Ah, the great Australian pastime of clever improvisations. We here at the Seniors Discount Club are no strangers to snagging a bargain or making the most of what we already have; We know the art of shopping well, and elevating our purchases with a bit of creativity and elbow grease.

Now, we're excited to introduce to you one such simple but brilliant Kmart hack that’s making waves in the world of wardrobes. The spotlight is on an unsuspecting $8 file rack that ingenious Aussies have turned into an organising superhero in disguise.

A Sydney woman, Sidrah Hammad, has given this humble file rack a stylish spin, transforming it into a sleek organiser for her handbag collection. Sidrah shared the unique storage idea on Instagram, to universal acclaim. The beauty of such a hack lies in its simplicity and effectiveness, and of course, accessibility at just $8 from your nearest Kmart.

Sidrah, inspired by the professional organiser Anita Birges (who first popularised using the file racks in kitchen cupboards), embraced the idea. 'I use it to organise my small bags and clutches, makes it so much easier to see everything, whatever I need to grab I can just take it out, put it back in and no dramas everything stays organised,' Hammad said.

‘That's such a good idea. My purses are in a bin just tossed together,’ one grateful follower shared.

‘Wow, what an amazing idea,’ echoed another.

And a third exclaimed: ‘I am definitely trying this!!!’

If you've been drowning in a sea of baking trays, chopping boards, pot lids, and other kitchen utensils, this repurposed file rack is also a godsend for overflowing kitchens, allowing you to stack unwieldy items vertically instead of just precariously placing them on top of each other.

You can use the file rack pretty much the same way Sidrah did, and for more about that, click here.

Hmm no thank you , this would take up more than the actual items and have to say it is ugly.

My solution is only keep item you have used in the past 12 months, honestly if you haven't used it in a year good chance you won't.

I organise my cupboards by keeping it neat
