If the heart of your home feels more like the junk drawer of your house, you’re not alone. Between meal prep, snack time, and the endless rotation of sippy cups and lunch containers, it’s easy for a busy family's kitchen to feel... well, busy.
But good news—Amazon is full of brilliant kitchen organization solutions that are practical, affordable, and highly rated by people who live in the same daily snack chaos as you. Here are the best of the best to help you reclaim your counters, calm your cabinets, and maybe even see the back of your fridge again.
1. Stackable Clear Pantry Containers
These are the MVPs of the pantry. Whether you're organizing snacks, pasta, or rogue apple sauce pouches, clear stackable containers help you see what you have (and what you’re out of). They also prevent over buying pantry items!
- Great for grouping snacks by type or kid
- Encourages kids to grab their own food without destroying your system
- Bonus points if you label them
2. Expandable Shelf Organizers
Make the most of vertical space in your cabinets with expandable shelf risers. These are especially helpful for stacking plates, mugs, or cans—and they let you see what’s in the back without pulling out everything in front of it. The nice thing is, your plates, cups and are likely to change which is why people are gravitating to adjustable risers so they can 'adjust' to your life!
There are also great for under the sink! On another note, make sure you read 7 Home Organizing Mistakes You're Probably Making (and How to Fix Them)!
3. Lazy Susan Turntables (For More Than Spices)
Don’t underestimate the power of a well-placed Lazy Susan. Perfect for spices, condiments, vitamins, or kid snacks. Stick one in your pantry, fridge, or corner cabinet and enjoy the joy of actually being able to reach everything.
Tip: Choose one with a non-slip surface or clear sides to keep items from flying when the kids “help.”
4. Cutting Board or Cookie Sheet Organizer
Are you one of those people with the awkwardly stacked cutting boards or cookie sheets that are not in a stackable order? Then this one from Amazon is for you! This cutting board/cookie sheet organizer can sit nicely inside a base cabinet or sit on a nicely organizer counter top.
5. Drawer Dividers (That Actually Stay Put)
Get your drawer game in check with drawer dividers. Whether you’re tackling the infamous junk drawer or trying to separate baby spoons from adult silverware, these help turn chaos into calm with minimal effort.
6. Over-the-Cabinet Bag Dispenser
You know that plastic bag stash that’s slowly taking over a cabinet? Tame it with an over-the-door grocery bag holder. Simple, sleek, and it keeps those bags accessible without stuffing them into a drawer you can never open all the way. This will also help you use your bags without wasting a ton of them. An easy way to be more eco-friendly!
7. Under-Sink Organizer with Drawers
The under-sink zone is often a graveyard for half-empty soap bottles and mystery sponges and who knows what else. A 2-tier sliding organizer helps you make use of the vertical space, and the pull-out feature makes it easy to grab what you need—no yoga poses or extreme frustration required.
8. Wrap & Foil Organizer Rack
These are low-key an awesome find. I can't tell you the number of times our box that holds the plastic wrap or tin foil has gotten messed up or the piece that cuts the wrap falls off, making it extremely annoying to get the wrap. I hate having to bust out scissors to cut tin foin or plastic wrap nicely.
A wrap organizer & cutter rack sits inside a cabinet or sits upright in a drawer to keep everything neat and at your fingertips and easy to cut!
Optional upgrade: Go fancy with a wooden wrap dispenser that has slots for foil, wrap, and even baggies—with built-in cutters.
9. Fridge Bins with Handles
Fridge bins = less time rummaging, more time eating. Use them to organize yogurts, fruit pouches, juice boxes, or leftovers. The handles make them easy to pull out, and your kids will love having their own snack bin they can grab without yelling your name (hopefully).
10. Magnetic Fridge Organizer Shelf
If your fridge is covered in drawings, magnets, and mystery goo, consider a magnetic shelf that attaches to the side of your fridge. Use it to hold spices, pens, or frequently used items so they’re not crowding your counters. These little things are awesome.
