Another hack I like is using zip ties to organize my broom and mops. It saves a lot of time when I need to find them, plus they always seem to stay in place!
Cereal boxes (and cereal box materials like cardboard, paper towel rolls, etc) are perfect for storing magazines. You can also use them to create dividers or holders in your shoe closet. My main use for them right now is for water bottle storage, and school books (we're homeschoolers).
Binder clips are perfect for hanging clothes, especially when you don't want to make holes in your clothes. The clip doesn't detach from the hanger, so you can take it off and put it on again without leaving any marks or damage. Here are 10 different things you can do with binder clips:

I like to use muffin trays in my home office to hold paperclips, pushpins, and other stationery. I put the trays out on my desk when I need to access them, and when I'm done with them, they go back into the drawer. Fortunately, they are the correct size to fit into the drawer. You can be creative and spray paint the tray just to give it the glam look. Always group like items together to prevent more clutter. Digging up paper clips amid pushpins can lead to the very clutter you are trying to avoid.

Fill up plastic tumblers with pencils, pens, erasers, and other school supplies for your kids' homework. Make a caddy out of a basket and some tumblers to organize the rest of their things. In the long run, you will save on homework supplies, as well as keep the homework area neat and tidy.

Let's be frank, cupcake liners tend to get the least love when it comes to proper storage and organization. Stacking them up inside a clear jar is as straightforward and functional as it can get. This is one of my favorite dollar store organizing ideas.
Clear stackable containers are great for storing small items like office supplies. They can be stacked on top of one another and the contents of each container are easily visible. There is no need to dump out the contents of every container just to find what you're looking for. You can even label them for easy identification.
A sink caddy is the simplest of all dollar store organization hacks and does not require any DIY prowess. It goes a long way in storing your small kitchen sink supplies. It hangs on the back of your kitchen sink for easy access. I've had mine for over 3 years now, and the suction still holds firmly.
Clear storage boxes are a wonderful way to organize kids' shelves, and they can be found in all shapes and sizes. I was kind of running out of tips to help my now teen keep her closet neatly organized, so we hit the nearest dollar store to find organizing ideas for her. I prefer the clear plastic boxes because she can scan through them and find the clothing item she's looking for, instead of messing it up every time she needs her stuff. These are most effective if you sort your wardrobe by clothing type.
