Looking for inexpensive options for:
-drawer inserts for junk drawer
-bins for pantry/linen closet
-mesh bins for produce
Any ideas?

Start your search at the Dollar Tree.

Do you live near any amazing savings? I got great draw inserts from there for $1-2 each.

Honestly how much of a budget are you on? I find the stuff at the dollar store is very junky. I'd rather spend a little more and get something that lasts vs. having to replace after things start breaking. I'm also more motivated to keep things organized and tidy when the containers aren't cracking and falling apart.

I've found good organizers at Wal-Mart that were probably 1/4 of the price that Amazon has them listed at.

I'd specifically recommend the white wash basin type things from dollar tree. I found them to be perfect for organizing my daughters dresser drawers, and separating underwear, socks, tights, etc...

I found inexpensive plastic bins that fit into my drawers. One for panties, one for bras, etc. Probably from Target or Walmart. If you wait till July or August, they will have lots of those kinds of stuff because of back to school college students shopping for dorm rooms.

Save your money. Start collecting boxes and containers of all kinds: shoe boxes, cereal cartons, pill containers, egg cartons, diaper cartons, margarine tubs, old Tupperware, you name it. Trim to fit. My kids have been toilet trained for 27 years and I still have their diaper cartons dividing my dresser drawers.
Don’t buy organizing stuff till you figure out where you want to store things. Once you plan out your storage and see what you have on hand that you can use, then, and ONLY then, if there are gaps you know you won’t be able to fill with readily-repurposed containers, buy items to fill the gaps. If looks are important to you, cover the visible parts of containers with Con-tact (TM), foil or gift wrap.
Your storage needs change as your family situation changes. It’s much easier on the wallet (and the conscience) to discard an old shoe box than to get rid of something you spent cold cash for.

Are you doing the Kon-mari method? Her website has lots of ideas.
Ikea has some great stuff in all shapes and sizes, at good prices.

Just checked there today, they had drawer inserts but with holes so I feel like the pencils/pens will slide through and also there was nowhere a label would stick which I feel like is key to maintenance...
I did see the wash basins there and think those might work for the pantry.
