Dollar Tree Storage Baskets With Handles Can Simplify Finding Things In Your Pantry

If you have a cluttered pantry, you'll find that additional storage containers may be the solution to your problem. Sometimes it's hard to find things because your pantry stores so many different food items. Containers allow you to organize by category, reserving each collection of goods to their own compartment. For instance, your canned goods and packets of ramen can go in one container while your cereal boxes and coffee pods can go in another. One drawer is for quick hot meals, while the other is for morning necessities. Dollar Tree sells plastic slot storage baskets with handles for $1.50 each, and hopefully these baskets will help you create a pantry system that actually stays organized.

These storage containers will work well for your pantry because you slide them forward using the handle, so they function like a drawer. They are also perforated, so it's relatively easy to see what is inside. These baskets even come in various colors, which not only brightens your kitchen but also makes it easier to organize the space. As presented by @momchaostexas on TikTok, these tubs tend to work well beneath wire racks, which allow you two tiers of storage space on a single shelf.

You can purchase tags from Dollar Tree to label the baskets. Dollar Tree also sells a variety of stickers to decorate your storage containers. It's a good idea to keep certain items, like bags of sugar and flour, in Ziploc bags when you put them in these containers to avoid spills. You can fill the baskets with organic goods like onions and potatoes, but if they end up spoiling, you can empty the containers and scrub them with soap and warm water. If an odor persists, vinegar should clean it up.

One of the best aspects of these containers is that they maximize space without forcing you to reach into the back of the pantry to find what you need — you can simply pull out the basket. There are plenty of other affordable solutions that will help you say goodbye to pantry clutter, including wire trash cans for potato storage, wire drawer organizers, and paper towel racks for spices. You can even hang storage racks from the inside of the door to keep spices and condiments. If this sounds like something you need, Walmart sells a pantry door organizer that reviewers seem to think is worth buying.
