We all know how easily a kitchen can become a disorganized nightmare.  Most of us eat 3 meals a day in this space, so keeping it clean, organized and stress free is important.  Stray spices, miss-matched Tupperware covers and lost pot lids quickly become very frustrating. Luckily, you can avoid this hassle by purchasing some great kitchen products. Here are our favorite organizers for five hard-to-organize kitchen areas:

1. Cabinet  Organizers:

Double Lazy Susan: This handy product will eliminate the need to dig to the back of your cabinet to find that tiny spice you need. The price is reasonable at only $25.99. Tip: Buy another for your bathroom closet as well.

Expandable Step Shelf:  Know exactly what you have in the house with this tiered step shelf. We love that it is made of bamboo and it expands to fit your shelf perfectly.

Soup Can Rack: Canned food items take up most of the space in many cabinets, but that problem is solved with this soup can rack for only $33.55.

2. Fridge Organizers:

Stackable Roll Down Water Bottle Rack: Store your bottled soda and water in this bottle rack and you’ll still have additional room on the top. It’s a bargain at only $7.98.

Fridge Lazy Susan: This lazy susan is a favorite of ours. It easy installs on your glass shelf with suction cups and spins for easy access to small fridge items.

3. Pantry Organizers:

Thin Pantry Caddy: Don’t have a pantry? No problem. This thin pantry caddy fits in the most wasted space in the kitchen; the thin spot between the fridge and your cabinets. It is on wheels so you can easily pull it out.

Under Shelve Drawer: Running out of space in your pantry? Install one of these Rubbermaid drawers and easily add space for extras. We use it to hold plastic and aluminum wraps. It’s inexpensive at only $15.99.

Over the Door Pantry Organizer: Add more space to your pantry with this over the door hanging organizer. Tip: Mount it instead of hanging it so it stays securely in place when opening and closing the door.

4. Under the Sink Organizers:

Under-Sink Roll Out Double Drawer: Sick of digging for that dish detergent? This rollout drawer installs very easily and eliminates the need to go searching under

the sink for lost items.

Plastic Grocery Bag Holder: While the greener way to avoid plastic grocery bag clutter is to purchase reusable grocery bags, sometimes you can’t avoid using them. This plastic bag holder mounds nicely onto your cabinet door and only costs $12.99.

Double Trash Pullout: Many people like to hide their trash cans under the sink, but too often the trash can is missed and there is a smelly mess left on your cabinet floors. This double trash pullout solves this problem. We like the double trash cans as one can be used for recyclables!

5. Kitchen Countertop Organizers:

Hanging Baskets: When kitchen cabinets and drawers are full, items begin to clutter on our countertops. This hanging basket is the perfect place to store potatoes, fruits and hand towels and save valuable countertop space. We also love the basket design.
