iDesign 6-Piece Recycled Kitchen Organization and Storage Set
Price: $24.98
This six-piece set of kitchen organizers is the simplest tool for everything from fridge storage of kid's drinks and fruit pouches to lunch snacks.
It comes with six clear and stackable storage bins of three sizes, and it's made of 100% recycled materials. You get two 10-by-6-by-5-inch bins, two 10-by-4-by-5-inch bins and two 10-by-8-by-3-inch bins, and each has a built-in handle for quick access.
The bins are BPA-free and work just as well in the pantry, bathroom, craft room or laundry room. They're hand-wash only. Members give the set a 4.8-star average across more than 700 ratings. By comparison, a four-piece set of stackable organizers (all the same size) costs $33 at Home Depot.
We Think Storage Collapsible Under Bed Fabric Storage Bin
Price: $44.98
With this, you get two drawers that create easy storage for blankets and sheets. With zippers, these are dust-proof and hold up to 55L of capacity. The bins are made of ultra-thick fabric reinforced with cardboard and have faux leather handles, so they're easy to slide in and out. When you don't need them, they fold flat. They're also handy for out-of-season clothing.
These storage bins are so pretty you don't need a long bed cover to hide them. Compare them to the Home Depot IRIS Under Bed Box Chest Drawer, a less flexible option priced at $33.46 for a single drawer.

This bookcase with six bins is a fast and easy way to clean up and organize any room. It provides ample space and a neat, tidy appearance.

Price: $69.98
This 20-by-48-by-72-inch shelf is a sturdy place to store all of your garage's "stuff," from sports gear to gardening items. It's made in the USA from heavy-duty polypropylene, so it won't rust in a damp garage or basement.
It's strong, can support up to 200 pounds on each shelf, and is simple to put together. Assembly is tool-free, and the roughly 14.6 inches between shelves is sized to fit Member's Mark 27-gallon totes. You can also link several units together for modular storage. Over at Lowe's, the similar-sized Project Source 5-tier shelf carries the same 200-pound-per-shelf rating, though its price varies by store.
