 I have some junk in my trunk..er my junk drawer.  🙂

My “junk drawer” was getting out of control so I decided to try and figure out a cool way to organize all the little “tokens and other various” items I just throw in there. I had a lot of coupons in there so I went through those first and put them  in my MISC coupon file. That was great.

But then came the problem of all the little stuff. Coke points, box tops for education, cereal tokens ect. Heres what I came up with!

Who knew a shoe organizer could be so much fun. I even have my incoming Bills put in the top pocket! I feel so organized now. Here are the item pockets I have currently in there.
1 Incoming Bills
2Mail In Rebate Forms found various places
3 Rainchecks I am not quite ready to use
4 Coke Points caps and codes
5 Hair Cut Cards & Coupons
6 Craft store & Joanns coupons plus Formula Checks
7 All the Pizza and restaurant coupons sent to me
8 Box Tops for Education
8 Cereal tokens and forms
9 Various UPCs I want to keep for who knows when? lol.
10 Albertsons free bread receipt surveys.

I bought this Shoe organizer at Walmart for around $7-8.  I folded it in half for now as there are tons of pockets and I didnt need them all.

I hang this on my laundry room door and it is GREAT! I can just throw stuff in whenever I need to. And I can see through all the pockets too.

Now my junk drawer has room for other new junk..ha ha.

Pssssst...

    I used this idea in my kids room when they were babies. I was short on space (1940s houses have tiny closets) so I hung one of these on the inside of the closet door. Bottles of baby shampoo, lotion, oil & powder etc fit in these pockets. Then a pocket for baby socks, one for bloomers, one for hairbows/bands, one for baby socks, baby shoes, sample packets of baby toiletries I got from the hospital, etc. It worked wonderfully. I even wrote on it in sharpie so my hubby could find stuff (not that he looked, he just hollered down the hallway at me. Just like a man, LOL) But it got to where I could tell him exactly where things were without having to be in the room. I think I’ll try it for my junk drawer….

    What a wonderful idea. I already employ the shoe organizer trick in the bathroom (love having things easily available…) and for my junk drawer items. I was just thinking there has got to be something out there to tame the paper jungle that lands on the kitchen counter. THIS may just be the idea. Amazing how you can employ something in one area and sometimes not come up with it on your own to employ in another area. Those shoe thingies work great for hats and mittens too!

    Thank you!

    I just have to say how much I love the organizing you have shared here. I have an over the door hanging organizer on almost every door in my house including the garage. I also have a ton of plastic drawers. We recently moved 1650 miles across country and when we unloaded our truck people complained about the number of them I own. Haha. But, I LOVE THEM! Thanks for sharing such awesome pictures.

    I use one of these, too, but it’s in my pantry for things like cocoa packets, Crystal Lights packs, Kool Aids, gravy packets, etc. It also holds misc food packets we get from take out. But I am going to buy another one of these and do this with it, I love this idea.
