2. A four-pack of flat zip storage bags for the super organized clothing packer. They're airtight, have a double zipper, and reduce space by three times, easing the transition from summer to fall wardrobes has never been as easy.
Promising review: "These work great. I fit a lot of jackets, blankets, comforters, etc. into one bag. I really like them to consolidate storage." —BudgetFriendlyMom
Price: $19.88
3. A three-tier corner organizer, because nothing feels better than an organized kitchen. Use it as a spice rack or place to store condiments in the cabinet for the most utility.
Promising review: "I have it in my pantry but it's handsome enough to display on a counter. I bought two to place on each end of my pantry shelf, but you could easily put two next to each other creating a half circle of shelving. Bottom two shelves can hold two-deep, depending on size of container. Very good price -- you'd pay three times more if you bought it at Container Store or Sur La Table." —LindaLou
Price: $10.99
4. A set of four storage bins so you can maximize your under-bed storage capabilities. It holds up to 15.5 quarts and has secure latches to keep your items in tip-top shape.
Promising review: "These small, clear storage boxes were perfect for a recent move to make it easy to pack and move smaller items that made it easier to find in a pile of cardboard boxes. They will work perfect also in my sewing, craft, art studio...when I finally get fully organized that is! They are a nice alternative to the heftier prices on another brand." —Karen
Price: $24.38 (available in two colors)
5. A wall-mounted storage cabinet that is ideal for the apartment dweller that hoards bath products. We love a solid skincare routine just as much as the next gal, so we've found a solution that's more of a splurge than a purge.
Promising review: "My kids bathroom was in dire need of storage. This cabinet offered the perfect solution. Since it was going to be in their bathroom, I tasked my 10- and 8-year-olds to follow the directions and put it together. I expected to jump in and finish up, but they were able to put it together in no time. It looks great in their bathroom and holds toiletries with no problem. Pay attention to the dimensions, because it is not deep enough to hold towels." — Smiles
Price: $38.74
6. A multipurpose storage shelf for all your bathroom, laundry, and kitchen organization needs, especially when it feels like they're all essentially the same room. It's hangable and stackable so you can move it around to see where it's services are most needed.
Promising review: "This is a versatile product. You can use it in the kitchen, the laundry room, and the bedroom closet. This shelf helps make room and space in your home. It looks very nice and it is made with sturdy material. It is easy to install. I had my husband install it in my bedroom closet. I stack my under shirts on it. I would recommend this product." —Dagui
Price: $9.74 (originally $12.99)
7. A four-tier rolling cart, because there's nothing more impressive than a rolling cart that can function as a bathroom caddy, kitchen pantry, and closet organizer.
8. A hanging basket so you can maximize room in even the smallest of closets. Just because you don't have the most square footage doesn't mean you should have to throw away all your favorite outfits.
9. A reversible multi-purpose hanging and storage shelf that frees up space so you can display all your favorite items without all the clutter.
Promising review: "Very sturdy, actually bigger than I thought it would be. I didn't pay too much attention to the dimensions, but it's perfect for my small bathroom. I even messed up putting it up but was able to fix it and it is still so sturdy. This will be my go-to shelf for anything laundry or bathroom-related!" —Diana
Price: $13.74
10. A metal storage basket for those that are shy of counter space. If you're looking for a helpful storage solution, look no further than your own four walls. Plus, it's a cute display item to show off your favorite fruits and veggies.
11. A shower caddy, because chances are you have tons of shower products and very little space to store them. It's super functional and easy to assemble, making this space-saver a no-brainer.
12. A mesh shower tote so you'll always have your favorite products at the tips of your fingers. If your shower is a little shy of space, it's a great way to transport your items, so you can access them when you need them and put them away when you're done.
13. A set of two acrylic clear wall-mounted floating shelves that are perfect for any room in the house. Use them to display your perfume, bath products, or favorite knickknacks. It's truly a versatile storage solution and great addition to any home.

Promising review: "We have a very small bathroom with limited wall space for a towel rack. The over door design of this is just wanted we needed. I also like the fact that the bars are not in a straight line. This gives more room for towels to dry." —pianoplayer52
Price: $39.74
15. A four-shelf closet organizer, because if you don't have room for a dresser, this is definitely your best bet. It's super durable and attaches easily to your closet rod, making it a super simple assembly and purchase.
Promising review: "This is one of the best things that I have bought. I really loved the idea of using this organizer to stack more clothes in the closet. I have a closet which runs through back of the wall. So, I could not reach the end of the closet easily. I used this organizer instead. Now I can slide this to the end of the closet (where I cannot reach easily) and pull this when I need it. I love how this looks, simple design yet very sturdy and holds everything that I need to put in. The extra storage space for belts and ties are so thoughtful. Overall, I loved this and would highly recommend this to anyone buying." —Aashara
Price: $15.97
16. An over-the-door shoe organizer so you can keep all your favorite sneakers and loafers organized and accessible. Assembly is as easy as throwing the hooks over the door and placing your shoes in the racks.
Promising review: "This is great because there are no closets here and my shoes were just pushed up under my dresser or in tote bags. I put it up right away, using the hanger hooks that were included, and I instantly felt better! It hangs perfectly against the door, even with the weight of my shoes placed inside each pocket. I put the hanger thingy back over the door too, without either causing a problem together. I'm glad for that because again, no closets here! Thanks Walmart!" —MyKinKStar
Price: $4.88

Promising review: "I have limited space in my wardrobe closet. I had a plastic tie rack but it didn't last. I bought two chrome tie racks and glad I did." —Kennebecfrog

19. A wrap organizer, because there's no better space-saving solution than utilizing the inside of cabinets. It prevents clutter and provides a discreet storage solution.

Promising review: "I needed something for additional storage between my sink, a single-basin cabinet, and toilet. The height is great, it looks very nice and comes with clear plastic things to put on the bottom of the legs to protect the floor and prevent it from sliding. I wish the shelves were square/rectangular vs. oval as they would be a bit more functional but I was limited on size specs. I am very pleased." —regwil

Promising review: "My under-the-sink cabinet was in major need of some organizing. This was the exact size I was seeking for this space! Sturdy, see through and modern, I was able to fit all my loose makeup, tweezers, and hygiene products in one place. It really tidied up the space and looks so much neater! Below you will see before and after pictures. Highly recommend! Great, attractive space-saver!" —jojo19
