Dollar Tree Fan Shares Simple $1.50 Solution To Organize Fridge Essentials

When it comes to interesting, useful, and affordable finds at Dollar Tree, the brand consistently releases things that can be used in a variety of ways. From DIY projects to organization, there are a lot of Dollar Tree items that can pull double duty. One item that is getting fans talking is the Storage Essentials Clear Acrylic Rotating Kitchen Turntable, 10-inch size. For just $1.50 each, this turntable is a must-have for your kitchen if you're trying to keep your refrigerator organized — which is great if you want to organize your fridge like a professional chef.

In a video shared to TikTok, a creator shared some Dollar Tree finds and how they can be used to stay organized in a kitchen. One item that popped up was the rotating kitchen turntable, which the TikToker used in two ways. First, you can see it as a lazy Susan on the counter to keep bottles of oil and vinegar together. Then, the video details this item in the fridge as a place to store and organize all of the condiment bottles. The rotating kitchen turntable makes it easy to see everything you have, without things getting lost in the back of the fridge.

Using a turntable or a lazy Susan in the kitchen is not new. However, it does seem like using them in the fridge itself feels a bit fresher. While other creators have talked about how they use turntables in their fridge, oftentimes, they are more expensive options — just look at a comparable version from Ikea. With the rotating kitchen turntable from Dollar Tree, you're getting a more affordable option that works well for keeping your condiments together.

When using this storage solution from Dollar Tree to organize your fridge, consider grabbing more than one turntable, as they work well across a wide range of applications in and out of the kitchen. This is especially thanks to their raised sides, which help to keep things contained on the turntable as you spin it. Depending on the size of the condiment bottles, you can actually fit quite a bit on these trays and still spin them the way it was intended. Beyond using it for condiments, you can also store things like cheese, yogurt, sour cream, and other smaller items that you want easy access to. The size of the turntable itself makes it work well with both large and small items, and on a variety of shelves inside your fridge.

Before purchasing one of these turntables, always check it at the store to make sure that they are spinning properly. And once you get them home, pay attention to how much weight you add to your turntable. While they can fit a wide range of bottles, including flavored syrups and coffee creamers, if there's too much weight on these turntables, they might not spin quite as smoothly as you expect.
