The Dollar Tree Item That Makes Pantry Clutter A Thing Of The Past

Pantry chaos is a particular type of headache. Sometimes you come back from a busy grocery shopping spree, only to open your cabinets and realize that there's barely any space for the supplies you just got. You pile up canned goods, try to fit everything in, and eventually forget about whatever is hiding at the back. Luckily, there's a better way to keep your pantry neat. With a simple wine bottle holder from Dollar Tree, you can bring order to the chaos.

The hack is to use Dollar Tree's Shatter-Free and Stackable Clear Wine Bottle Holders, which retail for just $1.50 each. As the name implies, these come with a major benefit: They're stackable. This means that you can get several and build out a multi-layer pantry organizer. It's the perfect shape and size for anything with a rounded edge, from canned foods to water bottles and rolls of paper towels.

This wine bottle holder is a great way to solve one of the most common pantry and cabinet organizing issues: tons of unused space up top. Without a dedicated organizing structure, cabinets tend to get cluttered on the bottom, while the empty space above the items remains unused. If you attempt to solve this by stacking things on top of each other, it can feel like a risky mission to reach for anything on the bottom without knocking over other pantry items. By stacking the wine bottle organizers instead, items at the bottom can be accessed without causing a fuss. That way, you're utilizing every inch of cabinet storage space and making your life easier.

This hack is fairly simple, but in order to yield the best results, some planning is necessary. The first question is, knowing that each wine holder is 4 inches tall, how many levels of wine holders can fit in your cabinet or on your pantry shelf? Measure the available height, divide it by four, then round down. For example, if you have 14 inches of height available, you can fit three bottle holders vertically. Then, multiply this by how many rows you'll want horizontally. For example, six wine bottle holders can create a two-by-three organizer.

Another key thing to measure before buying your wine bottle holders is the depth of your pantry or cabinet's shelves. As long as they're over 8 inches deep, the stackable organizers will fit. If you don't have that space, consider other easy and affordable hacks to keep cabinets tidy, like shelf risers. You can also opt to leave the organizer on your kitchen counter, especially if you've got limited cabinet space. If you choose to leave it on the counter, consider covering the clear plastic with some decoupage or spray paint in order to make it more visually appealing.

While this hack is great for organizing canned foods, it can be used for other things, too. For example, use them to organize utensils, chopsticks, straws, or water bottles. You can even use this hack outside of the kitchen or pantry to bring order to other rooms. It can be an unexpected way to organize your bathroom hair tools since the size of the wine bottle holders is perfect to keep cooled-down hair straighteners, curlers, or brushes.
