    7. ...or that has magnets so your spices can hang on the side of your fridge, freeing up cabinet AND counter space.

    9. Or keep 'em out on the counter but still know which knife you're about to pull with this transparent knife "block".

    10. Repurpose an old paper file organizer from the office supply store to sort out your baking sheets and cooling racks.

    11. And for bigger or heavier-duty pans where the thin wire doesn't quite cut it, try a rack made especially to sort cutting boards, muffin pans, and casserole pans.

    15. Tame your cluttered plastic ware by storing it in a drawer — you'll use every inch of cabinet depth, but still be able to pull it forward to reach what you need.

    16. Or just sort it all into a shallow plastic container you already have that can act like a drawer, and use a shoebox to separate and stack the lids.

    17. Keep your soap, sponge, brushes, and other favorite dish-washing supplies neatly stored on a suction-cup organizer that drains any excess water directly into your sink.

    18. Designate an "eat me first" bin, and use it to keep anything that's close to expiring, so when you need a snack, you know where to go, well, first.

    19. And, whether you have kids or just want to snack a little healthier yourself, keep pre-portioned snacks in another easy-access bin.

    20. Pick up a Lazy Susan or two for your fridge, too, so you never lose your favorite jar of olives to the back corner again.

    21. If you have wire shelves, a binder clip can help store a stack of beers so it doesn't roll away.

    25. Add an extra drawer to take advantage of any extra space between your fridge shelves.

    26. Consider keeping a separate plastic bin just for uncooked meat and fish. That way, if any of it leaks, the germy juices won't end up on your produce.

    31. Keep track of all your seasoning packets by hanging them from a humble binder clip and one of those small wire Command Hooks.

    32. File away your potatoes so they take up hardly any space but it's still quick to pull out the file and see what you actually need.

    33. Make all your flour, sugar, pasta, and grains easy to find and classy AF by storing them in a set of four airtight canisters.

    34. If you want to sort basically everything into labeled bins, opt for transparent bins that actually let you see what's inside.
