24 Must-Have Kitchen Organizers (for $20 or Less!) That Will Clear Your Clutter in an Instant
Fact: We never like to tell you that you have to buy a specialized organizer to get your kitchen under control. Seriously. We’ll always try to make over, say, a junk drawer or a corner cabinet without buying a single thing. After all, we’d rather buy a giant tub of flaky sea salt than a basket that might or might not fix our pantry shelves. But some organizers really do end up being worth their weight in gold, no matter how reluctant we might be to admit it. It’s also worth noting that in some cases, the convenience is worth the cost. This is a list of some of the organizers we’ve come across that both editors and readers have come to love over the years. The best part? They’re all under $20, and they’re all very much worth considering this year. If you’re looking to tidy every corner and cabinet of your kitchen, look no further.

Magnetic knife bars like this one are, in our minds, the very best way to store knives. (Knife blocks have all sorts of unnecessary items, and in-drawer storage takes up valuable real estate.)
