Rubbermaid Drawer Organizer Review and Giveaway

by Stefany on July 22, 2010

Oh dear junk drawer… you are my enemy. Yes, I have so much junk stuff in my “junk” drawer that it is overflowing. Truth be told, I actually have more than one junk drawer. It really is that bad.

Rubbermaid sent me a Drawer Organization Kit to try to tackle my junk drawer problem. I think the problem is that we were just throwing things in there without any rhyme or reason. Now, we have this…

Okay now. You might be thinking that it still looks pretty messy. The thing is that we are able to find things in this drawer now. While it is still overstuffed (totally our fault), everything now has a place. The drawer organizer has given us some reason to our rhyme…. some sense to our chaos! I am very pleased with the results after using the Rubbermaid Drawer Organizer!

Just to be fair, this is one picture of our other junk drawer. It is a chaotic mess and nothing is organized at all. I could use some organizing here for sure!

I save the Coke caps for coke points but someone had put just some random caps in the drawer.
