Are you tired of water bottles taking over your kitchen cabinets? Staying hydrated is great, but storing all of those bulky bottles is not fun. The good news is that you can find a simple and affordable fix that's available at Dollar Tree. One clever item is all you need to turn that chaotic cabinet into a neatly organized space, and you won't find it in the kitchen section. Instead, look for a plastic book bin or magazine file from Dollar Tree to keep your bottles organized for just $1.25.

While you technically only need one water bottle, we all somehow end up with a whole collection. There are the branded ones from the company outing, the ones used for biking and running, and the ones specifically for the kids. Water bottles have turned into an actual cultural obsession, and it's likely you've fallen victim to the hype. Before you know it, your cabinets are overflowing and you're forgetting some of them at the back of the shelf. When you reach for it, the others come toppling down.

To solve this issue, the idea is to use a book organizer or magazine file vertically to stack water bottles on top of each other in groups of three. That way, you can easily see all the water bottles you have and reach them easily. In addition, having dedicated storage for a limited number of water bottles is a clever decluttering trick that can help keep your kitchen more organized. If you have too many water bottles to store, it might be time to get rid of some of them. 

This trick is beyond easy. Each book organizer can store three water bottles, so choose how many to buy based on your storage needs. Then, place the book bins vertically on a shelf of your kitchen cupboard. Place the longer end of the bin at the bottom, with the opening facing you. If you're using more than one bin, place them next to each other to create several sections. Just slide your water bottles into the bins horizontally, and you're done!

You can leave this DIY as is, or use some Command strips or double-sided tape to help secure the setup in place. Place one adhesive strip at the bottom of the bin to stick it against the shelf, or use it at the back of the bin to secure it against the back wall of the cabinet. Either way, this will help the bins stay in place even as you pull water bottles in and out. This hack works with other types of magazine bins, but it's best to use a hard material like plastic or metal. There are also cardboard options, but they might deteriorate over time, especially if you ever use them to store lightly damp bottles after washing them. 

This is one of many genius water bottle storage hacks to organize and declutter your cabinets. If you've got an extra large collection and you've already tried to declutter, consider some more extensive solutions, like dedicating an entire drawer to water bottles. Using these tricks in addition to other hacks, like shelf inserts and risers, is a great way to utilize every inch of cabinet storage space.
