As the winter chill settles in and the days get shorter, many of us find ourselves spending more time indoors, snuggled up with a cuppa and a good book.

But with all this extra time at home, it’s hard not to notice those little household annoyances—like the medicine cabinet that’s more chaos than care, overflowing with half-empty boxes, expired prescriptions, and mystery ointments from who-knows-when.


If your medicine storage is more 'lucky dip' than a 'well-oiled machine', you’re not alone!

It’s a common gripe among Aussies, especially as cold and flu season ramps up, and we need quick access to Panadol, bandages, and all those other essentials.


But what if we told you there’s a simple, affordable way to transform your medicine cabinet from a jumbled mess into a model of organisation—all thanks to a clever $10 Kmart trick?

Enter Chrystal Bowman, an Aussie mum who’s become a bit of a legend on social media for her genius home organisation ideas.

Chrystal recently shared her medicine cabinet transformation, and it’s so simple you’ll wonder why you didn’t think of it sooner.


Her secret is a fridge drawer from Kmart! That’s right—those clear, stackable containers designed for your fridge are the perfect solution for sorting and storing all your medical supplies.

Chrystal paired the $12 large fridge drawers with the $10 small ones, stacking them to create neat, labelled compartments for everything from kids’ medicine to supplements, creams, and first aid supplies.

To finish the look, she used labels from Amazon, making it easy to find precisely what you need—no more rummaging around in the dark for children’s Panadol at 2 am!

And for those worried about the drawers sliding around, Chrystal recommends popping some grip roll (also from Kmart) underneath to keep everything in place.

The response online has been huge, with fellow Kmart fans calling the trick 'genius' and 'ridiculously satisfying'.

And honestly, who doesn’t love a bit of order in their life, especially when it comes to health and safety?

Having a tidy, well-organised medicine cabinet does more than just look nice—it can genuinely improve your health and peace of mind.

Expired or unlabelled medicines can be dangerous, particularly if children or grandkids are around, so keeping everything clearly labelled and in date helps prevent accidents.

In emergencies, being able to find the right medicine quickly saves precious time.

Staying organised also reduces waste by helping you avoid buying duplicates or letting medicines expire unnoticed.

Above all, knowing that everything is in order brings a simple but satisfying sense of readiness for whatever life may bring.

Kmart shoppers are famous for their creativity, and the medicine cabinet isn’t the only area getting a budget-friendly makeover.

DIY content creator Jess Brouwer recently wowed her followers with a clever under-sink storage solution using an $8 magnetic basket and a $9 broom gripper—both from Kmart, of course!

Jess simply swapped out the magnetic strip for adhesive Command strips, stuck the basket to the inside of her cupboard door, and used the broom gripper to hold her dish brush.

The result is more storage, less clutter, and easy access to cleaning supplies. It’s proof that a little ingenuity (and a trip to Kmart) can go a long way.
