural durability as high-end. Luxury retailers sell their containers for 20 times the price of a $1.25 item."

Looking for a way to organize your garage or shed? Bowman adds, "I use them to organize my small tools and hardware."

Price: $6

Bowman is also a fan of Dollar Tree's plastic slotted baskets with handles. He notes, "I recognize the importance of durable and washable storage products. Plastic bins will withstand moisture and humidity far longer than expensive wicker or fabric products."

Not only do these colorful cubes provide plenty of space to hold everything from cushions to shoes, but they also collapse for easy storage. That means you can stash them under a bed, in a closet, or behind the sofa.

Price: $4

Pass on pricey shelving units and snap up these stackables. Even though the dollar store find costs more than $1, the 8.78-by-13.78-by-10.63-inch bins are still a bargain at $4 each.

Hugh Dixon of PSS Removals has helped families relocate and organize their homes for a decade. He adores this budget-friendly buy and told us, "I love stackable plastic bins when organizing products in bathrooms and kitchens, as they can keep your cleaning supplies or pantry product categories separate."

Price: $1.50

Dixon also swears by wire baskets, noting that they are, "very stylish and chic." We spotted this bold, bright blue style at Dollar Tree for $1.50.

Price: $1.50

You won't need a drill, laser level, or other fancy tools to hang these hooks. The self-adhesive back makes installation a snap. And bonus, if you don't need the extra space, this plastic piece is removable.

Organizer and author of "Stop Buying Bins," Bonnie Borromeo Tomlinson, says, "Wall hooks are a quick and easy way to get things off the floor and use your vertical space instead of your surface area."

According to the pros, you don't have to waste money on brand names. That's why they swear by these Dollar Tree deals. The budget-friendly buys combine form and function, making it easy to organize your space for less.

Of course, smart storage products aren't the only items that will leave more cash in your wallet at this dollar store. We also spotted bargains on everything from haute home decor to practical kitchenware.
