If you don't think you can't find attractive yet affordable organization solutions for your home, think again. It's not always easy to organize when you're on a budget. But it's even harder to keep everything in one place. Here are seven organizational solutions that won't weigh down your wallet. 

Clean Your Cabinets, Counters, and Sink

When it comes to organizing your kitchen and bathroom, it's best to keep things simple. Something as simple as a sponge holder can keep your sponges out of the way and in one place. If you're someone who bakes or cooks a lot, then you probably have pots and pans all over your countertops. 

Sometimes it's hard to find space in your cabinets and drawers for so many of these items. One solution is to keep all of your utensils together inside an inexpensive container that doubles as a decoration for your kitchen counters. Not only will you free up space in your drawers and cabinets, but you'll have all of your utensils in one place. 

Buy Dollar Store Separators

Everyone has a junk drawer in their kitchen or another place in their home. You open the drawer to get something that you need but find that it's so jammed that nothing will budge. Or maybe you have difficulty searching for that one item. Use draw separators from the dollar store to clear out your kitchen counters. 

Group each of your items together by materials or by purpose. Arrange each group into one of the draw separators. Not only will you be able to close your drawer, but it'll be more organized. Draw separators will allow you to find that one thing you were looking for. 

Store Belongings in Mason Jars

Mason jars are a trendy houseware item. They allow you to organize anything that you want. These cute jars come in your choice of glass or plastic and come in a wide variety of colors. Mason jars can be used to store plenty of items such as batteries, matches, and office supplies. 

You can also use Mason jars to store pens, pencils, and paperclips. You can group things by specific items such as your crayons in one jar and colored pencils in another jar. The great thing about Mason jars is that you can find them at any dollar store. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get your hands-on cute Mason jars.

Organize with File Folders

File folders can be used to organize your bills, magazines, mail, and important paperwork. Do you have a huge pile of magazines in your bathroom? Display them with file folders or napkin holders from the dollar store. Since they hold so much paper, you're responsible for recycling the magazines that you read rather than holding onto a growing pile. 

For added organization, purchase a calendar whiteboard. This allows you to keep track of your weekly chores and cleaning tasks. A post-it whiteboard is a great option if you don't need a calendar. Or, you can use a monthly planner and store it in your file folders.

Use Velcro Strips

Velcro is an inexpensive trick you can use to keep everything in its place. Use Velcro strips on your kids' stuffed animals and place them on a Velcro wall. When they're done playing with them, encourage them to stick their friend back on the wall. Velcro strips are available at any dollar store and they're ideal for organizing a wide variety of items. Use Velcro strips around cords or wrapping paper to make the most of your organization.

Shop at the Thrift Store

The dollar store may offer a wide variety of organization tools, but the thrift store can help you find unique organization solutions that don't require a lot of money. Thrift shops offer antiques and vintage items for just a few dollars. Just clean them or dust them and they're still good enough to use. Thrift stores have plenty of hidden gems such as jewelry displays, glass dishes, and decorative organizers. Estate sales and yard sales are also great for finding unique organization options.

Use Magnets for Organization

There are so many uses to magnets. Are you always searching for bobby pins? Glue a magnetic strip to the inside of your drawer with a hot glue gun. This is a great way to organize your bobby pins, hair clips, manicure tools, tweezers, and other little things that might go missing. Magnets are a cheap solution for holding onto items that get lost easily. Make sure the magnets are strong enough so that they won't fail. 

These dollar-store finds are great for finding organizational solutions. For less than $10, you can find several ways to clean out your spaces and declutter your home. These organizational solutions will also have your home looking stylish. In addition, thrift stores and yard sales can help you find more one-of-a-kind solutions for less.
