Long gone are the days when keeping your house organized would cost you half of that week's paycheck. Taking a trip to your local dollar store can eliminate the high cost that is often associated with home decor and organization. It can also simultaneously provide you and your family with quite a few appealing and space-effective bathroom, kitchen, closet, and laundry room storage ideas. When it comes to organizing, it usually feels like you have to choose between saving space, time, or money, but with these dollar store home organization ideas, you won't have to compromise on any of the three again. The best part? Most things are $10 or less, and the ones that aren't will rarely go above $20. From a behind-the-door shoe rack to and over-the-toilet shelf unit to gorgeous black and rose gold baskets, your local dollar store has it all.

Small bathroom? No problem. Buying an over-the-toilet storage rack is a great way to maximize the space you do have. It is a little pricey for dollar-store-standards, but anywhere else, an over-the-toilet rack would definitely cost much more than $20.
