Hang Your Chip Bags
Who said your pants' hanger is exclusively meant for your closet? Why not use it in the kitchen and hang up frozen goods (in the freezer) or snack bags that have been opened but are unfinished (in the pantry)? Now you don't have to worry about any spillage from these bags that might also be taking up unnecessary space in your pantry or freezer.

This way, you can see exactly what you have, so it will save you money by not buying things you don't need, we have a feeling it can also keep whatever is left in the chip bag fresh, again, money saving and overall, why not make use of those spare hangers you have?
Use a Tension Rod for More Storage
Household cleaning supplies are usually stored separately under the sink in the kitchen or bathroom. But all the different kinds of products, plus the oddly shaped spray bottles, can take up a lot of space and cause cabinet clutter. Why don't they design these bottles so they can all stand up straight one by each other's side?

A tension rod can really help with this problem. You can find them at any hardware store, and they don’t cost much. Hang one high at the front of the cabinet, and you can line up your spray bottles on it, making them more accessible and creating more space underneath.
Dish Towel Rack
Dish towels are basically just Petri dishes in the making. Somehow, they are never dry enough, which lets any kind of bacteria that lands on them have a sweet party with all of its friends. The way to take care of your dish towels and keep them nice and dry is to install a rack. They must be hung so they are naturally ventilated.

Mount a tension rod on the wall over the sink, hang your dish towels on it, and tell the bacteria it can look for somewhere else to the party. You can personalize the rod by adding small flower pots onto the rod. Who ever said no to a bit of nature around the kitchen?
Use a Pringles Can to Store Spaghetti
Spaghetti noodles usually come in plastic bags that are almost impossible to reclose once you have opened them. If you only cook some of the noodles, the ones left in the bag become a bit stale and tend to start falling out into your pantry. Next time you are snacking on some Pringles, keep the empty can, clean it out, and it becomes the perfect container for noodles.
