Dump and group before buying
Empty the drawer first, throw away trash, then group items. The categories will tell you whether dividers, bins, or one tray makes more sense.
Clear bins prevent repeat mess
Small items disappear when they share a large compartment. Clear bins keep categories visible without needing labels.
Do not over-organize
A junk drawer still needs to be fast. Too many tiny compartments make it harder for everyone in the home to maintain.

What is the cheapest way to organize a junk drawer?
Start with a few clear bins or adjustable dividers after removing trash and duplicates.
Should every item have a label?
Not always. Clear bins often make labels unnecessary for small drawers.

Use broad categories like writing, batteries, keys, tape, and small tools.
