15 Minute Fix-Up: Junk Drawer

Oh the dreaded  junk drawer.  A necessary evil in most kitchens.  Mine is in the drawer above the pull out garbage can.  Call me weird, but I couldn't stomach the idea of anything that touches food being stored in that drawer.  Every once in a while, this drawer gets out of control and needs to be picked up.

If you have a spare 15 minutes, you can organize this drawer.  First, take out everything in this drawer. I was surprised by what I found in there!  Next, clean the drawer (hey, it's empty so why not).  Throw out what you don't need.  I threw out a lot of expired coupons.  I also found a new home for certain things that have no reason to be in this drawer, such as a screwdriver.
