Dollar Tree DIY Hacks That’ll Save You a Fortune
These aren’t complicated projects that require a glue gun and a Saturday afternoon. These are real-life, quick-and-easy tricks that stretch your budget and make your home work a little harder for you—using Dollar Tree finds you can grab today.
🔧 Hack #1: Tension Rod = Under-the-Sink Hero
One of the fastest DIY wins ever. Grab a cheap tension rod from the curtain section and install it under your kitchen or bathroom sink.
Hang spray bottles on it, and boom—instant storage without eating up shelf space. No more knocking over bottles every time you reach for the cleaner.
🧺 Hack #2: Mesh Laundry Bags for All the Tiny Things
These little zippered laundry bags are amazing for rounding up chaos. Bath toys, puzzle pieces, doll shoes, action figures—you name it.
They’re breathable, hangable, and way better than having 37 tiny pieces scattered across the floor.
Bonus: they’re washable too.
🍽️ Hack #3: Napkin Holders for Pot Lid Storage
Okay, if your pot lid situation is out of control, this one is gold. Take two wire napkin holders and stand them vertically in your cabinet.
Now you’ve got an instant filing system for lids. No crashing, no hunting, no frustration.
🧽 Hack #4: DIY Drawer Deodorizer That Doesn’t Reek
Store-bought deodorizers can be… a lot. Mix equal parts vinegar and lemon juice, soak a sponge in it, and place it in a small plastic container (lid off or partially open).
Tuck it in the back of a drawer, under a sink, or behind the trash can. It’s subtle, natural, and weirdly satisfying.
🚗 Hack #5: Plastic Bins for Car Organization
The plastic stackable bins from the school supply aisle? Total game changers for your trunk. Use one for snacks, one for wipes and first aid stuff, and one for jumper cables and random gear.
No more loose bags tipping over or bottles rolling under the seat.
