The “So Awesome” Stackable $3 Michaels Organizer I’m Getting for Every Shelf in My Kitchen

’Tis the season to get organized! Things tend to get chaotic around the holidays, but now’s a great time to really evaluate your kitchen storage and see where space can be optimized. Can you use a lazy Susan to better sort your condiments? How about a drawer organizer to corral everything in one area? Take a look at what you’re working with now, and think of what could be if you used the right organizers — like this brilliant $3 organizer that’s sold at Michaels! 

Originally $5.99 (but on sale for half-off!), this stackable gem from Simply Tidy is an ingenious solution for all your kitchen organizing needs. Measuring in at 8 inches long, 4 inches wide, and 2 inches tall, it’s big enough to organize smaller items without cluttering up much-needed space in your cabinets or pantry. Plus, it’s clear, making it a breeze to see what needs a quick restock. Oh, and did I mention it’s also stackable? Vertical space, I’m talking to you! For reference, it’s similar to the organizer seen in this TikTok posted by creator Ms. EbonyRae below. 

The storage possibilities are seemingly endless with this gem. Use it in the kitchen to easily store items like peelers, measuring cups, meat thermometers, and small tongs. Or pop it on either your countertop or coffee bar to store your coffee and tea essentials like single-serve pods, bags of beans, and tea bags. 

If your kitchen cabinets and pantry need a little organizing help, use this beauty to store smaller items like soup cans, herbs and spices, or jars of sauce and salsa. Home bakers can also create a one-stop shop for baking must-haves, like vanilla extract and sprinkles — and say good-bye to drudging through the pantry once and for all. 

The best part about this Michaels find? It can be used all around the home, not just in the kitchen. Use it to: 

• Organize office supplies like pens, pencils, paperclips, and sticky notes. 
• Store beauty items like nail polish, makeup remover, and skincare essentials in the bathroom. 
• Give your watches, rings, and other accessories a home on your dresser or vanity. 
• Organize crafting essentials like beads and buttons. 
• Store your pet grooming tools like brushes and nail clippers.

I’m obsessed with this mighty organizer, but if it’s not the perfect size for your space, I totally understand. Luckily, Simply Tidy sells these clear containers in multiple sizes! Choose from a 12” x 6” option, a 12” x 8” version, a 12” x 12” size, or several other measurements to customize your storage solutions and make the most of your space. (The prices do vary slightly depending on size.)

I love that the Michaels website lets you see if an item is available to grab at your local store. Simply make your selects, and if they’re available in-store, head to your local shop to grab these organizing game-changers before the holidays come. 

If you can’t find the organizer in the store, Amazon has similar bins for just a few dollars more. They come in different sizes and are also stackable, making them wonderful organizing options for any space in the home. Plus, you can have them delivered right to your doorstep! While I recommend checking out your local Michaels (if you live near one), it’s great to know you have a backup in case it doesn’t work out.
